Can I choose a specific therapist (or gender)?
Generally yes although there may occasionally be some geographical/logistical constraints. Our therapists are listed at "Therapists".
Our philosophy is to match your requirements to the particular skills of our therapists, so whether you want a deep remedial or a relaxing aromatherapy massage will influence the choice of therapist that we recommend to you. The geographical and logistical constraints may enter the equation as our therapists are scattered throughout the Inner West.
Please Note: Given that we provide therapeutic massage services we do not accept bookings from male clients requesting a female therapist with less than 24 hours notice. Thank you for your understanding.

Can I pay by credit card?
Yes you can (although most clients pay cash to the therapist on the day).
We accept credit cards via the PayPal system or we can process credit card payments over the phone. This generally needs to be cleared prior to your massage. Click "here" to pay by PayPal or phone 0421 410057 for more details.

What is your cancellation policy?
We understand that life is unpredictable and personal circumstances can change at short notice. We prefer not to charge a cancellation fee if there is no impact on the time/scheduling of the therapist.
However, we are professional therapists and this is how we earn our living. We reserve the right to charge up to 100% of the fee based on the amount of cancellation notice given and the impact on the therapist(s) involved (for example, travel time/ travel costs/other bookings that have been knocked back).

What happens during an Inner West Mobile Massage?
When our therapist first arrives at your home, you will be asked to fill out a client intake form. This will provide the therapist with the information about you that will enable them to give you the style of massage most appropriate for you. If you have any specific requirements please tell the therapist at the start. eg if your neck is tight you may want more work there. If you prefer a lighter or deeper massage then let that preference be known.
While your filling out the form, the therapist will be setting up the table for your massage. The therapist will then go to a bathroom to wash their hands while you undress to your level of comfort and lie on the table as directed by your therapist. A towel will be provided by the therapist.
The therapist will return to the room when you are under the drape. Your work is done, all you have to do is enjoy and relax! The therapist will undrape the section of body that they will work on first and begin the massage. If you want silence during the massage, your therapist will respect that or you may want music to be playing.
When the therapist finishes with one area of the body, they will redrape that part and undrape the next section to be massaged. When the massage is over, the therapist will again leave the room so that you can get dressed again in private.
During the massage ,please don't hesistate to ask your therapist questions about anything which you're unsure of or any concerns you may have.

We also offer home massage packages to companies keen to provide their employees with a corporate reward - a unique massage incentive!

Do we provide massages under Workers Compensation?
No. Whilst we have a therapist who is Work Cover accredited, because of the Work Cover payment system and rates for massages, unfortunately it is not economic or time effective for us to provide mobile massages under Worker's Comp.

General massage questions
When should I get a massage?
Any time is a great time for a massage! You do not need to wait until you're injured or stressed. Indeed, massage is extremely effective as a preventative maintenance for a person's body and mind. So there is no need to wait until your headache starts to pound or your back hurts from overwork or stress.
A regular massage can be a great way to deal with stress and prevent it from causing pain or discomfort to your body.
TOP
When should I not get a massage?
There are contraindications for receiving a massage. These include
Fever
Any infectious disease
Systemic infections
Severe cold/flu
Fracture, bleeding, burns
Acute injuries
First trimester of pregnancy
Cancer
Open skin lesions or sores
Blood clots
Generally the guidelines are straightforward - the massage therapist does not want to make any underlying medical condition worse and you don't want to pass anything contagious to your therapist. Some women find that having a massage during menstruation (the first two days of the period) can make flow heavier.
If you are unsure then please check with your doctor before commencing massage therapy.
