Your first massage with Justin

It’s okay to feel unsure about booking a massage. You might be wondering whether it will hurt, what you’ll need to take off, or whether your aches are “enough” to ask for help. You’re welcome to bring those questions with you.

Justin offers remedial massage in Ranelagh, near Huonville. You don’t need to be an athlete, have a diagnosis or know the names of any techniques.

We start by talking

We’ll talk about what brings you in, what feels uncomfortable and what you’d like from the session. Let Justin know about injuries, health conditions or anything that could affect your comfort. You can explain things in your own words.

Together, you’ll agree on the areas to work on and the approach to take. A massage can be about a particular sore spot, recovery after activity, or simply having some time to rest.

You choose the pressure

Remedial massage doesn’t have to mean a hard massage. Pressure is adjusted to suit you. Tell Justin if something feels too strong, unpleasant or simply isn’t what you want.

You can ask for lighter pressure, skip an area, take a break or stop the session at any time. Agreeing to a massage doesn’t mean agreeing to every technique.

Clothing, towels and privacy

Wear comfortable clothes. Before treatment, talk with Justin about what you’re comfortable removing or keeping on. Towels cover you during the massage, with only the area being worked on uncovered.

If you’d prefer to stay clothed, say so before the session so you can discuss suitable options together. There’s no need to shave, change your body or apologise for how you look.

A place to feel at ease

People of different body sizes, genders, backgrounds and activity levels are welcome. You can ask for a quiet session or talk things through. You don’t need to make conversation to be polite.

The home studio has a toilet available for clients but no dedicated wheelchair access. If touch makes you anxious, you have sensory preferences, or you need help accessing the clinic, contact Justin before booking. You can discuss what would help and whether the space and treatment suit your needs.

Choosing a session and checking prices

The booking page shows the available appointment types, lengths, prices and times. If you’re unsure which to choose, ask Justin. You can also read the massage FAQs, including information about health fund rebates and cancellations.
