Myotherapy in Perth

Massage in Perth is sold under half a dozen names, and the name matters more than the price does. Remedial, sports, deep tissue and relaxation sessions can happen on the same table in the same hour — what separates them is the training behind the hands and, often, whether your health fund will look at the receipt.

Most practices here work in private rooms in blocks of 30, 60 or 90 minutes. You’ll be asked what you want from the session before anyone touches you, and you stay clothed to your own comfort under a towel. Some rooms add dry needling or cupping to a remedial session; others keep strictly to hands.

Worth checking before you book rather than after: whether the therapist holds a provider number your fund recognises, and whether the person you booked is the person you’ll get in a multi-room clinic. Pregnancy massage is its own booking with its own table setup — say so when you ring, not when you arrive.
