Rebound Remedial Massage

17/02/2026

Stop treating your recovery like a 1-hour "fix." 🛠️

You spend 1 hour on my table, but there are 167 other hours in your week. If those hours are working against you, even the best treatment will fight an uphill battle.

Ever wonder why the same massage feels like magic one week and "meh" the next?

It’s not random. It’s Total Load. Your sleep, your stress, and your training volume are the "sliders" on your body's mixing desk. If they're all cranked to 10, the table work can’t stick.

In my latest blog, I break down:

🚦 The Traffic Light System for smarter training decisions.

📈 Why your coach needs data, not drama.

🪟 How to use the "treatment window" to actually make progress.

Stop guessing. Start steering.

AMT Media Release
AMT calls for Remedial Massage Therapists to be recognised as NDIS providers

The Association of Massage Therapists (AMT) is urging the Federal Government to include qualified remedial massage therapists and myotherapists in reforms to the definition of NDIS providers, as part of the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing's current consultation closing 28 February 2026.

"NDIS participants are currently forced to access massage through registered allied health practitioners, when qualified remedial massage therapists could provide the same service more accessibly and affordably," said Rebecca Barnett, Chief Executive Officer of AMT. " It’s galling that the very practitioners most qualified to provide remedial massage are unable to provide the service to NDIS participants. This policy doesn't make sense and limits participant choice and access to care."

Perth NDIS participant John Lynes said he was "gutted" to discover that his regular remedial massage is not covered within the scheme. "Remedial massage is the only effective therapy that keeps me mobile. It's saving me from amputation of my foot," he said. "I can't find an allied health practitioner who can provide the treatment that works for me."

Youjung Suh, a remedial massage therapist who has worked with disabled clients, shared the impact of this restriction. “Many of my clients rely on remedial massage to manage pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life. It is frustrating that they can’t use their NDIS funding to access my services. This reform is an opportunity to give people with disabilities the freedom to choose the best qualified provider for their needs.”

AMT is making a comprehensive submission and has created resources to help NDIS participants share their stories with the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing.

Your body isn’t a crooked car that needs a wheel alignment.
It’s more like a smart security system.

Pain + tightness often = the alarm system turned up.

Manual therapy doesn’t melt fascia.
It helps turn down the alarm by changing:
✅ sensory input
✅ spinal/brain processing
✅ guarding/tone
✅ autonomic state
✅ expectation/safety signals

Longer blog is up — mechanisms included, fairy tales removed.

📣 Are you, or someone you care for, living with disability — and would benefit from remedial massage therapy?
If your answer is yes, this is important.
Did you know qualified remedial massage therapists are excluded from providing NDIS-funded services? This means many NDIS participants are to pay out of pocket or miss out on treatment altogether — even when massage therapy helps reduce pain, improve movement, manage stress, and support daily functioning.
Today, we have a real opportunity to change this.
All I’m asking is 15–20 minutes of your time (perhaps your good deed for the day 💛). By adding your voice, you can help remove barriers and improve access to essential care for people who truly need it.

🚫 Myth: “If I feel fine after the session, I’m good.”
✅ Reality: Your tissues don’t respond on the same timeline.

Muscle, tendon, fascia, and your nervous system all react differently — which is why soreness and stiffness can show up tomorrow or 2–3 days later.

This post breaks down the recovery clock (in human language) and why timing is everything when you’re trying to stay consistent.

NEW BLOG
If you train like an athlete but work a trade or sit at a desk all week, your body is dealing with two different types of load. Most flare-ups aren’t random—they’re a mismatch between the forces you’ve been exposed to and what you can tolerate right now.

I wrote a quick blog on how I think about this (and where manual therapy actually fits) so you can keep training with fewer setbacks.

Pain relief is nice. Performance carryover is better.

I’m not here to “fix you” in one session—I’m here to use top-shelf manual therapy to help you move better, feel better, and train with better quality so your body holds up in the real world.

I’ve broken down the simple lens I use with every client—Forces → Feelings → Futures—and where massage actually fits.
