• The program is available to RMedi8 clients who have accrued five qualifying treatment stamps within twelve months.
• Clients can collect and redeem an unlimited number of treatment stamps.
• Stamps can be earned by attending and paying for a full-price treatment or by referring friends who do the same.
• Each booking, regardless of its length, earns one stamp.
• Clients are responsible for maintaining their own Loyalty Program cards, which should be submitted when paying for a treatment to be updated and stamped.
• Stamps can be redeemed for 30 minutes of extra time on a paid treatment, such as a 60-minute massage for the price of 30 minutes ($75.00) or a 90-minute massage for the price of 60 minutes ($120.00).
• The free 30 minutes may be gifted to friends or family, but only as part of a paid treatment (as above).

I’ve set up an online booking system to make scheduling your appointment as easy and convenient as possible.
You can choose a time that suits you without waiting for a response from me, allowing me to give my full attention to the client I’m currently treating.
The availability shown in the system is designed to be as efficient as possible. However, I can sometimes add extra appointments behind the scenes if there’s room in the schedule. If you need a time that’s not listed, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’ll do my best to accommodate you.

The association that I am registered with (Massage & Myotherapy Australia) has published the following table which indicates the average number of sessions it is expected to take to address particular complaints / conditions.

These are not a strict rules and the number of sessions will vary greatly depending on how you acquired the complaint and how long you have had it for.  For example, if you have never had a neck problem before but could not turn your head this morning when you woke up, then it is likely that a single massage session will help you enormously. 

Of course, many people have a weekly / fortnightly / monthly or every-now-and-then massage just because it makes them feel better generally.

Some health funds elect to provide rebates for Remedial Massage, but only if the Remedial Massage Therapist is registered with them.

To obtain and maintain registration with a Health Fund, the Remedial Massage Therapist must:

• have obtained a specific in-person qualification (not online) through an approved training provider
• be a financial member of an approved members association, with updated details at all times
• have current Public Liability Insurance
• have Senior/Level 2 First Aid
• accrue 40 points (20 hours) of ongoing professional education every year

Remedial Massage is just massage aimed to remediate an issue.  Basically, most massage makes a difference in one way or another, but a trained Remedial Massage Therapist will listen to your needs, assess your body and tailor your massage to provide the most impactful result.

Some examples of the types of issues I help with regularly are:

• Specific pain in the neck / shoulders / elbows / hands usually due to work (ie desk bound, tradie)
• Back pain due to a slip or fall (or just an old mattress)
• Leg pain, usually caused by tight glutes or lower back
• General, all over, aches and pains caused by too much or too little exercise
• Specific long term pain due to prior injuries

 This question is asked a lot by clients who have either endured an extremely painful massage or conversely, clients that don't feel that massage is effective unless it really hurts.

Firstly, massage IS sometimes painful, however it does NOT have to hurt for it to be effective.  In fact, if you have deep muscle pain and I inflict more pain on you, your body is going to be more tense and less relaxed than you started.  If I take my time and coax my way into the pain point your body has time to adjust to the discomfort and muscles will relax.

Some massage therapists do inflict a lot of pain, and they have clients that love it, however I would argue that the immediate results are due to the flood of endorphins that the body provides to deal with the pain.

I ask clients to allow me to work at a maximum level of 7-8 out of 10 on THEIR pain scale.  This allows me enough pressure to be effective where required without overloading their stress response.  Of course, if the problem is overall tightness caused by stress rather than a single tight area, or if my client has a high level of continuous pain, it might be necessary to work a lot lighter than that to allow the entire body to relax.

If you really do want a 'Dr Death' kind of massage and my approach is not working for you after a couple of treatments, just ask and I will happily refer you to someone I know can help.
