🌿 Did You Know? You Can Receive Remedial Massage at Home Through Your Home Care Package! 🌿

If you or a loved one is receiving care through the Home Care Package (HCP) Program, you may be eligible for in-home remedial massage therapy — fully funded under the package!

Massage can help with:
✔️ Pain management
✔️ Circulation and mobility
✔️ Depression and anxiety
✔️ Quality sleep and relaxation
✔️ A sense of connection and well-being

✨ Many of our clients look forward to their massage sessions as their special “me time.” Whether it’s to relax, manage discomfort, or simply have a friendly chat, these visits are about more than just physical care — they’re about emotional support and genuine connection.

📝 What’s Involved?
To access remedial massage through your HCP:
Ask your care coordinator or case manager to refer you for massage therapy.

Once approved, we’ll set up a personalised treatment plan based on your health needs and goals.

All services are provided in the comfort and safety of your home.

We work closely with your care team and family, always respecting your privacy and preferences.

💡 No upfront costs – we bill your care provider directly!
Whether you’re navigating mobility issues, chronic pain, or just want a moment of calm in your week, remedial massage can be a vital part of your care.

Let’s support your journey to better health — one soothing session at a time. 💆‍♂️💆‍♀️
