REMEDIAL MASSAGE | BROOKVALE
Sports and remedial massage that gets you moving again
Hands-on treatment for the necks, backs, and overworked bodies of Northern Beaches locals. With Vaughan Hay, registered remedial massage therapist.
What is sports and remedial massage?
Sports and remedial massage is targeted bodywork. The aim is simple: find what is tight, sore, or out of balance, and work on it directly. It is not a relaxation rub. You will feel pressure. You should feel better afterward.
Most clients come in for the same kinds of things: stiff necks from desks and phones, lower back tightness, sore shoulders from lifting kids or training, and the deep aches that come from running, surfing, or just getting older. Each session starts with a quick chat, then 50 minutes of focused hands-on work.
You do not need a referral. Most major health funds rebate remedial massage when delivered by a registered provider. Vaughan is registered, and your receipt will include the right provider details.
Who it helps
Weekend athletes
Runners, surfers, gym-goers, team-sport players.
Desk-bound necks and shoulders
Long days at a screen, low-grade stiffness.
Lower back pain
Tight hips, weak glutes, the classic "sat too long" pattern.
Recovery between training
Faster bounce-back so you can train hard again sooner.
Techniques Vaughan uses
Deep tissue
Sustained pressure to release stuck layers of muscle and fascia.
Trigger point therapy
Targeted release of the knots that refer pain elsewhere.
Dry needling
Fine needles into trigger points to switch off the spasm.
Myofascial cupping
Negative-pressure cups that lift and decompress tissue.
Sports-specific work
Pre-event, post-event, and recovery between sessions.
Pregnancy-safe positioning
Side-lying, fully supported, suitable from second trimester onwards.
