What's the difference between myotherapy and remedial massage?
Remedial massage focuses on hands-on work to treat muscle tension and injury. Myotherapy adds a more detailed assessment and can include techniques such as dry needling, cupping and exercise advice.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly without a GP referral.
Does dry needling hurt?
The needles are very fine. You may feel a brief twitch or dull ache as the muscle releases, and some people feel mild soreness afterwards. It's always optional.
Will cupping leave marks?
It can leave round, painless marks that usually fade within several days. Let us know if you have an event coming up and we can adjust.
How firm will the massage be?
As firm or as gentle as you need. We check in throughout and you can ask us to change the pressure at any time.
What should I wear?
Wear something comfortable. You'll only undress to the level you're comfortable with, and you'll be covered with towels throughout.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition and how long you've had it. After your first assessment we'll give you an honest idea.
Can I claim on my private health insurance?
Instant HICAPS health fund rebates are available on site for most major funds. Your rebate depends on your fund and level of cover.
