Services
Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage targets musculoskeletal conditions through deep tissue techniques, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release. Ideal for treating postural imbalances, sports injuries, and chronic pain. Sessions include clinical assessment and tailored exercise advice to promote long-term recovery and prevent recurrence.
Clinical Pilates
Clinical Pilates combines matwork and reformer exercises for injury rehabilitation and postural correction. Supervised one-on-one sessions use specialised equipment to address conditions like back pain, arthritis, and hypermobility. Programs focus on core stability, flexibility, and functional movement patterns for improved daily living.
Dry Needling
Dry Needling involves inserting fine needles into trigger points to relieve muscle tension and pain. This evidence-based technique treats conditions like tennis elbow, sciatica, and headaches by stimulating the body's natural healing response and improving blood flow to affected areas.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping Therapy uses silicone or glass cups to create suction, releasing tight muscles and improving circulation. Beneficial for chronic back pain, shoulder stiffness, and post-exercise recovery. The treatment promotes lymphatic drainage and reduces inflammation without invasive procedures.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage addresses musculoskeletal discomfort during pregnancy using specialised cushions for safe positioning. Alleviates lower back pain, swelling, and stress while promoting relaxation. Techniques are adapted to each trimester to support maternal well-being and prepare for labour.

Questions
What conditions do you treat?
We treat musculoskeletal pain, postural issues, sports injuries, pregnancy-related discomfort, and chronic conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis through manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation.
Can I claim sessions on private health insurance?
Most remedial massage and myotherapy sessions are claimable with extras cover. Clinical Pilates is not generally covered, though HCF members may claim under health management programs.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is required, but we recommend consulting your GP for complex conditions. WorkCover clients need a referral letter from their case manager before booking.
What should I wear to Pilates classes?
Wear fitted workout clothing that allows movement. Non-slip Pilates socks are mandatory for hygiene and safety during reformer sessions.
Are there concession rates available?
We offer discounted rates for healthcare card holders and students. Contact us directly to discuss eligibility and payment options for ongoing treatment plans.
