Our Massage Services
We offer a wide range of massage therapies across two categories: Remedial (eligible for rebates) and Relaxation. Our Massage Therapists Brisbane have many years of training in these therapies to help their clients relax, recover from injury, reduce painful areas and improve your wellbeing.
If you are looking for personalised remedial massage services, our Massage Brisbane team is here to help with tailored Wellness Plans and empathetic massage therapies.
Remedial or Health-Related Massage (Eligible for Rebates)
1. Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage at Brisbane Livewell Clinic targets specific areas of dysfunction, pain or imbalance. It’s suitable for injury recovery, posture correction and chronic pain.
Note: this is not a full-body massage but focuses on your specific pain or injury.
Dry Needling or Cupping are available as an add-on to your Remedial Massage if required. Both Dry Needling and Cupping are tools that can help release deeper tension and promote healing.
Our therapists treat pain and muscle dysfunction by actively providing therapeutic services, and are experienced in treating musculoskeletal issues using deep tissue massage techniques, so ask them if you are looking for deeper pressure. The techniques involved in remedial massages include a variety of methods tailored to address different conditions, improve circulation, and target muscle tension for optimal results.
2. Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage supports the changing body of expectant mothers, easing discomfort and improving mobility. It helps reduce physical discomfort during pregnancy. This massage supports mobility, relieves fluid retention and gives stress relief.
Note: Out of caution, Rainie does not provide Pregnancy Massage in the first trimester.
3. Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic Drainage Massage, often called Lymph Massage or Lymph Drainage Massage, encourages healthy circulation and detoxification through gentle rhythmic pressure. This is a very light pressure massage involving circular motions using the fingertips of the Massage Therapist. It’s incredibly relaxing with amazing health benefits as well.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage uses light strokes across the skin to stimulate the lymph nodes and promote lymph flow and detoxification. This is a full-body, gentle-pressure massage with a calming effect on the nervous system and requires special training – not many Massage Therapists in Brisbane provide this valuable therapy.
4. Indian Head Massage with Remedial Neck & Shoulders
Indian Head Massage targets tension in the scalp, head, neck, and shoulders. It helps relieve mental fatigue, migraines and neck tightness as well as headaches, jaw tightness and mental clarity. The most relaxing massage many of our patients have ever experienced.
Note: This involves the use of natural oils by your Massage Therapist on your scalp (that may get into your hair) – please consider an afternoon or evening consultation so you can shower at home afterwards.
5. Myofascial Release Therapy (Myofascial Massage)
Myofascial Release Therapy is a hands-on technique that applies sustained pressure to the fascia — the connective tissue surrounding muscles — to relieve restriction and improve movement. This massage treatment is especially effective for supporting postural imbalances, chronic tension and areas of limited mobility.
Specialised training is required and not many Massage Therapists in Brisbane provide this valuable therapy.
Professional Massage for Relaxation
1. Relaxation Massage
During Relaxation Massage, our Massage Therapist uses gentle, flowing strokes to reduce stress, promote a sense of calm and support nervous system regulation. This style is ideal for emotional balance, a calming effect, and a mental reset.
2. Thai Massage
Thai Massage combines massage, acupressure and stretching to increase mobility and energy flow Delivered by Fiona and Rainie, this centuries’ old massage technique is ideal for clients with physical fatigue or tension and who want to improve flexibility and energy balance.
3. Reflexology
Reflexology works on reflex points on the feet, hands, or ears to influence other parts of the body and encourage relaxation. Reflexology is an acupressure therapy that targets pressure points in the feet, hands or ears to influence other parts of the body. It supports relaxation, sleep and emotional balance.
