Serving Reservoir from our Preston clinic

Getting here from Reservoir is easy. Plenty Road connects Reservoir directly to Preston — head south and you’ll reach 4/107 Plenty Road in about 10 minutes. Free on-site parking is available at the clinic. If you prefer public transport, Route 86 and Route 301 bus services connect Reservoir and Preston. Cycle commuters from Reservoir sometimes take the Darebin Creek trail, which links to Bell Street and across to Plenty Road.

We treat a lot of patients from Reservoir, particularly tradies and manual workers — Reservoir has a strong base of construction, plumbing, and logistics workers who put real load through their bodies every day and need clinical muscle work, not a light Swedish massage.

What remedial massage at Advanced Health involves

Every remedial massage session begins with a brief assessment of the area you’ve come in for — we’re not just going to work your whole back for 45 minutes and hope something helps. Your therapist identifies the specific muscles, fascia, and trigger points driving your pain, then uses the appropriate clinical technique: deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, or cross-fibre friction work. You leave knowing what we found and what you can do at home to extend the benefit.

Sessions run 45 or 60 minutes. For new patients with an acute or complex complaint, we recommend starting with 60 minutes to allow proper assessment time. HICAPS is available for instant health fund claiming.

Conditions Reservoir patients commonly present with

  • Chronic lower back pain — from physical labour, prolonged sitting, or lifting without proper support
  • Neck and upper trap tightness — office workers and drivers from Reservoir’s busy arterial corridors
  • Rotator cuff strain — very common in tradespeople doing overhead work
  • ITB and knee pain — runners using the Darebin Creek trail and nearby parks
  • Forearm and wrist pain — from repetitive manual tasks, keyboard work, or tool use
  • Postural strain — from long hours on job sites or behind a wheel

Our remedial massage therapists

Our remedial massage therapists are qualified to Diploma level or above, professionally indemnified, and registered with the AAMT or equivalent — which is the minimum standard required for major health fund rebates. We focus on clinical outcomes: identifying the structural cause of your pain and addressing it directly, rather than working superficially across the whole body.

What to expect at your first appointment

Your initial appointment begins with a 5-minute intake covering your current complaint, medical history relevant to the area, and any previous treatment. The remainder of the session is hands-on treatment. Most patients from Reservoir book a 60-minute initial appointment, then move to 45-minute maintenance sessions. Cancellation requires 24 hours’ notice. We see patients at 4/107 Plenty Road, Preston — on-site parking is always free.

Pricing

Remedial massage is priced at $75 for 45 minutes and $105 for 60 minutes. Health fund rebates apply if your extras cover includes remedial massage — the gap on most major funds is $20–$45 for a 60-minute session. HICAPS terminals mean your claiming happens at the clinic, not at a post office later. No referral is required to book or to claim.

FAQs for Reservoir patients

How far is Advanced Health from Reservoir?

About 10 minutes south on Plenty Road. We’re at 4/107 Plenty Road, Preston 3072 — a straight run from Reservoir with free parking on arrival.

Do you treat work-related injuries?

Yes. If you’ve sustained a work injury and are receiving treatment under WorkCover, we can see you. Please bring your claim details to the first appointment. We also treat TAC (transport accident) patients.

How often should I come for remedial massage?

For an acute injury, weekly sessions for 3–4 weeks is typical. For maintenance — preventing recurrence rather than treating an active problem — most patients find fortnightly or monthly treatment keeps them comfortable. Your therapist will recommend a schedule after your first appointment.

Can you work on a specific area, or is it a full-body session?

Both options are available. Most clinical appointments focus on a primary area — back, neck and shoulders, or lower limb — but we can include a related area if time allows. At booking, let us know your main complaint so we can allocate your time appropriately.

Do you offer same-week appointments?

Usually yes. Cancellations open up regularly — checking online or calling (03) 9484 9185 mid-week often turns up a same-week slot.
