Services
Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage targets musculoskeletal issues through deep tissue manipulation. This service addresses chronic pain, sports injuries, and postural imbalances by applying firm pressure to release muscle tension. Therapists use physical assessments to create tailored treatment plans, focusing on long-term recovery and mobility improvement for clients seeking targeted pain relief.
Dry Needling
Dry Needling involves inserting fine needles into trigger points to alleviate muscle tightness and inflammation. This technique effectively treats acute injuries, repetitive strain, and chronic pain conditions. Therapists combine it with other modalities to enhance blood flow, reduce nerve sensitivity, and accelerate healing for clients experiencing localized muscular discomfort or restricted movement.
Hot Stone Therapy
Hot Stone Therapy uses heated basalt stones to relax muscles and improve circulation. Warm stones are placed on key body areas while therapists incorporate them into deep tissue techniques. This service promotes profound relaxation, eases stress-related tension, and enhances treatment effectiveness for clients seeking both therapeutic benefits and a luxurious sensory experience.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage addresses the unique physical demands of expectant mothers through gentle, supportive techniques. This service alleviates lower back pain, swelling, and joint discomfort while promoting emotional well-being. Therapists use specialised positioning to ensure comfort and safety, focusing on enhancing circulation and preparing the body for labour throughout all trimesters.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping Therapy creates suction on the skin to lift connective tissue and improve fluid movement. This service reduces muscle stiffness, enhances recovery from sports injuries, and alleviates chronic pain by promoting microcirculation. Therapists use dynamic cupping techniques to avoid bruising while effectively releasing fascial restrictions and improving range of motion for active individuals.

Absolute waste of time and money. I will NOT be attending this practice again or recommending to anyone I know. I've received more relief from one of those dodgy message places in shopping centres. I shouldn't have to walk out of a two hour massage and still feel the need to take painkillers as my calves weren't even touched when I had asked for them to be worked on. I also requested dry needling, one of the main reasons why I picked this practice but the therapist decided she didn't want to provide that service as she felt her fingers could do the job better. That's all well and good but

Had a massage earlier this year, the therapist was relatively new and when I went to pay I was told that she didn't have her number or whatever and I was at the time unable to get a rebate from my healthcare. I was told that they would call me once they got it and I could claim later. Never received and updated invoice so I was never able to claim a rebate. Been so long now I forgot about it, I was cleaning out my emails and I still have the invoices which is what reminded me to leave a review. I have attached the invoice number it has been so long now , highly doubt I can get any refund from

High quality treatments from very capable therapists - location is good, rooms are well appointed and always tidy and clean. Online booking system works very well and they offer a range of different treatment types to suit a variety of health concerns. Shout-out to Merryn Harpley who is an absolute super star and very skilled in her profession. Highly recommended
