Best massage in Perth
Perth has hundreds of massage rooms and almost all of them will list the same six styles, which is no help at all when you are choosing. So this guide is arranged by what you are after rather than by modality: somewhere to switch off for an hour, somewhere that will assess a shoulder before touching it, somewhere set up for two people, somewhere used to working with a pregnancy. Each pick says what it is genuinely good at and what it costs where the practice publishes a price.

Quick answer
For a proper hour off, Body Riches in South Fremantle has a garden room with a private outdoor spa and twenty years behind it. For a body that has stopped cooperating, Your Local Healing Choice assesses first and treats second across Wembley, Subiaco and Nedlands, and MyoCare in Hillarys books long appointments as standard. Subiaco Sports Massage opens early and runs to 8pm on weekdays. Guildford Wellness and MyoFix in Cannington both run HICAPS on site for health-fund rebates.

South Fremantle · Massage & Bodywork

What sets it apart is the Bali-inspired garden room with a private outdoor double spa, which turns a couples booking into an afternoon rather than an appointment. Health-fund rebates apply to eligible treatments.

Myocare Myotherapy
Hillarys · Massage & Bodywork
A myotherapy practice inside Westfield Whitford City that books long appointments as standard rather than the short slots a shopping-centre address would suggest. Hands-on work is combined with dry needling, cupping and exercise you take away, which suits somebody who wants to do something about it between visits.

- Exercise prescription included
- Dry needling and cupping
- Hillarys

South Guildford · Massage & Bodywork
A South Guildford practice built around sessions shaped to the body in front of them rather than a menu — deep tissue and sports work as needed — with online booking and HICAPS on site so the rebate comes off at the counter rather than months later.

What we considered
We compared Perth practices on publicly available information: the styles each one actually offers, the length of a standard appointment, opening hours including evenings and weekends, whether health-fund rebates can be claimed on the spot, how the practice describes its own approach, and whether a price is published. Nothing here says a massage treats a condition, and nobody on this list was tested by us.
Best Of guides are editorial. No practice paid to appear here; paid placements on Oria Haven are always labelled Featured.
Pick by your situation
- Choose Body Riches Wellness if you want the hour itself, not a treatment plan.
- Choose Your Local Healing Choice if something specific has stopped working and you want it assessed.
- Choose Subiaco Sports Massage & Physio if you can only get there before work or after 6pm.
- Choose MyoFix Massage Therapy if you are south of the river and want seven-day opening.
- Choose Myocare Myotherapy if you are in the northern suburbs and want a long appointment.
Before you go
Most Perth practices charge by the length of the appointment rather than by style, and an hour is the common unit. Only a minority publish a price list, so the guide names a figure where the practice does and stays quiet where it does not — ring ahead rather than assume.
Relaxation massage is a continuous, even treatment over the whole body, and the point is the hour itself. Remedial massage starts with an assessment and works on specific tissue, so it is often slower, firmer and concentrated in one area. Remedial is the one health funds usually recognise.
Remedial massage is claimable on many extras policies when the therapist is registered with a recognised association; relaxation massage generally is not. Several practices in this guide run HICAPS, which means the rebate comes off at the counter. Check your own policy — cover and annual limits vary a lot.
No. Massage is not part of the Medicare referral system in Australia, so you book directly. A referral only matters if you are claiming through a specific scheme such as workers compensation or a care plan.
Body Riches in South Fremantle has a dedicated couples room with a private outdoor spa. Several day spas also run couples rooms — Annasha in Gooseberry Hill has three of them, and Manusa in East Fremantle and Ganesha in East Perth both do couples treatments.
There is no schedule that suits everyone, and any practice that gives you one before meeting you is guessing. If you are working on something specific, a remedial therapist will usually suggest a short run of appointments and then reassess. If you simply like it, whatever fits your month is the right answer.
