Massage That Actually Makes a Difference — Not a Day Spa Rub-Down

Available in Healesville, Seville & Ferntree Gully

Let’s Be Clear: We’re Not a Day Spa — and That’s a Good Thing

If you’re after soft music, scented candles and someone gently massaging oil into your skin…

This is not the place for you.

If you want a massage that:

• releases tight, overworked muscles
• helps your body move better
• eases stress and tension
• supports recovery
• uses real technique, not fluff

…then you’re exactly who we designed our massage appointments for.

Our treatments can absolutely include relaxing elements — but the goal is actual relief and real change, not ambience.

Deep Tissue & Soft Tissue Massage — What We Actually Do

“Deep tissue” doesn’t mean pushing as hard as possible.
It means using firm, targeted pressure to affect the muscles and soft tissues that are actually causing problems.

At Rapid Recovery:

• We identify where your tightness is coming from
• We spend focused time on the areas that need it
• We blend techniques like trigger point, long strokes, stretching and pressure
• We tailor the treatment to your goals and preferred pressure

Soft tissue and deep tissue are basically the same family of treatment — the difference is only how firm you want the pressure.

You’re in control the entire time.

If You Want Pure Relaxation… We’re Probably Not Your Spot

We’re not a luxury spa.
We don’t do cucumber water or whale sounds.

What we do is:

• reduce tension
• ease tightness
• help you unwind physically and mentally
• get rid of that stiff, restricted feeling
• help you move and function better

If you want relaxation with a purpose, you’ll love us.
If you want relaxation as the purpose, a spa will suit you better.

What Massage at Rapid Recovery Helps With

Massage has been used for centuries to support the body — but we focus on the things that actually make a difference in the real world:

• tight, sore, overworked muscles
• back or neck tension
• shoulder tightness
• headaches linked to muscle tension
• post-workout soreness
• desk posture tension
• stress-related tension
• poor sleep from tightness
• feeling stiff or restricted
• general fatigue

And if you’re active, it helps with:

• performance
• recovery
• reducing niggles
• preventing injuries

In short:
If your body feels tight, sore, stressed or “not moving how it should,” we can help.

Pressure: Your Session, Your Way

Everyone likes different pressure.

So instead of guessing, we:

• ask about your pressure preference on your first visit
• check in throughout the treatment
• adjust instantly if you need it lighter or firmer

Whether you like medium, firm, very firm or “please don’t kill me,” we tailor everything to your comfort.

Deep tissue doesn’t mean painful — it means effective.

Remedial Massage includes:

• health fund claimable sessions

Massage (deep or soft tissue):

• not claimable
• still incredibly effective
• perfect for tension, stress and tightness

Unsure what you need?
Ask — we’ll guide you.
