Question 1

What is Remedial Massage and how does it differ from a regular massage?

Accepted Answer

Remedial massage is a clinical approach aimed at treating specific musculoskeletal issues. Unlike a general relaxation massage, our therapists assess your condition and use targeted techniques like trigger point therapy and myofascial release to address pain, injury, and dysfunction.

Question 2

Does Remedial or Deep Tissue massage have to be painful to work?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. While some techniques involve deep pressure that can be intense (often described as 'good pain'), we always stay within your comfort levels. Effective treatment requires your body to remain relaxed, not tensing up against the pressure.

Question 3

What are the benefits of Functional Cupping?

Accepted Answer

Functional Cupping uses suction to lift the skin and fascia away from the muscle. This improves blood flow, reduces inflammation, and creates space for the tissues to glide more easily, making it highly effective for chronic tightness and recovery.

Question 4

Do you offer private health fund rebates?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Amistana Wellness is fully registered with all major Australian health funds. Depending on your level of Extras cover, you can typically claim a rebate for your remedial massage sessions. Funds include Bupa, Medibank, HBF, HCF, NIB, and AHM.

Question 5

What is Facial Lymphatic Massage?

Accepted Answer

Facial Lymphatic Massage is a gentle, rhythmic technique designed to stimulate the drainage of lymph fluids from the face and neck. It is excellent for reducing puffiness, clearing sinus congestion, and promoting a brighter, more rejuvenated complexion.

Question 6

Is there anything I should do to prepare for my session?

Accepted Answer

We recommend arriving well-hydrated and wearing comfortable clothing. It is best not to have a heavy meal immediately before your treatment. During the session, your therapist will discuss your goals and any areas of concern.

Question 7

What should I expect after my treatment?

Accepted Answer

It is common to feel deeply relaxed or even slightly sleepy. Some people experience post-massage soreness for 24–48 hours, similar to the feeling after a workout. Drinking plenty of water and taking a warm bath can help the body's recovery process.

Question 8

How often should I get a remedial massage?

Accepted Answer

This depends on whether you are managing a specific injury or seeking maintenance. For chronic issues, a series of weekly or fortnightly sessions often yields the best results. For general wellness, a monthly session is a great way to prevent tension build-up.
