Q. What is remedial massage? How different from
other massage?
The aim of remedial massage is to identify the
cause of one’s pain to ensure quick, effective and long lasting results.
During the remedial massage consultation, the therapist employs not only
massage but also other manipulation techniques such as stretching,
corrective exercise and trigger point therapy. The remedial massage can
be tender as it works on deep core muscles as well as trigger points
(often described as “deep knot” in muscles).
Relaxation massage aims to relax your body by using gentle massage strokes. Relaxation
massage is not as effective as remedial massage to eliminate pain, to
prevent injuries and to recover quickly after vigorous exercises.
Q. I still feel pain/stiff after massage.
A. The chronic musculoskeletal condition needs
on-going attention. The effect of remedial massage may appear
within 2-3 days.
Q. I had a massage and I felt even worse
afterwards.
A. Massage causes the muscles to release toxins
that has built up within the cells. The released toxin will then go back into the
system. That is why you feel sick the next day. This is a quite normal
and common reaction. You should feel a lot better within 2-3 days after
all the toxins are out of the body. To fasten the process and reduce the
flu- like symptoms, drink a plenty of water to flush the toxin out of
the system.
Q. Do you have Eftpos/HICAP facility?
A. No. We do not have Eftpos, HICAP or Health Point
facility at the moment. Full fee must be made by Paypal or Credit card.
Q. Why can't I have a
massage at upstairs?
Our massage therapists are unable to carry the
massage table upstairs because the massage table is very heavy and
bulky. It can also cause damage on your stairs, walls, furniture and the
massage table. Even you have a family member that might be willing
to assist the therapist to carry the table, we will not take a risk. It
is not safe for anyone to carry the massage table on stairs.
Q. Do you do deep tissue massage?
A. Yes. The remedial massage therapists employ a
range of deep tissue massage techniques.
Q. I do not like deep tissue massage. Can you do
gentle remedial massage?
A. Yes, Remedial massage can be done with gentler
massage strokes as well as other palpation techniques; however, it might
not be as effective as deep tissue techniques.
Q. I want to have just massage. Why do you ask a
lot of questions?
The remedial massage therapist asks you a range of
questions in order to locate a cause of your discomfort. Remedial
massage is recommended to those who have particular musculoskeletal
conditions including muscle stiffness.
If you are after a relaxation massage, please
advise us upon booking. You can switch remedial to relaxation massage
during the treatment; however, you cannot change from relaxation to
remedial massage.
Q. I want to
relax and fall asleep. Why do you massage
so hard?
The remedial massage can be tender as it works on
deep core muscles in order to treat your problem. If you are after
relaxation massage, please advise us upon booking.
Q. Do you do full body remedial massage?
A. No, Remedial massage treatments focus on the
specific muscles that cause your pain or stiffness.
If you are after a
relaxation massage, please advise us upon booking.
Q. I am pregnant. Can you massage pregnant women?
A. Yes. Pregnant women can receive massage after
their 1st trimester as long as not having any complications
and any issues in the previous pregnancies. The pregnant women can
receive massages up to due date and beyond.
