Northside Therapies has a specialised pregnancy massage cushion that can allow some pregnant clients to lie comfortably face down during treatment. If you have a health concern or pregnancy complication, speak with your doctor or midwife before booking massage.

Lymphatic massage is a gentle form of massage that uses a soft pumping technique to drain lymph nodes of water and trapped toxins. Sometimes our lymphatic systems become blocked, ultimately causing our entire system to become toxic, making us more susceptible to infection.
Manual lymphatic drainage is a specialised approach that may be used as part of care for swelling or lymphoedema. If you have diagnosed lymphoedema, unexplained swelling or another medical condition, check with your doctor or relevant health professional before booking so you can confirm the most appropriate care.
Common issues treated with Lymphatic massage:
- puffiness and swelling
- regular colds and flus
- sedentary lifestyle
Hot Stone massage is a specialty massage where the therapist uses smooth, heated stones, either as an extension of their own hands, or by placing them on the body while they massage other parts of the body. The heat can be both deeply relaxing and help warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work more deeply, more quickly.
Common issues treated with Hot Stone massage:
- back pain and aches
- poor circulation
- osteoarthritis and arthritis pain
- stress, anxiety and tension
- insomnia
- depression

Step 2: Treatment
Your massage therapist will work through the treatment focusing on different regions of the body. The techniques involved will depend on the type of massage you’ve chosen.
