Therapeutic Massage

Three modalities, one purpose — releasing what your body is holding. Remedial, deep tissue, and hot stone massage, each suited to different needs and different bodies.

Not every body needs the same touch. A chronic postural pattern needs a different approach than a training-heavy week or a nervous system that simply needs to slow down. Our massage therapist will guide you toward the right modality — or you can choose based on what your body is telling you right now.

Remedial Massage

Targeted treatment for pain and dysfunction

Remedial massage works on the cause of pain, not just the symptom. Your therapist assesses the affected area and applies targeted techniques — trigger point therapy, myofascial release, deep tissue work — to restore normal tissue function, reduce referred pain and improve range of movement.

What it supports

Remedial massage is a health-fund recognised modality. Depending on your cover, you may be eligible for a rebate — check with your insurer.
Deep Tissue Massage

Slow, sustained pressure through the full depth of the muscle

Deep tissue massage uses deliberate, unhurried strokes to reach the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It’s not about applying more force — it’s about working slowly enough that the tissue actually releases rather than bracing against pressure. The result is lasting softness rather than surface-level relief.

What it supports

Deep tissue work is effective but demanding on the body — you may feel some tenderness in the day or two after your session as tissue responds. This is normal and typically resolves with hydration and rest.

Hot Stone Massage

Warmth that reaches where pressure alone can’t

Smooth basalt stones heated to a precise temperature are placed on key areas of the body and used as massage tools. The heat penetrates muscle tissue faster and deeper than hands alone, allowing for meaningful release without intense pressure — making it ideal for clients who carry tension but find firm work too much.

What it supports

Deeply warming, calm and restorative. 60 minutes leaves you rested; 90 minutes is a full reset.

Good to know

Massage, answered

How do I choose between remedial, deep tissue and hot stone?
Remedial is the most clinical — ideal if you have a specific complaint, pain pattern, or want to work on a particular area. Deep tissue is for people who hold a lot of tension and respond well to firm pressure — athletes and desk workers often prefer it. Hot stone is best if your body is guarded or you respond to heat — it achieves depth through warmth rather than pressure. Our therapist will also guide you when you book if you’re unsure.
Will it hurt?
Therapeutic massage can involve some discomfort, especially in tight areas — but it shouldn’t feel sharp or alarming. Deep tissue work may leave you tender in the day or two after as tissue responds; this is normal and resolves quickly. Always communicate with your therapist during the session — pressure is always adjustable.
Can I claim on private health?
Remedial massage is a recognised health-fund modality, so you may be eligible for a rebate depending on your level of cover. Deep tissue and hot stone massage are typically treated the same way by most funds. Check with your insurer before booking.
How often should I book?
It depends on what you’re addressing. For acute issues, weekly sessions initially then fortnightly as things improve is common. For maintenance and recovery, once every two to four weeks works well for most people. Your therapist will give you a realistic recommendation after your first session.
Can I combine massage with other Flow Physique treatments?
Yes — massage pairs well with infrared sauna (heat before hands-on work softens tissue significantly) and lymphatic roller massage for drainage and recovery. A membership gives you access to our recovery suite alongside your massage bookings.
