Question 1

Do I need a referral for remedial massage in Botany ?

Accepted Answer

No referral is needed to book remedial massage with our Botany team — you can book directly online or by phone. If you're claiming through private health insurance, NDIS, WorkCover, DVA, or TAC, no referral is required to get started either.

Question 2

What's the difference between remedial massage and a relaxation massage?

Accepted Answer

Remedial massage is a clinical, targeted treatment used to assess and treat musculoskeletal pain, tension, and dysfunction — not just general relaxation. Our Botany ek remedial massage therapists use techniques such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, dry needling, and cupping, often working alongside corrective exercise advice. While it can be deeply relaxing, the goal is therapeutic: identifying the cause of your pain or tightness and treating it directly.

Question 3

What conditions can remedial massage help with in Botany?

Accepted Answer

Our Botany remedial massage therapists treat a wide range of presentations, including chronic muscle tension, lower back and neck pain, headaches and migraines, postural strain from desk-based work, sporting injuries, delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), repetitive strain injuries, and stress-related tension. If you're not sure whether remedial massage is the right fit for what you're experiencing, our team can help you decide.

Question 4

Is remedial massage covered by private health insurance?

Accepted Answer

Most private health insurance funds with extras cover include remedial massage when performed by a qualified, registered therapist. You can claim on the day using our on-site HICAPS terminal. Your out-of-pocket cost will depend on your fund and level of cover — if you're unsure, check with your fund or ask our Botany team before your appointment.

Question 5

Does NDIS cover remedial massage?

Accepted Answer

Remedial massage may be a funded support under the NDIS where it relates to your stated goals, typically under Capacity Building or Core Supports depending on your plan. Funding can be accessed if you are plan-managed or self-managed. Please note, we do not accept agency-managed plans. Speak with your Support Coordinator or our team if you're unsure how this fits your plan.

Question 6

How often should I get a remedial massage?

Accepted Answer

This depends on what you're managing. For general muscle maintenance and tension relief, many clients find a session every four to six weeks effective. If you're working through a specific injury, chronic pain, or high training loads, your therapist may recommend more frequent sessions initially, tapering off as things improve. Your Botany therapist will recommend a plan suited to your goals at your first appointment.

Question 7

What should I expect at my first remedial massage appointment in Botany?

Accepted Answer

Your initial appointment includes a discussion of your goals, relevant medical history, and the areas you'd like addressed, followed by a hands-on assessment and treatment. Your therapist may use a combination of deep tissue work, myofascial release, stretching, and other techniques based on what your body needs. You'll leave with an understanding of what was found and any self-care or follow-up recommendations.

Question 8

Can remedial massage help with sports injuries and recovery?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Remedial massage is widely used to support sports performance and recovery — helping manage delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), reduce the risk of overuse injuries, improve flexibility, and support recovery between training sessions or events. Many of our Botany clients combine remedial massage with physiotherapy or exercise physiology for a complete approach to injury management and performance.

Question 9

Is remedial massage safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Many remedial massage techniques can be safely adapted for pregnancy to help manage common discomforts such as lower back pain, hip tightness, and general muscular tension. Let your Botany therapist know if you are pregnant when booking so they can tailor positioning and technique appropriately.

Question 10

Do you offer dry needling or cupping as part of remedial massage in Botany?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our Botany remedial massage therapists are trained in a range of techniques including dry needling, cupping, and myofascial release, which may be incorporated into your session where clinically appropriate. These techniques are used to target specific muscle tension, trigger points, or restricted tissue.
