Deep Tissue Massage

You can expect to feel a little sore for the following few days after a deep tissue massage. This can be due to the physical pressure applied to your muscle tissue and the nervous system response to the newly aligned muscle fibres. It should not be any cause for concern.

If at any time you feel that the pressure being applied is beyond your limit to allow the treatment, and you feel that you are enduring the treatment please speak up and let your therapist know. The best results occur at the deepest level that you can allow and any deeper we will be fighting your nervous system which can have adverse effects.

Health fund rebates are available when receiving a deep tissue massage from a qualified remedial massage therapist. Depending on the level of your health cover, you may be eligible to claim money back.

We have a HealthPoint machine (similar to HI-CAPS) available so you can claim on-the-spot, allowing you to only bare the cost of the GAP payment. Please be mindful HealthPoint does not recognise all health fund providers, so it may be necessary for us to generate an invoice for you in which you can manually claim through your health care provider. We can provide your invoice either via email or print you a hard copy.

For an average person dealing with minimal muscle tension and a mild level of stress, scheduling a 60-minute deep tissue massage once or twice a month should be sufficient.

The name deep tissue massage explains itself. Pressure is adjusted to manipulate the deeper tissue layers in the body. Deep tissue layers lay on top of the muscle and the therapist works on these layers, but not so deep as to work all the way through like a sports massage. This type of technique and pressure is still efficient enough to release any newly formed or small knots, and to stretch stiff muscles. Big tension knots are caused by a build up over time, or because of injury and this is a job for a specially trained sports massage therapist.

In order to prevent or improve sports injuries, a sports massage manipulates the soft tissue (muscle) in order to prevent or improve any sports injuries. The sports massage therapist has medical knowledge to efficiently and safely manipulate the muscles making sure to not damage the fragile tissue any further. Always ensure the massage therapist is qualified to perform a sports massage before making a booking.
