Frequently Asked Questions
1. What should I expect during a remedial massage session?
During a remedial massage session, the therapist will first assess your condition and discuss any areas of concern. The treatment will be tailored to your specific needs, incorporating techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release. Throughout the session, the therapist will check in to ensure the pressure is suitable and that you are comfortable.
2. How many sessions will I need?
The number of remedial massage sessions needed depends on the severity of your condition and your response to treatment. Some people experience noticeable relief after just one session, while others require multiple treatments for sustained improvement. Regular massage therapy can help with long-term pain management, improved mobility, and injury prevention.
3. Is remedial massage covered by health insurance?
Health insurance may cover remedial massage if it is included in your extras policy. Many private health funds offer rebates for treatments performed by qualified therapists, so it is best to check with your insurer to confirm your level of coverage. If eligible, you can claim your rebate after the session through your provider.
4. Can I receive remedial massage if I’m pregnant?
Pregnant women can safely receive remedial massage when performed by a therapist trained in pregnancy massage. Specialised techniques and positioning are used to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. A pregnancy massage can help reduce back pain, improve circulation, and alleviate muscle tension associated with pregnancy.
5. What should I wear to my appointment?
For a remedial massage session, wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is recommended. Depending on the area being treated, the therapist may ask you to partially disrobe, but draping techniques are always used for privacy. If you have specific concerns about clothing, discussing them with the therapist beforehand can help ensure your comfort.
6. Are there any side effects after a remedial massage?
After a remedial massage, some people may experience mild soreness or tenderness, similar to what occurs after exercise. This response is normal and usually subsides within a day or two as your muscles adjust to the treatment. Staying hydrated and engaging in light stretching can help reduce any post-massage discomfort.
7. How do I book an appointment?
Booking an appointment for a remedial massage can be done online, over the phone, or in person at the clinic. The reception team can assist in finding a suitable time and answering any questions about available therapists. Booking in advance is recommended to secure your preferred time slot.
8. What are your operating hours?
Brisbane Livewell Clinic operates during standard business hours on weekdays and has limited hours on Saturdays. Specific opening and closing times may vary between locations, so checking the website or calling the clinic is the best way to confirm availability. Extended hours may be offered for certain services, depending on therapist availability.
9. Do you offer gift vouchers for remedial massage?
Gift vouchers are available for remedial massage treatments and can be purchased online or at the clinic. They make a thoughtful gift for anyone who could benefit from pain relief, relaxation, or improved mobility. A voucher can be used for any remedial massage service and is valid for a specified period.
10. Is parking available at your clinic?
Onsite parking is available for clients visiting Brisbane Livewell Clinic. Spaces may be limited during peak times, so arriving a few minutes early ensures a stress-free start to your appointment. Additional parking options may be available nearby, depending on the clinic location.
11. Can remedial massage help with chronic pain conditions?
Remedial massage is an effective treatment for managing chronic pain conditions such as lower back pain, neck tension, and arthritis. Regular sessions help reduce muscle tightness, improve circulation, and support overall pain relief. A therapist can work with you to develop a treatment plan that best suits your specific needs.
