If it is your first visit, you will be requested to arrive 10 minutes early to fill out a Client Intake Form. This allows the massage therapist to be aware of any health concerns you may have.

Reduce stress and more

While remedial massage can be a relaxing experience, it is dependent upon the pressure you can tolerate as to what sensation your body will experience. Remedial massage is a highly skilled technique where the massage therapist can locate the problem area which is causing the pain and discomfort. It is very important to communicate to the therapist when things hurt and if any soreness or pain you experience is outside of your comfort range. There is usually some stiffness or tenderness after a remedial massage, but it should subside within a day or so.

Remedial massage works on localised areas of your body to break down muscle spasms (knot) and soften up the hard tissue to release any stiffness. Regular massage is an effective treatment to bring back muscle strength and tone. Remedial massage helps to relax the muscles, making musculoskeletal adjustment easier.

Physiotherapy is the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of conditions which result in pain, restricted movement, weakness and altered mobility caused by degeneration, illness or accident. Physiotherapists are qualified to use electrotherapy such as TENS and ultrasound. Traction, manipulation and mobilisation of jaw/limb and vertebral joints are also utilised.

Remedial massage therapy is a hands-on treatment to soften tissue and restore function, relieve pain, promote healing and decrease muscle spasms and/or tension to improve physical or athletic performance. Remedial massage stimulates circulation and improves blood flow to the localised area.

Both physiotherapists and remedial massage therapists are able to prescribe strengthening exercises, stretches, balance exercises and postural training.

Many massage therapists recommend clients avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours after a bodywork session.

Strenuous exercise includes activities such as running, high intensity aerobics, weight lifting or power yoga classes.

A remedial massage therapist has completed extensive studies and has a detailed knowledge of the muscular system, the function of the body and most common conditions and treatments for said conditions.

If you have a private health fund, such as HBF, then you may be eligible to claim money back for your remedial massage. Please be aware that at MyoFix Massage you can only claim for remedial massage for health funds where our massage therapists have an approved provider number for you to claim against.

Health Fund rebates are available for remedial massage at MyoFix Massage through a number of health funds, including HBF. 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, thus it may be necessary for us to generate an invoice for you in which you can manually claim through your health care provider at a later time. We can provide your invoice either via email or print you a hard copy.

Yes, at MyoFix our therapists provide a strictly professional only massage service. If the therapist feels that the session has turned sexual for the client, male or female, he/she may stop the session to clarify the client’s intent, and may decide to end the session immediately.
