Frequently Asked Questions

What is sports massage therapy?

Hands-on soft-tissue work that targets tight or overworked muscles to help you move and recover better. It’s used around training and after injury as part of an overall plan.

Not just athletes. It can suit weekend runners, gym-goers and active workers with overuse aches (e.g., back, calves, shoulders). Your clinic offers targeted massages for active bodies.

Evidence suggests sports massage may reduce post-exercise soreness and support recovery, with small–moderate effects in some settings. It can also increase circulation and help relax tight areas. Results vary by person and training load.

Your therapist focuses pressure on key areas to ease tension, aid muscle recovery and reduce stiffness—based on your sport and pain points.

You might feel firm pressure or “good soreness” during/after. Mild, short-lived soreness or bruising can occur—tell your therapist if anything is too uncomfortable.

Allow 30–60 minutes, depending on the area(s) treated and whether it’s a targeted spot or more comprehensive session.

Wear comfortable clothing; bring any recent imaging/reports, a medication list, and (if helpful) a brief training log showing what flares the issue.

It’s often one part of care. Your clinic also provides sports physiotherapy, rehab and sports medicine, which your GP/physio may combine with massage for best results.

Avoid deep massage in the first few days after a significant sprain/strain, as it can worsen swelling—get assessed first. Also tell your therapist about fever, skin infection, open wounds, blood-clot history, or if you’re pregnant.

It depends on your training cycle, workload and symptoms. Many people book around heavy training blocks or when tightness builds; others use it as periodic maintenance. Pre-/post-exercise use is common.

Stay hydrated, do gentle mobility as advised, and ease back into training. Expect mild tenderness for 24–48 hours if pressure was firm.

No—suspected concussion needs medical assessment and no same-day return to play. Massage can be considered later as part of a graded recovery plan under clinician guidance.

Massage is generally privately billed (Medicare rebates don’t usually apply to massage). Please ask reception about current fees before booking.
