FAQs
Everything you need to know first
Still unsure about something? Message us on WhatsApp and a therapist will point you to the right treatment.
How can I make a booking?
Appointments can be booked online through Fresha. Select the Footscray branch, choose your preferred treatment and pick an available appointment time.
Do I need an assessment before treatment?
For new clients and new presenting concerns, a consultation and relevant assessment should take place before treatment. Your therapist may ask about your health history, current symptoms and treatment goals before determining an appropriate approach.
Which treatment should I book?
If you are unsure, you do not need to diagnose the problem yourself. Explain your concern to your therapist and, following consultation and assessment, they can determine a suitable treatment within their qualifications and professional scope.
What is the difference between Remedial Massage and Deep Tissue?
Remedial Massage is an assessment-led treatment focused on a particular muscular, soft-tissue or movement concern, using several techniques as needed. Deep Tissue refers to slower, firmer techniques for deeper muscular tightness — and can form part of a remedial treatment when appropriate.
Can I claim Remedial Massage through private health insurance?
Eligible Remedial Massage appointments may qualify for health fund rebates when the treating therapist and booked treatment meet your insurer's requirements. Coverage varies between policies, so confirm eligibility with your health fund.
Does Deep Tissue treatment have to be painful?
No. Deeper treatment may feel firm or intense in tight areas, but excessive pain is not required for an effective treatment. Pressure is adjusted to your comfort and treatment goals.
How long can I book a treatment for?
Treatment duration depends on the service selected and current availability. Different treatments may be available in 30, 45, 60, 90 minute or longer appointments.
