Services
The philosophy of our centre is to provide a haven for relaxation and recovery. It's a place where people unwind and relax by having a massage in the most tranquil environment. To provide a comfortable, safe and secure environment in which specialist massage techniques are delivered by qualified professional therapists on an individual needs basis to clients.
Remedial massage is a holistic therapy. It treats the whole body, identifying and treating the cause of the disorder and not just the symptoms. A variety of techniques are used including deep tissue, trigger point therapy, muscle energy techniques and myofascial release. Remedial massage alleviates the pain and discomfort from physical injury, strain or stress.
Relaxation massage is a smooth, gentle flowing style of massage designed to promote an overall sense of calmness and deep relaxation. It improves circulation, can reduce blood pressure, enhances range of movement, and gives relief from minor muscle tension. Using long full body strokes, this massage will leave you feeling relaxed and re-balanced in mind and body.
Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibres of the muscles, tendons and fascia.
This healing system is derived from the ancient Polynesian methods of restoring balance to the body, mind and soul (Huna). Through this treatment of the physical body, powerful healing is able to take place more quickly and completely on the physical, psychological and spiritual levels. The bodywork has a beautiful way of bringing the joy of life to your body; a feeling of peace to your mind; and a sense of wonder to your soul.

Amazing experience. I went in for a remedial massage, I could barely sit up or walk. Within 10 minutes I was up and moving again, and within a few days fully healed. The kindness and service is impeccable.
I was only in town another week, and one of the staff members kindly leant me her foam roller for my recovery.
Couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you!

I'm a support worker and took a client for a massage today who has mental health, intellectual and physical disabilities. Although I didn't have a massage myself, I was very impressed with how accommodating,… patient, understanding and exceptionally professional Jan was throughout my clients hour long appointment. He even went out of his way to make sure we got to my car okay afterwards. And thank you to the rest of the team for rearranging appointments and areas to make more accessible for my client

I had remedial massage with Monica for a few times. She definitely went way above and beyond. I first went there because of my stiff neck. I sought help from other therapists elsewhere before Monica’s session, but ended up with no signs of improvement. Monica is absolutely the best and exceeds my expectation. She is very patient, caring, attentive, and most importantly professional. She tailored the therapy to my needs and my neck was significantly improved after the session. She also asked for my feedback along the way and adjusted the pressure accordingly. I would definitely visit again and

Haven’t been here before so was a little unsure how it would work out - the whole point of a massage is to get a good one right ? I got exactly what I was wanting! Perfect pressure and attention to my problem areas. Could not fault Monica, she was attentive and checked in with me about pressure etc, without being overly chatty. I would definitely go to her again. Reccommend 👍🏽

Always a lovely experience with warm greetings and professional service. I highly recommend Sandra, very knowledgeable and attentive to tailoring each treatment specific to what I need on the day. When arriving and leaving its great to see that any team member is happy to get involved and settle you in. Really a great practice overall, and Sandra is ace!

Booked in with Sandra for my first ever full body massage. I had met Sandra at a womens getaway and immediately felt I could feel safe with her as I have lots of issues with people touching me. I never would have booked otherwise! Sandra is seriously fabulous. At no point whatsoever did I feel awkward or unsafe which is huge for me. And I could actually move afterwards! Thankyou so much. I will be back :)

I had the best massage that I’d ever had here. Richard was very knowlegable and with some quick testing was able to tell me exactly what muscles were tight. Having had tight hips and tight shoulders for years I had never been able to pinpoint this before. Richard’s massage felt so relaxing yet I could feel the tension coming out during the massage, with previous remedial massage experience I have found tension release quite painful! He also gave me tips on how to stretch the muscles myself at home.

I've regularly been seeing Sandra Gadsby at Sandy Bay Massage Centre for over six years and I can highly recommend her. Sandra has always listened to my health issues and helped me find solutions. I consider my regular remedial massages as part of my on going health and well being and look forward to every appointment. It's been a great experience to find a massage therapist with the knowledge and experience that Sandra has - thanks.
