On your first visit, your Massage Therapist’s goal is to gain a deep and complete picture of your symptoms and health. You will be required to complete a history form prior to your appointment. This will allow them to address and determine what type of massage will benefit you most. We recommend your initial appointment last for up to an hour or at least 45 minutes.

What should I bring to my Massage appointment?
Dress comfortably for your massage appointments. Depending on the technique that your therapist will use, you may or may not need to undress; or you may find it more convenient to bring a loose pair of shorts to wear during your session. For a full body massage, you will need to undress and you will have complete privacy. During the massage, you will be covered with a towel at all times except for the area being worked on.
A referral is not required in order to book an appointment with a massage.

What types of Massage and other treatments do you offer during a massage appointment?
Any treatment is tailored to suit each individual’s specific requirements, and our remedial therapists provide a wide range of massage styles, including:
· Relaxation Massage – This type of massage aims to reduce stress and muscle tension. It will help you to relax and unwind from the everyday stress in life.
· Deep Tissue – As the name suggests, it is a deep form of massage and it uses slow deep, and intense strokes. It aims to improve structural restrictions caused by deeper muscles and tissue layers.
· Sports Massage – Designed to help you enhance physical performance, reduce stiffness, increase flexibility and promote faster recovery from injuries.
· Lymphatic Drainage Massage– Stimulates the lymph nodes to drain the lymph fluid from the tissues to assist fluid flow throughout the body, aid toxins removal and improve circulation.
· Cupping therapy – Consists of the use of special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
· Dry Needling– Consists of the use of special needles inserted in “trigger points” in your muscle or tissue. Dry needling is also sometimes called intramuscular stimulation. The points are areas of knotted or hard muscle.
In many cases, there are other underlying factors causing an injury. For example, it could be that constant back pain is caused by bad posture, repetitive work-related activities, adopting the wrong technique when playing a sport or even being overweight. Accordingly, the myotherapist not only treats the back pain but addresses the other factors too. This holistic approach aims to reduce the risk of the injury happening again.
How long should I book a massage for?
Usually, a full body massage treatment lasts approximately one hour.
The half-hour appointment only allows time for a partial massage session such as neck and shoulders, back or legs and feet.
Most people prefer 60-minute sessions for optimal relaxation. The 90-minute session is the ultimate experience of feeling totally relaxed and free from any aches, pains, and stress-related disorders.

Alan
Alan is a whole-hearted believer that regular and consistent self-care is the key for anyone to achieve better well-being! You and I want to greet each moment of each day in good health and wellness, with less pain and more comfort, with more suppleness, more flexibility, and with more ease in our movements. And perhaps with a happy smile on our lips! It is no wonder that Alan practices self-care passionately and shares this style of mindful practical living with everyone he meets. And as an experienced and skilled therapist, Alan offers a remedial massage as a service in this clinic so that you can easily add massage to your self-care routines, as a rewarding wellness habit worth cultivating.
As a qualified and experienced remedial massage therapist over many years, Alan is skilled in many of soft tissue massage techniques that he can apply to optimise your well-being. Unique to Alan is his deep knowledge of the fascia and hands-on experience in the release or “unwinding” of the fascia with myofascial techniques. Alan knows fascia like no other because of his Ph.D. research at Flinders University where he studies the sensory impact of fascia tissue in chronic low back pain. Many researchers now agree that there is enough evidence to indicate that a healthy fascia is important for a person’s sense of physical and emotional well-being.
To practice self-care, and to improve your well-being, Alan invites you to book in now for a remedial massage with him to experience for yourself the benefits of myofascial release and soft tissue massage treatments!
When not taking care of your needs in massage, Alan is out roller-blading, kayaking, practicing daily yoga and meditation for self-care, or spending quality time with her only daughter.
