Choosing a Massage Appointment

Choose the appointment that matches your needs

Healing Arts Studio’s booking system includes several massage categories. Selecting the right category gives you relevant appointment lengths and practitioner choices. If you are unsure about clinical suitability, ask your treating health professional and therapist before booking.

Remedial massage

Choose remedial massage for the general remedial appointment options. New clients should start with the initial consultation rather than assume a shorter follow-up provides the same assessment time.

Lymphatic drainage massage

Use the lymphatic drainage category for those appointments. If your enquiry relates to diagnosed lymphoedema, surgery or unexplained swelling, confirm the appropriate care with your treating team and the therapist’s relevant training.

Pregnancy massage

Choose the pregnancy massage category and discuss your stage of pregnancy and suitability before treatment. Your doctor or midwife can advise whether massage is appropriate for you.

Appointment length and practitioner choice

Longer sessions are not automatically better. Ask which duration suits the proposed appointment. Read Maddy McCarty’s and Scott Oram’s profiles and check which practitioners are offered for the selected service.

Questions worth asking

• Is this an initial or follow-up appointment?
• Does the therapist offer the type of care I am looking for?
• What should I disclose or bring?
• What will it cost, and does my health fund cover this practitioner and appointment?
• How do I request a change to pressure, positioning or technique?
