Massage at The Physio House

Physiotherapy massage works on muscles and other soft tissues. It may ease muscle tension, provide short-term pain relief and help you move more comfortably. Your physiotherapist assesses your concerns first and explains whether massage suits your needs.

For lasting progress, we may combine hands-on care with strengthening, mobility exercises and changes to activities that aggravate your symptoms. Treatment is guided by your response, rather than a fixed routine.

People often ask about massage for:

• Tight or sore neck and shoulder muscles
• Muscular back aches and stiffness
• Muscle soreness linked to training or physical work
• Discomfort that makes everyday movement harder

These symptoms can have different causes. We assess your movement and health history before recommending care. If another approach is more suitable, we explain your options.

Your appointment starts with a conversation about your symptoms, medical history and goals. We may check your movement and discuss the areas you would like treated.

We explain the proposed treatment and seek your consent. Pressure is adjusted to your comfort; you can ask us to change it or stop at any time. After treatment, we review how you feel and discuss exercises or self-management advice where helpful.

Our clinic has private treatment rooms. You can meet our physiotherapists before arranging your visit.

Contact our team to discuss massage, appointment options and fees. Tell us about any recent surgery, new injury, health condition or medicines that affect bleeding or bruising. We can discuss whether an assessment or medical advice is needed before treatment.

If you plan to use a referral or funding scheme, ask us to confirm the requirements for your appointment. Rebates and funding depend on your individual circumstances.
