Remedial Massage Therapy
Targeted treatment. Thoughtful touch.
Real results.
My Approach
No two bodies are the same—and no two sessions should be either.
I tailor each treatment in real time, guided by what I palpate, what you share and how your body responds on the day. Remedial massage at my clinic isn’t about pressing harder—it’s about working with intention. Techniques may include deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, cupping, hot rocks or dry needling—always chosen carefully and used only when clinically appropriate. Depending on your needs, this might look like focused sports massage, gentle support during pregnancy, or rehabilitative care following injury or surgery.
Rather than follow a formula, I work responsively—whether that means softening fascia, addressing nerve tension, or simply allowing your nervous system to decompress.
Your comfort is always prioritised. Pressure, pace and position are adjusted to meet your body with respect—not resistance.

More About Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is a broad and adaptable modality that supports many stages of life, lifestyles and health goals. From active recovery to gentle restoration, treatments are tailored to your needs on the day, often blending techniques across areas like sports massage, pregnancy care, rehabilitation and ongoing maintenance. It’s responsive, individualised care. Never a one-size-fits-all approach.
Sports Massage
This style supports performance, recovery and injury prevention for physically active clients. Whether you're training for an event or a weekend warrior, sports massage targets overworked muscle groups, enhances mobility and reduces post-exercise soreness.
Pregnancy Massage
Gentle and nurturing, pregnancy massage is tailored to support you through each trimester. With specialised positioning and techniques, it can help reduce back pain, swelling, pelvic discomfort and promote relaxation in both body and mind.
Rehabilitation & Recovery
Injuries, surgeries, or chronic issues often need more than rest. Remedial massage can aid recovery by improving circulation, reducing compensatory tension and supporting tissue repair, always matched to your stage of healing.
Ongoing Maintenance
You don’t need to be injured to benefit. Many clients use remedial massage regularly to manage stress, release built-up tension and stay ahead of issues before they escalate. It’s a proactive way to support your body through daily demands, whether that’s parenting, desk work, training or just life.
Think of it like maintaining your car: we routinely service our vehicles, invest in good fuel and address little rattles before they become big problems yet we often neglect the only vehicle we can’t replace: our body. Unlike a car, you don’t get a trade-in option. Prioritising your physical wellbeing isn’t a luxury, it’s a long-term investment in how you move, feel, and live. And let’s be honest, life’s just better when you’re not in pain.
If you’re going to invest in your health, the experience should feel like something special. That’s why I’ve designed my treatment room to be more than clinical—it’s a calm, private sanctuary where everything from the lighting to the curated textures invites you to truly switch off.
Necessary care, delivered with a touch of luxury.

“I'm a 47 year old female who has suffered daily for 16 years with fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. As I've gotten older my muscles have just gotten tighter and my joints stiffer, making easy everyday tasks a challenge. I have seen many physiotherapist over the years but nothing ever changed. That was until I met Ash, words can't describe how much she has helped me. The Dry needling has truly helped me just be able to do tasks around the house without horrible pain. I can't describe the relief I felt in my neck where I am the most sensitive, just fade away with treatment. I am so grateful for what you do and will continue to come as it has helped keep my flare- up's at bay.”
Remedial Massage FAQs - Wondering What to Expect?
-
Remedial massage is ideal for treating muscle tension, pain, and restricted movement. It helps relieve tightness, improve posture, support injury recovery and reduce stress. It’s especially effective for chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain.
-
Remedial massage should never be painful. You might feel some deep pressure in areas of tightness, but it should feel like “good pain” or release — not sharp or uncomfortable. Pressure is always adjusted to suit your body and comfort level.
-
Yes, remedial massage is often covered by private health insurance in Australia when provided by a qualified therapist. HICAPS is available at my clinic, so you can claim on the spot if your fund covers massage.
-
Remedial massage is targeted and therapeutic — designed to treat specific issues like muscle pain, postural tension, or injury. Relaxation massage is more general and soothing. My approach blends both when needed for a more holistic treatment.

That depends on your goals, lifestyle, and how your body responds. Some people feel significant relief after just one session, while others benefit from regular treatments to manage ongoing tension or support long-term recovery. Much like showering, the effects can wear off over time — especially with busy lives, physical work, or stress in the mix. We’ll always reassess together to make sure your treatment plan stays aligned with what you need.

That depends on what you’re working through and how your body holds tension. Some clients come in occasionally when things flare up, while others benefit from consistent care — especially when dealing with chronic pain, postural issues, or stress-related tension. Together, we’ll find a rhythm that suits your goals and helps maintain progress, whether that’s weekly, monthly, or as needed. It’s about working with your body, not pushing it on a schedule that doesn’t fit.
