New to massage

Your body is designed to thrive.
It talks when it isn't.

Most people book a massage because something has been nagging at them for a while — a shoulder, a lower back, a stress load that stopped being temporary. That's the right reason to come.

What brings people to us

What people usually bring us.

Our therapists work most often with these — and if something here sounds like your week, you're in the right place.

  • Back and neck pain

    The ache you've started planning your day around.

  • Sciatica

    That line of pain down the leg that turns sitting into a negotiation.

  • Stress, anxiety, and burnout

    Running on adrenaline so long you've forgotten what rested feels like.

  • Sports injuries and recovery

    Wanting to train again without paying for it for three days.

  • Chronic pain

    Being told the scans look fine while you still hurt.

  • Healthy aging, mobility, and wellness

    Wanting the next twenty years to feel like the last twenty.

Not sure whether we're the right fit? That's what the first conversation is for — and if we can't help, we'll say so and point you somewhere that can.

What to expect

A conversation first. Then hands on.

Your therapist starts by talking through your health history, the areas that are bothering you, and what you want out of the session. They may briefly check your posture, range of motion and muscle tension so the work is tailored rather than generic.

From there they'll use a mix of strokes, pressure levels and techniques to address the tension you came in with — checking in regularly so the pressure stays where you want it.

Afterwards, you'll get a treatment plan built around your needs, an explanation of which techniques were used and why, and any lifestyle recommendations that would help it hold.

Techniques we work with

  • Fascia work
  • Positional trigger point release
  • Swedish
  • Deep tissue

What massage helps with

  • Relieve pain, tension, stress and stiffness
  • Improve mood and sleep
  • Increase motion and flexibility
  • Improve blood and lymph flow
  • Reduce inflammation, scar tissue, adhesions and spasms

What makes this different

This isn't a spa massage.

Our massage therapists work alongside the rest of the practice to get at the root cause of your symptoms, not just the surface of them. The treatment plan is built to benefit your healing potential, and it sits alongside the other work we do rather than separately from it.

Massage and acupuncture together honour your body and help it remember how to function naturally again.

From $110 per session with our memberships, or $160 for longer sessions. Ask the front desk about membership plans.

Before your first massage

The questions we hear most.

Answered by our therapists. If yours isn't here, ask when you book — or when you're on the table.

How often should I have a massage?

Biweekly, every three weeks, or every four — it really depends on the person and how severe things are. If you're in a lot of pain or discomfort, once a week can help. But remember, the goal isn't just temporary relief: it's supporting your long-term health through a plan that fits you.

What's the difference between Swedish and deep tissue?

Swedish is generally a full-body massage with lighter pressure — it encourages blood flow, relieves stress and pain, and can re-energise you. Deep tissue applies more pressure to release tension, knots and adhesions in muscle and fascia, and usually focuses on one or two areas of discomfort rather than the whole body.

Is it OK to ask for more or less pressure?

Please do. We might occasionally say no to more if it could hurt you or the therapist, but we want you to get the massage you came for. Just remember that too much pressure can have the reverse effect — it makes you tense up, hold your breath, or guard your muscles, which is the opposite of what we want. More isn't always better.

Is it normal to fall asleep?

Most people usually do. You won't be the first and certainly not the last. We're used to it.

Should I take off my underwear?

You can undress to your level of comfort. We generally have clients remove everything except underwear, and you're covered throughout.

When should I not have a massage?

There's a real list, and we'd rather you had it: when you're unwell or feverish, with contagious skin conditions, rashes, burns or open sores, with infections, under the influence, immediately after major surgery, with metastatic cancer, pitting edema, numbness, severe headaches, sepsis, advanced heart or kidney disease, advanced circulatory complications, severe atherosclerosis, or organ failure. If you're unsure, check with your doctor.

Book your visit

A first visit takes one conversation.

We'll talk through what you're feeling, what you've tried, and which modality fits. New patients are welcome.
