What to expect during your massage session
During your session, your massage therapist may discuss with you the areas where you are experiencing discomfort and your relevant health history to ensure your care is tailored to your needs.
Depending on your needs and comfort, massage techniques may range from lighter pressure to deeper soft tissue work. The massage therapist will follow your guidance regarding preferred pressure before commencing the massage and adjust pressure and technique based on your feedback and clinical presentation.
Treatment is guided by your comfort levels, and communication is encouraged during your appointment to ensure the massage remains appropriate and well-tolerated.

Massage North Lakes — FAQs
What happens at an initial oncology massage appointment?
At your initial appointment, your massage therapist will take time to review your medical history, medications, and any current or past cancer-related treatments, including chemotherapy or radiation therapy, where relevant. This helps ensure your care is safe and suitable.
The first 20–30 minutes of your 60-minute initial session are dedicated to this consultation. If appropriate and safe, the remainder of the appointment will involve massage therapy based on your comfort and clinical presentation.
What is a remedial massage, and how can it help?
A remedial massage is a form of massage therapy that focuses on assessing and addressing muscular tension, pain, and movement restrictions within the body. It involves targeted techniques designed to work on specific areas of soft tissue dysfunction.
Remedial massage may help to reduce muscular tightness, support improved mobility and flexibility, assist with recovery from physical strain, and promote overall physical comfort. It is often used to help manage areas of discomfort related to posture, activity, or repetitive use of muscles, depending on individual presentation.
Can a massage therapist help with ongoing muscle tension and pain?
An experienced massage therapist may assist with ongoing muscular tension, stiffness, and general discomfort through tailored massage therapy based on individual needs and presentation. Treatment often focuses on areas of tightness and restricted movement.
Do you offer lymphatic drainage massage?
Yes, lymphatic drainage is available as part of our massage therapy services at Embrace Life. This gentle technique is tailored to individual needs and may be used to support fluid movement, post-treatment recovery, and general physical wellbeing.
Is massage therapy suitable for the whole family?
Massage therapy may be suitable for a wide range of individuals, depending on age, presentation, and requirements. Treatment is always tailored to the person, with techniques and pressure adjusted to ensure care is appropriate and well tolerated.
