Eastern Melbourne Remedial Massage

Parental leave announcement!

Hello everyone, Dave here. Just a quick post to announce the safe arrival of my second child. Baby Holly was born at 12:27am today after a very quick labour (3 and a half hours- amazing!). We are all happy, healthy and doing well.

I will be taking a little over 2 weeks off for parental leave, and will be available for bookings from Friday 14th April. In my absence Steven will be stepping up to do a few extra days- please refer to the calendar to see his availability.

Apologies to anyone affected by Holly’s slightly early arrival. I always dislike having to cancel appointments but I’m sure everyone understands the importance of the first few weeks of life, and I intend to give as much support to my little family in Holly’s early days.


Take care and see you soon.

Today this small business saw its 10,000th client through the door!

It's humbling to think back to our early days, waiting for the phone to ring and hoping to see enough people a week to cover the bills. I'm so proud to see the bookings grow to such a consistent level where we are booked out well in advance; the growth has truly been worth the effort put in.

A huge thanks to all of our clients. I feel fortunate to be in a career doing something I truly enjoy, helping to move people away from pain and enjoy a better quality of life. Here's to the next 10,000 sessions!

We have officially moved to our new location:

Oakleigh Osteopathy & Allied Health
66 Atherton Road, Oakleigh

Our business name, webpage, and email remain the same, only the location has changed. Our webpage will be updated shortly, and we hope to get our signs up at the new location soon.

We are available for bookings from Wednesday, and look forward to seeing you all soon!

Great news everyone! With lockdown ending on Thursday night we will be available for bookings from Friday morning. Feel free to book through this page or our website and we'll see you soon!

Hi everyone

With lockdown restrictions easing we are allowed to reopen from tomorrow, so our online booking is back up and running.

Please remember to wear a mask when entering the clinic, and please don't enter more than a few minutes before your scheduled start time. We do have density limits in the waiting room and it is safest to arrive as close to your start time as possible.

Hopefully we will see you soon!

With the birth of little Sam, Dave will be taking a short parental leave break from today. Sam was a few days overdue but is very healthy and happy!

Trading will resume as normal from Friday 4th of December. Steven's sessions will continue as normal in this time, but will book out quickly!

Good news! With the Victorian Government easing restrictions, we are able to resume trade from tomorrow, Wednesday 28th October. Online booking is now available, so please head to www.easternmelbourneremedial.com.au to book your appointment, or use the Book Now tab on our page.

Eastern Melbourne Remedial – Remedial Massage Clinic Starting out as Chadstone Massage Centre in 2010, we opened and traded from Fitness First Malvern Valley for over 10 years. In May 2020 we changed our name and moved to our current location 1323 High Street Malvern, working in conjunction with Tooronga Physiotherapy.

Unfortunate news today, with our massage association confirming that Remedial Massage and Myotherapy are not included in the easing of restrictions that started from today. We will most likely be allowed to reopen in the next step, which is stated to happen on or before 11:59pm 1st November. The Premier mentioned this date could be moved forward if case numbers stay low, and with Victoria only recording another 4 cases today, we'll be keeping our fingers crossed.

It's not the news we wanted to hear, but it will (hopefully) only be another 2 weeks maximum until we are back.

Stay safe, and hopefully we will see you very soon.

It has been confirmed by DHHS that Remedial Massage will be allowed to reopen from the Third Step of the Road to Recovery, which is currently estimated to occur on or around October 19.

HOWEVER, to quote the official email from our association "The Third Step will trigger as soon as Victoria manages to reach an average of five or fewer new cases per day and fewer than five cases with an unknown source over a span of 14 days".

So basically, the date of the 19th is very much dependent on case numbers at the time. Given how low case numbers currently are I'm optimistic we will be allowed to open by that date. However until the date is set in stone I won't be reopening online bookings, in order to avoid any confusion and disappopintment if reopening is pushed back.

As soon as the reopening date is 100% confirmed, I'll be letting everyone know, both on Facebook and through email.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding.

Those of us in the Remedial Massage industry were hopeful of reopening when stage 4 lockdown eases, which would have had us reopening next Monday 28th September. However it has been decided that Remedial Massage & Myotherapy WON'T be reopening until a later step. We have been told that this should be no later than October 26, hopefully earlier. I will continue to keep everyone in the loop, hopefully we will be back soon!
