Choose up to 2hrs for a deep Reiki Massage appointment.

Combining guided meditation, Swedish massage and Reiki creates a deeply relaxing experience.

With my own created meditations, I guide you into relaxation with calming visualisations of your Chakras. We then move slowly into Swedish massage techniques, Reiki healing and universal guidance.

This combination helps relieve physical discomfort, supports emotional and spiritual healing, and aims to leave you feeling rejuvenated and balanced.

In Depth
During your Reiki Massage, my custom Reiki and chakra meditations help you deeply relax and balance your energy centres.

First, I guide you through visualisations aiming to help clear your mind and release stress. Then, as I work on each chakra, I use affirmations and imagery to align and balance your energy, promoting overall well-being.

While performing Reiki massage, the meditation enhances the flow of universal life force energy, supporting your mind and body's natural healing processes.

The meditations aim to enhance your treatment.

Usui Reiki, developed by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s, is a healing technique I use to channel universal life force energy and enhance your physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

By using hands-on or near-body methods, I aim to help reduce your stress, relieve pain, and support your body's natural healing abilities.

This technique aims to balance your body's energy, promote relaxation, and improve your overall well-being.

In my Reiki massage I incorporate Swedish massage techniques, I focus on enhancing your circulation and relaxation.

I use gentle, long strokes called effleurage to warm up your muscles, kneading movements known as petrissage to ease muscle tension, rhythmic tapping called tapotement to invigorate your muscles, deep circular strokes known as friction to break down muscle knots, and gentle vibration or shaking to help you relax.

I typically use oils or lotions to ensure that my movements are smooth and effective.

Kate and Mack at Macks Massage Albany offer specialised remedial, relaxation, and reiki pregnancy massage.

They provide expert care tailored to the unique needs of expectant mothers, focusing on comfort, pain relief, relaxation, and energy realignment during pregnancy.

Their treatments support the physical and emotional wellbeing of pregnancy in a safe, nurturing environment.

Remedial massage for pregnancy involves specialised massage techniques designed to safely relieve discomforts associated with pregnancy while supporting overall wellbeing.

Key Benefits:
- Eases common pregnancy pains such as back, neck, shoulder, and sciatic nerve pain by relaxing muscle tension and improving circulation.

- Reduces swelling in legs and feet by enhancing lymphatic drainage.

- Promotes better sleep and reduces anxiety through relaxation and release of calming hormones.

- Improves posture and flexibility important for supporting the growing baby.

- Provides natural pain relief and supports emotional wellbeing affected by hormonal changes.

Safety and Techniques:
- Typically most safe after the first trimester due to early pregnancy risks; professional therapists use gentle pressure and avoid certain pressure points.

- Pregnant clients are positioned comfortably, usually side-lying with supportive pillows to avoid pressure on the abdomen and major blood vessels.

- We adjust methods for each stage of pregnancy, focusing on gentle, relaxing strokes and avoiding deep tissue pressure.

Pregnancy remedial massage is a valuable self-care option when performed by skilled therapists trained in prenatal care, providing safe relief and support throughout pregnancy.

Having remedial massage before a chiropractic appointment is recommended because it prepares the body by releasing muscle tension and breaking down adhesions in soft tissues. This relaxation of muscles around the joints makes it easier for the chiropractor to perform precise and effective adjustments without encountering resistance or tightness that can limit movement.

Remedial massage also improves circulation and lymphatic drainage, promoting tissue health and reducing inflammation, which can help reduce pain and stiffness ahead of the chiropractic treatment.

By softening the muscles and fascia, remedial massage facilitates better joint mobilization, helping the chiropractor achieve optimal alignment and enhancing overall treatment outcomes. This combination supports a more comfortable and efficient healing process for the client

Musculoskeletal Assessments

Mack and Kate conduct musculoskeletal assessments because it allows them to thoroughly understand each client’s unique muscle and joint issues.

This helps them identify the causes of pain, tension, or movement restrictions so they can tailor their treatment specifically to the client’s needs.

By doing this, they ensure their remedial massage is not just symptomatic relief but a targeted approach.

The assessment also enhances safety and effectiveness by guiding which techniques to use and when a referral to other health professionals might be necessary.

In short, Mack and Kate do this to provide the best personalised care and optimise client outcomes.

Myofascial release in remedial massage is a hands-on therapy that uses gentle, sustained pressure applied to the body’s fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs—to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and restore mobility.

This technique targets areas of restriction within the fascial system, which can become tight due to injury, poor posture, illness, or emotional stress.

Why the move:
- Tyro and Cliniko software files are stored in an Australian cloud base which requires them to comply with the Australian privacy, cyber and security acts.

- Tyro allows us to make instant health fund claims at your appointment and you only pay the gap for at least a quarter of health funds more are being added. This is a ground breaking competitor of hicaps.

- Cliniko has allowed us to introduce longer appointments available for online bookings that allows an even balanced schedule for the massage therapist.

- Cliniko allows for more efficient and detailed clinical recording and communication with physios, chiros and OTs etc.
