That means if your therapist thinks something needs a closer look, a physio is only a few doors away and you won’t have to start again somewhere new. Read a little about each of our therapists below and book with whoever suits. Which one to book## Which massage to book in Kensington ### Remedial massage For the neck that’s gone stiff or the lower back that aches by the end of the day. Your therapist tracks down what’s behind it and treats that, with whatever pressure feels right to you. Training for something, or playing every weekend? Let them know what you play and they’ll focus on the muscles taking the load. ### Relaxation massage For the weeks when nothing’s wrong but everything feels like a lot. It’s slow and unhurried, and the hour goes faster than you’d like. ### Pregnancy massage Seventy-five minutes lying on your side, well supported with pillows, for the parts of you working overtime right now. Pregnancy massage## Pregnancy massage in Kensington ### “What does it help with?” The everyday aches of pregnancy, like lower back pain, hips that complain at night, sore shoulders, and legs and feet that feel heavy by the evening. ### “How do I lie on the table with a bump?” On your side, with pillows tucked under your bump, behind your back and between your knees. Your therapist will get you comfortable before starting, and you can move whenever you need to. We’re on the first floor of KCARC, and there’s a lift. ### “Who does pregnancy massage?” All of our therapists do, so choose whichever time suits you best. ### “Is there anything I should check first?” Mention how many weeks along you are when you book. If your midwife or obstetrician has said your pregnancy is high risk, or that you shouldn’t have massage, have a word with them first. Pain that’s getting worse, or pelvic pain that makes walking hard, needs a physio rather than a massage, and our [pregnancy physiotherapy](https://www.allforone.com.au/treatment/pregnancy-physiotherapy/) is at our Yarraville and Hampton East studios. ### “How long is it?” It’s 75 minutes, which gives you time to settle in before your therapist starts. If you’re torn between pregnancy and remedial massage, call the clinic and we’ll help you work it out.

FAQ## Massage in Kensington, your questions answered Where is the clinic and where do I park?Level 1 at KCARC, 99 Altona Street, Kensington. Take the stairs or the lift up to the first floor. You can park on site at KCARC or on Altona Street, and Kensington station on the Craigieburn line is a short walk away. Can I claim massage on my health fund?Yes, remedial massage is claimable on private health extras. Bring your card and we’ll put it through HICAPS before you leave, so all you pay is the gap. The rebate itself depends on your fund and your level of cover. How much does a massage cost?At Kensington, a 30 minute remedial or relaxation massage is $83 and an hour is $135. Pregnancy massage is $150 for 75 minutes, and 90 minutes is $185. Which massage should I book?Remedial is the one for anything sore, stiff or not moving well, and you can mention your sport if you want the focus on the muscles you train. Relaxation is for unwinding when nothing’s wrong, and pregnancy massage is the one to book while you’re expecting. If you’re still unsure, call the clinic and we’ll help you pick. Do you offer dry needling and cupping?Yes, at Kensington as part of a remedial massage. Mention which you’d like in the booking notes and we’ll put you with a therapist trained in it. They’ll use it only where it suits the area being treated, and you can always say no on the day. How long should my first massage be?Most people start with 60 minutes, which gives your therapist enough time to treat the main problem properly. Thirty minutes suits a single sore spot, and 90 minutes is there when you want the whole body done, or just a longer break. Can I see a physio as well?Yes. Physio and Clinical Pilates run in the same clinic at KCARC, so if your therapist suggests a physio you can book one without leaving the building, and neither needs a referral. ## Book a massage in Kensington Choose your therapist and a time that suits you, weekday or weekend.
