Yes, that is one of the selections under Deep Tissue/Sports Massage.

And depending on your workout routine, you can also break the full body into two sessions (Upper Body and Legs + Glutes) which you could book a week apart.

Not at all. We work with all shapes, sizes and activity levels. Sports people are common clients, but so are desk workers dealing with the results of sitting all day, and tradies undoing the wear of physical work. Every body deserves to move with less pain and restriction, and that's who we're here for. Come in and talk through your specific pain points or mobility issues. and we'll tailor the session to you.

Yes, we have reframed it as Recovery and Relaxation, catering to those coming from a workout who want to be put in a great space, rather than worked on. 

And it fits those who aren't part of the gym, and want to relax for instance, after work.

Not quite. Some sessions genuinely don't need it, but if we're working toward a real, lasting fix rather than just easing things for the day, I do need a quick look at how your body's moving before we start. It's how I find what's actually driving the problem, not just where it hurts.

And we do keep it down to a few minutes, then we're straight into treatment. Often assessment and treatment come together.

Remedial massage is targeted treatment that finds and addresses what's actually causing your pain or restriction, using techniques like deep tissue work, trigger point release and myofascial release. It's clinical and results-focused that is built to fix the problem.

Very safe in our hands, as we are  qualified therapists. We check your health history beforehand for anything needing extra care, work with you as other issues may arise during the treatment, work at a pressure that suits you, and you can speak up any time during the session. Mild soreness afterward is normal and settles within a day or so.

Remedial massage targets specific issues like tight muscles or injuries. It is more targeted and therapeutic while relaxation massage is more calming.

**AVAILABLE FROM DECEMBER**

Dry needling targets stubborn trigger points that manual work can't always fully release. A fine needle goes straight into the tight muscle band to prompt it to let go. We also use it alongside remedial massage and myofascial release, as well as a standalone treatment.

Both use thin needles, but they come from different approaches. Dry needling is based on Western anatomy. Which means it targeting a specific tight muscle or trigger point to release tension. Acupuncture comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine and works along meridian points for broader balance. We use dry needling specifically, as part of remedial treatment alongside massage and myofascial release, to target the exact spot causing your pain.

**WE DON'T OFFER THAI OR CHINESE MASSAGE. WE WILL REFER IF NEED BE**

The difference is tha:

• Thai massage uses stretching and rhythmic pressure along the body's energy lines rather than Western anatomy, and
• Chinese massage works within a traditional Chinese medicine framework.

Both eastern, where we are firmly in the western Remedial realm. We stay grounded in anatomy, targeting the nervous system, fascia, muscles and joints to treat what's actually causing your pain or restriction.

No. In fact, massage helps you avoid future injuries.

Either. I am happy to chat to people and to be silent. We adjust to the client, so let us know. There can be better therapeutic results if there is some talk, where we can get to the bottom of issues the more we talk about them.

Our oils don't.

When we use balm, we ask first if it is OK to use. If the client has eczema or allegies, we use very light oil in place of the balm.

Issues with fragrances. I have many clients that can't take strong smells so everything in the clinic is as fragrance free as possible. I never wear any fragrances, the oil is fragrance free and I also have sorbeline.

It is your choice, There is also a large selection of playlists depending on your mood. We equally cater to those who want silence/

Yes. https://rebootergroup.com.au/bookings.

The number of sessions varies depending on individual needs and health goals. Many clients experience noticeable improvements after just one session, but consistent treatments can significantly enhance results, especially for injury recovery and stress management.

Wear comfortable clothing and arrive a few minutes early to find parking. Hydrating well before and after your session can also enhance the benefits of your massage.

Yes! Thereis 90 minute free parking right outside our doorstep in the Bakehouse Quarter.

Nothing. We will make sure you have filled out an intake form if it is your first session.

Yes, drinking water after a treatment is a good idea. The common theory is that massage moves waste byproducts into your bloodstream for your kidneys to filter, and water helps that process along. The dramatic "flushing out toxins" language you'll hear elsewhere isn't well supported scientifically, so we don't lean on it. If real toxins were being released, a glass of water wouldn't be enough to help you. Some clients feel a bit thirsty or dehydrated after a session, which is normal.

Bottom line: staying hydrated is always a good habit, and after a massage is as good a time as any to build it.

In winter a lot of clients like to keep their socks on so keep this in mind if you get cold feet. If the massage therapist needs to remove them this will be discussed at the time.

The massage is mostly done with oil, so please if it is a $1000 shirt, consider wearing something else after the massage.

Similar to after strength training or sport, some muscle tenderness after a remedial massage is normal. It's part of your body's natural healing and inflammation response. This usually settles within 24 hours, though it can take up to 48 hours after deep tissue work. Where possible, a bit of light activity like a walk a few hours later can help get blood flowing and ease that soreness along.

Yes, if requested.

I can work with it as long as there is some level of touch allowed. For some people they preferred massage over clothes which is fine, just let me know before.

You, the client, is in control, and we will along the way, suggest certain adjustments to make. It is up to the client to consent or not, and we follow what the client wishes.

Yes. For three reasons:

1. our association has it in their Code of Conduct which we all sign onto
2. we have to tuck the towels in somewhere
3. consistancy across all clients helps all clients feel safe, not just women. Many guys are reticent to be massaged by a male.

Yes. Every client is different, and neurodivergent clients are no exception. At the end of the day, you've got a body that's tight, working hard, and looking to move better or feel less pain. This is same as everyone else who walks in. What changes is how we communicate and set up the session to suit you, and I'm happy to adjust lighting, music, or how we talk through the treatment to make it comfortable.

It won't come up in conversation if you don't mention it.

It all depends what intent you put into it. Most, if not all, organisations slot massage into wellness, and usually pay for one day per year, say, around RU OK Day.

For those who use it strategically and look for outcomes, they can budget for more massage during the year. Particuarly for events that have an impact on the mental health and productivity of the employees. For example, performance reviews, large meetings, talking to investors.

Yes.

Please notify us at least 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This helps us accommodate other clients and maintain our scheduling commitments.
