Remedial Massage

At Incline Health Massage Therapy Leichhardt all our practitioners have extensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology to determine where to treat patients. Our services are based on best practice principles.

Before any remedial massage treatment begins, a thorough patient consultation and assessment is to be performed to ascertain the patient’s current health status.

All of our Massage Therapists at Incline Health hold a Diploma in Remedial Massage Therapy and have extensive experience treating a broad range of injuries and conditions in both clinical and sports environments.

Our Massage Therapists understand that each patient’s needs are unique, therefore all treatments include a thorough consultation and assessment, and evidence-based techniques selected and applied in a way that suits the patient.

If necessary, our Massage Therapists may cross-reference with our Chiropractors, Physiotherapist or Pilates Instructors to maximise the efficiency of the treatment.

Our clinically trained Pilates Instructors use comprehensive assessment and exercise techniques tailored to meet your goals and needs. Our instructors will work with you to optimise the movement and function of your body across all aspects of life, whether at the gym, at work, at home, at sport or with the kids.

Clinical Pilates classes are held in our modern and beautifully appointed Pilates studio (located in Leichhardt, Inner West Sydney) and incorporate the use of small and large apparatus including the reformer, Cadillac, ladder barrel, Wunda chair and spine corrector. Our Group Classes cater for a maximum of 3 people to ensure a high level of supervision is maintained throughout the class.
