Remedial Massage at The Good Joint – Your Questions Answered
What techniques do your remedial massage therapists use?
At The Good Joint, our remedial massage therapists are highly skilled in a variety of evidence-based techniques designed to reduce pain, improve movement, and support long-term recovery. Depending on your individual needs, your session may include deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, dry needling, cupping, joint mobilisation or manual lymphatic drainage. Every treatment is tailored to your body — whether you're recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or simply in need of muscular reset.
How long is a remedial massage appointment?
Appointments are available in 30, 60 or 90-minute sessions, depending on your goals, areas of concern, and preferred level of pressure. Your therapist will guide you on the best session length for your needs.
Can I use private health insurance?
Yes. Remedial massage is covered by most private health funds under extras cover.
We have HICAPS available on-site so you can claim instantly — and only pay the gap on the day.
Do you provide prescriptive exercises as part of treatment?
Yes — when appropriate, your remedial massage therapist may prescribe targeted mobility work, stretches, or strengthening exercises to complement your hands-on treatment. These exercises are designed to extend the benefits of your session, reduce recurrence, and support long-term recovery. It’s not just about feeling better in the moment — we want you moving better between sessions too.
Do your massage therapists work with athletes?
Yes — we’re trusted by Olympians, elite athletes, and weekend warriors alike. Our therapists understand the demands of high-performance sport and recovery, and tailor every treatment to support optimal muscle function, injury prevention, and performance outcomes. Whether you're training hard or just trying to keep up with life, you're in expert hands.
Can I combine remedial massage with other treatments?
Yes — many of our clients see multiple practitioners in one care plan. Remedial massage works beautifully alongside physiotherapy, osteopathy, and chiropractic care. If you're seeing another practitioner at The Good Joint, your massage therapist will have the benefit of working as part of a unified treatment team. That means better communication, faster results, and care that actually makes sense for your body.
