Frequently Asked Questions

​

​

What services do you offer at Paddington Massage Studio?

​

We offer tailored soft tissue and movement therapies, including Remedial Massage, Myotherapy, Sports Massage, Dry Needling, Myofascial Cupping, and Kinesiology Taping. Every session begins with an assessment of your pain, tension, or movement restrictions so we can combine the right techniques for your body.

​

Can I claim my session on private health insurance?

​

Yes. We have HICAPS available on-site, allowing you to process health fund claims on the spot. Please bring your physical or digital health fund card to your appointment.

​

What is the difference between Remedial Massage and Myotherapy?

​

• Remedial Massage: Focuses on releasing knotted, tense, or damaged muscles using deep tissue, trigger point release, and stretching to relieve pain and stress.

• Myotherapy: Focuses on evaluating and rehabilitating musculoskeletal pain and movement dysfunction. It incorporates advanced manual therapies, joint mobilisation, dry needling, and corrective exercises.

​

Will Dry Needling or Myofascial Cupping cost extra?

​

No. Therapies like Dry Needling, Cupping, and Kinesiology Taping are integrated into your treatment session based on your initial assessment and treatment goals at no added charge.

​

Is Cupping Therapy painful, and will it leave marks?

​

Cupping is generally not painful and creates a suctioning sensation on the soft tissue to boost circulation and ease tight fascia. It is common to see circular red or purplish discolouration post-treatment, which usually fades within a few days.

​

What should I expect during my first visit?

​

Your therapist will discuss your medical history, current pain points, and physical goals. We will then perform a brief assessment before starting your treatment. You will always be properly draped with towels for privacy and comfort throughout the session.

​

Is it normal to feel sore after a treatment?

​

Mild muscle tenderness can occur for 24 to 48 hours after deep soft tissue work, sports massage, or dry needling as your body adapts and heals. Staying hydrated after your session helps ease post-treatment soreness.
