Is the 44-minute drive from Gunning practical for regular treatment?

It's on the longer side, so we usually plan Gunning appointments every three to four weeks rather than weekly, timed to a commute day toward Goulburn or Canberra if that suits your schedule.

What funding can Gunning patients use for remedial massage?

Private health extras cover, a DVA card, or an NDIS plan that includes remedial massage. There's no Medicare rebate for this service, so it's worth checking your cover before booking.

Can I claim remedial massage on private health?

If your extras cover includes remedial massage and your therapist has a provider number with your fund, yes — we can process the claim on the spot with HICAPS where the fund allows it. Massage isn't covered by Medicare, but it can be funded through DVA or NDIS in the right circumstances.

How is remedial different from a relaxation massage?

Different purpose. Technique is chosen for what the assessment finds, pressure is matched to the tissue, the work targets a specific area, and the goal is a real change in tightness, range, or pain. Registration with a recognised national body is the standard for the field.

Local care

Remedial massage for Gunning residents.

Plenty of Gunning residents split their week between two directions — a commute toward Goulburn or Canberra, and grazing or farming work on the family property. That combination tightens the neck, shoulders and lower back from different angles: hours in the car on one side, lifting and yard work on the other.

The drive in is about 44 minutes via the Hume Motorway, around 52 kilometres — the longer end of what we'd call workable, so we help Gunning patients plan a program that doesn't demand weekly visits. Older townsfolk in the area also come in for muscle tightness around long-standing joint stiffness. We assess what's driving the pain, choose pressure for the tissue in front of us, and aim for a measurable shift in tightness and range each visit.
