what is the difference between a massage and a remedial massage?

The first written records of massage date back to 2700 BC. Written in history through China, Egypt and India there are many forms of massage! The ART started becoming a SCIENCE after Swedish Massage was instituted and research began getting published. Remedial Massage, Clinical Massage, Medicinal Massage and Myotherapy all fall within the category of Allied Health or Ancillary Health (often an adjunct in serious cases for Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Osteopaths) that looks to help dysfunction in a clinical setting within a biomedical framework (physiology, pathology and pathophysiology)

The extra training and requirements allow us to make calls on safety and effectiveness of a treatment and decisions around the techniques and treatment methods for every individual

Why get a massage at betteru?

Our massages are designed specifically for the client we are seeing. To deliver the best massage - we assess, then listen and take in to account your your goals for the treatment and if you want, we can explain what we are doing. We like to work within what we call the “good pain”, working at a deeper level without the unnecessary pain.

Is a BetterU massage painful?

Ever heard of “Good pain”? Our treatments are tailored to the individual so we might require using a technique that might have increased sensation but will advise when that is and whether you prefer that technique or use a different technique that is within your range of discomfort.

Initially, it may be painful as we work on releasing contracted structures. Just let your therapist know and we will adjust the pressure.

How long do I need to book for?

For initial consultations we recommend at the very least 45m to 60m treatments. From there your therapist will assess whether the issue is a small one and requires only 30m follow ups or if it a more complex issue that requires more time.
As a general rule, if you are wanting to make a change come back within a week and a half. If you are looking to keep a change, anywhere from 2-6 weeks is good to hold a change that has been made. Your therapist will be able to give you more exact time frames once you visit.

What does a treatment cost?

All of our pricing is displayed on our online booking platform here and varies depending on location and how long you are looking to book for treatment.

We don’t have access to your health fund plans so we can’t tell you how much you will get rebated by your health fund. Best to check what level of coverage you have with your insurance.
