What funding options apply for Tarago patients?

We accept private bookings, DVA card holders and NDIS plan-funded clients. There's no Medicare rebate for remedial massage, so confirm your cover level or plan details before your first appointment.

How often should Tarago patients come in given the 42-kilometre drive?

For most people, every three to four weeks holds progress well without becoming a burden. We set a plan at your first visit based on what we find and how the strain is behaving.

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 Tarago residents.

Between farm work and shifts at the wind farm or Woodlawn site, plenty of people around Tarago put their body through repetitive strain that builds over months, not days — hauling, climbing gear, hours on uneven ground. Lower and mid-back tightness is the pattern we see most from this kind of work.

The Goulburn–Tarago Road run is about 39 minutes, roughly 42 kilometres, which is a genuine trip for a spread-out rural community like this one. We plan appointments with that distance in mind rather than expecting weekly drop-ins. Sports recovery also comes up often — local teams and weekend competitors wanting a body that holds up through a season. We work the soft tissue around the joint, not just the surface, aiming for a change in tightness and range you can feel on the drive home.

What we treat

What Tarago patients see us for.

Remedial massage is hands-on work on muscle and the soft tissue around joints, with technique picked for what we find and pressure tuned to the tissue. Our therapists are registered with a recognised national body, and the aim is a measurable change in tightness, range, or pain — not just an hour on the table.
