FAQs - Mobile Massage in Sydney

Call: 0434 631 987

What type of massage do you offer?

Most of my bodywork is remedial, sports, deep tissue, pregnancy or Swedish/relaxation massage. I don't provide Kahuna (have trained a long time ago in Lomi Lomi but don't do those very often), Thai, reflexology or Shiatsu.

Do you offer "other" massages for men?

Being blunt, I am a straight male and this question often originates from gay/bi/bi curious males after a sensual experience - so the direct answer to this question is "No" - I do not offer sensual massage for men. Relaxation/swedish massages are available for female clients.

Are you qualified?

Yes, I have trained in remedial, Swedish, sports, deep tissue and pregnancy massage from various Sydney massage schools and I am registered with a professional association.

What parts of Sydney do you travel to?

Most of my work is around the Inner West and the Eastern Suburbs. Out of peak hour traffic, I will travel west to the Parramatta area, north to around Pennant Hills and Chatswood and parts of the lower North Shore.

A map of my service area is shown at here.

Can I claim a health fund rebate?

I am registered to provide health fund rebates with all funds for remedial massage. Unfortunately, most health funds no longer recognise mobile massage as being eligible for health fund rebates. As at September 2019 only NIB, Australian Unity and CBHS will pay rebates for mobile remedial massage. Please give me a call if you have any questions.

How do I pay for a massage?

Most people either pay by cash or by credit card. I take Visa, Mastercard and American Express and bring a machine with me to process credit card payments.

How often should I book in for a massage?

This question will depend on your own particular circumstances and more information is provided here.

How can I be confident that you will provide the quality massage I need?

Whilst I cannot guarantee that I can 'fix' you, I am confident in my massage skills and the mobile massage service I offer. If you are in any way dissatisfied with the massage you have received from me, then just let me know and there will be no charge.

This is an unconditional guarantee - you do not even have to provide any reasons for why you are dissatisfied. How many other massage therapists are prepared to offer this level of commitment to your satisfaction?

What do I need to provide?

I will bring massage table, towels, oils and all the equipment I need. All I require from you is a suitable space in which to work. Preferably this will be quiet and away from 'household traffic', sufficient space for me to be able to work around my table and, in winter, suggested that the area be heated as you can get quite cool when lying down for an hour or so.

What do I wear for the massage?

This is up to you. For people who have had a lot of massage, I find that they often prefer to take everything off when under the drape. Others choose to leave underwear on.

All I ask is that you make a decision that you are comfortable with so that you can relax during the session.";

What happens when you arrive?

For more specific information about how best to prepare for a home massage with Richard then check out this article.

When I arrive, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire whilst I am setting up the table. We will have a chat about any muscular or joint issues that you may be experiencing. We will also discuss your particular requirements and expectations for the session.

I will leave the room to wash my hands while you get undressed (either leaving underwear on or naked - whatever is your preference).

When you are ready on the table then the massage can begin.

I will check in with you during the massage whether I am using too little or too much pressure but other than that I will let you determine the level of conversation. Some people like to chat during their massage but most prefer to relax in silence and I will respect your choice.

At the end of the massage, I will leave the room again so that you can get dressed in your own time.
