Pain relief through massage
SERVICES
Welcome to Magic Hands Massage
Are you suffering from neck or back pain?
Is stress or tension causing you physical discomfort?
Do you get headaches or migraines?
Do you have trouble sleeping?
Do you have a sports or repetitive strain injury?
Do you have a problem with your posture?
Would you like to feel pampered and spoilt?
If so, a Remedial or Relaxation Massage can help you.
It is my mission at Magic Hands Massage to provide pain management, stress reduction, and a sense of well being through massage built upon a foundation of confidentiality, trust and professionalism.
I specialize in deep tissue massage delivered with a compassionate touch. I firmly believe that massage, whether used as preventative medicine, or in conjunction with more traditional forms of healing, can allow you to progress to higher levels of physical and emotional well being. Massage therapy gives the body a chance to release stress, pain and emotional fatigue.

** Outside these hours at my home clinic in Elsternwick by mutual arrangement. **
An integrated massage session might consist of the following techniques: Swedish or Relaxation Massage, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy or Sports Massage.
How long to book for is entirely up to you. For your first session, I recommend at least 45 minutes. This will give me enough time to assess your needs. After that, if you have a specific area you want me to work on, 30 minute sessions will probably be sufficient.However, if you have limited time or budget, an initial session of 30 minutes will still be beneficial. A full body massage will take an hour
For your first session, please arrive 5-10 minutes before your scheduled time to allow for filling in forms, etc.
Mobile massage
If you prefer a massage in the luxury of your own home, I will come to you. I bring the massage table, towels and oils on my bike. All you need to supply is a suitably sized room for me to work in.
What to Expect
At your first session, you will be asked to fill out a short form with your contact details, brief medical history and reasons for seeking a massage. I then may ask you some questions concerning your physical condition, life style, stress level and what specific need you would like addressed in your massage session. If you are experiencing pain or limited movement in any way, I may ask you to demonstrate how much movement you have.
Most importantly, this is to ensure that no conditions are present which rule out massage therapy due to health risks. In the unlikely event that this occurs, you wil not be charged for the session.
Secondly, I need to know what your needs are regarding massage therapy and we both need to be clear of your goals and expectations for the session.
Finally, the information you provide will enable me to determine which techniques to use and how to structure the session.
You will then be asked to remove clothing; how much to remove depends on the parts of the body to be massaged. I will leave the room to provide you with privacy while you get undressed. You should only take off as much as you are comfortable with. Towels will be provided for draping and only the part of the body being massaged will be uncovered. I may ask you to turn over or change position during your massage. If so, I will hold up a towel as a screen ensuring that your privacy is always respected.
The massage will take place on a padded massage table. Expect a peaceful or comfortable environment for your massage. I usually play some relaxing music during the massage. If you don't like the music, ask me to change it or turn it off. Alternatively, feel free to bring in a CD of your own which I will be happy to play for you.
I will use a neutral massage oil extracted from sunflower seeds. If you have an allergy or some other reason for me not using this oil, it's important to let me know before the massage starts. I can massage without oil through a towel if necessary.
Do not feel obligated to talk during your massage session. If you want to talk, that's fine but it's equally fine if you don't want to. I may ask you some questions about the pressure I am applying. On no account should you feel pain during a massage. I do not subscribe to the 'no pain, no gain' theory. While a little discomfort is acceptable, pain isn't. If the pressure is too much, you must tell me and I will modify my technique.
If, at any time, something doesn't feel comfortable or right to you, or there is something else you don't like, ask me to stop.
Once the massage is complete, I will leave the room while you get dressed. I may recommend some stretching exercises to you. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
While massage is beneficial on many levels, it cannot work miracles. You should feel the benefits after just one massage but it may take several sessions for all of your goals to be realised.
