Forge West End is more than a massage clinic. Our remedial massage therapist works in the same clinic as our physiotherapists and accredited exercise physiologists. If a recurring problem appears to require further assessment or rehabilitation, the appropriate allied health support is available under the same roof.
Long hours at a computer can leave the neck, shoulders and upper back feeling tight and uncomfortable. Your treatment can focus on the areas carrying the most tension, with the pressure and techniques adjusted according to your preferences.
Our clinic is conveniently located on Montague Road in West End for people living or working around West End, South Brisbane and Brisbane CBD.
Sometimes you simply need a great massage. Other times, recurring pain, weakness or restricted movement may benefit from further assessment.
At Forge West End, remedial massage sits alongside physiotherapy, exercise physiology, rehabilitation and strength services. This means massage can remain a standalone treatment or, where appropriate, complement a broader rehabilitation or recovery plan.
Your appointment begins with a brief conversation about what brought you in, where you are feeling tension or discomfort and what you would like from your session.
Your therapist chooses an appropriate treatment approach based on your needs and preferences. Different techniques may be combined where appropriate.
Your treatment takes place in a private room designed to provide a comfortable environment. Your booked appointment time includes changing — if you prefer additional treatment time or do not want to feel rushed, consider choosing a longer appointment.
Where appropriate, Aoife may provide simple advice to help you remain comfortable and mobile following treatment.
