🪡 Dry Needling for Runners 🪡
Distance running can absolutely fry your lower leg and one of the quiet culprits for anything from foot to ITB to hip pain can be the long, thin double team of the Peroneus muscles that run down the outside of your calves.
I can't count how many times I've had a message a few days after Peroneus needling from clients telling me how amazing their feet/calves/knees/hip feel.
And before you ask, yes, similar results can be achieved sans pokey-pokey.
We've got Universal different ways to help keep you in your feet.
See what I did there?
Head to the link in our bio to see what we can do for your aches and pains.
✨ Carpal Tunnel syndrome self treatment ✨
Recap: Each movement shown is to be done for 30-60 seconds each with the exception of stretching.
Rub down forearm, pump the muscles, circle work the length of forearm front and back, deep strip then repeat the above in reverse.
The stretches shown are to be done a minimum of twice.
PLEASE NOTE: Despite what I say at the end this is not 100% guaranteed to "fix" Carpal Tunnel syndrome. Please seek the advice of a medical professional or registered allied health practitioner in person for proper treatment.
It should deliver some relief though.
Hand relief.
Lord I shouldn't be allowed near microphones or keyboards.

A quick update to our opening hours while Molly Facer is off work adding a +1 to the population of badasses on the planet.
In the meantime Heather Christian and I have thrown some extra hours into the mix.
Keep your eyes on our story for potential Saturday spots as well.
This one time, in the reviews, I got 3 stars instead of the usual 5 (5 star massage -2 stars for the room) so I just HAD to do something...
First off go to www.unimassage.com.au to book.
Second, I'll be back next Monday!
The week is full but cancels happen and the following week is fully open.
I'll be going slow the first few weeks to make sure my body stays together but after that the gloves are off!
Thank you all SO much for your patience while I recover and I look forward to being back on the tools helping everyone out again 🖤
TL:DR I (Jacob) will be unavailable to book from the 3rd March to 25th May due to rotator cuff surgery.
If you're pre-booked I'll be in touch to change your booking.
If you're a regular if mine please consider or for your ongoing treatment, both can be booked on our website.
I still have spots available for Feb so PLEASE get in and book now before I'm out of commission.
As always, thank you all SO SO much for your continued support of my little business.
It honestly means the world to me 💚🖤💚

It's been a while (Unimassage days!) since Student Rates have been a thing but we're happy to be bringing them back for the students of UTAS!
Student rate bookings are now an option online, simply specify if you're after a 30 or 60min booking, get in touch for a 90 and make sure you have your student ID on hand when you come in for your appointment!
Thanks to everyone for your continued support and hopefully we can help some more students this way.

What do we do with a corked thigh? We stab it of course! 📌
Well we don't stab IT, we stab its perimeter.
Corked thighs are s**t. The tissue feels tight, the muscles feel tight, the whole leg feels restricted and heavy and when you sneeze it feels like it wants to pop.
But why stabby time?
Slightly subdermal placement of Chinese style acupuncture needles with a touch of clockwise winding can kick off a localised histamine response.
Histamine is a signaller for white blood cells which will mosey on down and gobble up all the metabolic waste produced from the subdermal bleeding.
This combined with some light frictioning sweeps over the tissue towards the heart will direct the waste away from the cork and should accelerate the healing process.
The end result post treatment is a substantial drop in perceived tightness around the area and a much "lighter" feeling leg.
Dunno if we helped with the sneeze-splodey sensation but time will tell!

Universal Massage will be having a slight price adjustment across the board effective 1st of August 2025.
If you have forward bookings past August we are happy to honour the 2024 price for your first booking but all forward appointments will be at the new 2025 rate.
We try to keep these things held back for as long as possible but when the rent and the laundry goes up, unfortunately our prices have to as well to accommodate the extra expenses.
Thank you so much to our loyal regulars and our welcome new clients for your continued support and trust.
