Our address is 8a/370 Pitt St, Sydney, NSW, 2000. But we are located in the Chambers Arcade. If you coming to us from Pitt St side, all you have to do is go up the escalators which is left to the main entrance. Once you get to the top of the escalators immediately turn right and we are down the hallway in the left corner. If you do have any issue with finding us just give us a call and we would be more than happy to assist you!

Full body massages (which generally include, head, neck, shoulders, back, arms, and legs, as well as hands and feet) are great and often important, but if you're experiencing acute shoulder and neck pain let's say, it's probably not necessary to work on your toes. Many of our clients do regularly request focused massage work, and others will request 80% focus work and 20% on everything else. It's your massage so it's up to you!

Absolutely not! At Bloom Massage, we want you to enjoy your massage and understand that every client is different. It is far better to request more or less pressure during the massage from time to time than to leave feeling like you did not get the massage you wanted. For both therapeutic and relaxation massage, it is important that you receive enough pressure to feel as though your muscles are being worked, but not to the point of pain. Massage therapy is supposed to be a "good hurt" and on a pain scale of 1 - 10, the pressure being applied should be around 5 - 7. Anything above or below those numbers are not therapeutic.

We work to alleviate scar tissue and adhesions (knots) in the muscle tissues by using pressure to "break up" those areas and to bring much needed blood flow back to various muscles. Generally the more pressure applied and time spent on specific areas, the more likely that area is to be slightly sore a few hours later or even the next day. This is often due to inflammation after the massage and is part of the healing process. If you are feeling a little sore, it is a good idea to ice the sore areas. Drinking water and keeping well hydrated is a great idea for both muscular and overall health. Research has shown repeatedly that toxins are not released during or after a massage, so don't worry about drinking tons of water to flush out the toxins.

The answer to this question depends entirely upon you and your current situation. If you are experiencing muscle pain and tension in a specific area or areas that are bothersome or noticeable on a daily basis, frequent massage on a weekly or biweekly basis may be suggested until the pain has lessened. On the other hand, if you are experiencing some aches and pains from time to time or just looking to relax, we generally suggest a regular massage on a 4 - 6 week basis. This is what we consider a maintenance massage. Think of it like an oil change; it's suggested you get one every 1875 - 3125 kilometres, or in this case, your body needs maintenance every 4 - 6 weeks.
