Advance Function | Advanced Therapy: results-first work for pain, mobility and function

For people who are sick of “temporary relief”. The aim is mechanical change: reduce load, free movement, calm irritated tissue, and restore usable function.

How it feels when your body starts cooperating

These are the internal wins people describe once pain drops, movement frees up, and the plan is clear.

Identity
Your body makes sense again. You can tell what’s happening and why.
Better alignment + cleaner movement patterns reduce the confusion and constant compensations.
Certainty
Clear direction and measurable change. Not guesswork.
Assessment → treatment → movement integration gives you a repeatable path forward.
Security
Movement feels safe and reliable, not fragile.
Reduced load on irritated tissue + improved joint control = more confidence in daily tasks.
Feel superior
An edge. Presence, control, and capacity you can use.
Less drag in the system means better training, better recovery, and a stronger baseline.
  • Assessment by touch: locate restrictions, overload and compensation patterns.
  • Precise hands-on treatment: focused pressure and release where it matters.
  • Movement integration: targeted movement to help you keep the gains.
  • Carry-over: simple rules or exercises that protect the improvements.
Session options: Single session (2 hours) • 3‑session program • 6‑session program • 9‑session program
Minimum session length: 2 hours. Advanced work needs enough time to assess, treat, integrate movement, and set you up to hold the gains.
Restore focus

Restorative spa sessions in a clean, calm space

When you want a rescue from stress, tension and exhaustion. A nervous‑system downshift, better circulation, and a cleaner baseline. High-quality technique, neutral clinic setting.

  • Resets stress load, tension and nervous-system “overdrive”
  • Restores energy, circulation and skin health/appearance
  • Minimum 90 minutes (we don’t do rushed sessions)
Example: Facial Spa + Massage from $222 (90+ min). Approximately 45 minutes is facial work, with the remaining time focused on the rest of the body. Live pricing and availability are in the booking menu.

A complete rebuild of how your body moves and functions

We don’t chase “tight muscles”. We target how your system is organised and loaded, so movement becomes easier to sustain.

  • Joints & alignment: restore movement quality and reduce compression through key joints.
  • Breathing & internal comfort: when the trunk moves better, many people feel more ease in breathing and daily comfort.
  • Nervous system: strong but controlled work can help shift persistent “on” mode and reduce stress load.
  • Strength & longevity: movement and home work supports recovery and resilience between sessions.
Plain English: This work aims to change output. Walking, bending, training, sleep and daily comfort get easier when your body isn’t fighting itself.
Standards

Clean, clinical, professional

Bright rooms, neutral backgrounds, proper hygiene. Built for treatment, not distractions.

  • Fresh linen for every client
  • Sanitised surfaces and proper hand hygiene
  • Low-scent environment
  • Simple, ordered clinic rooms
Bright, minimal treatment room with table and folded towels
Real people of mixed ages looking comfortable and well
Who we help

Normal bodies, real lives, real demands

Desk bodies, work bodies, parent bodies, training bodies. People who keep going even when their body isn’t cooperating.

  • Babies, kids, teens, adults, older adults (everyone deserves function at any age)
  • Desk bodies, work bodies, parent bodies, training bodies
  • Long-term “stuck” patterns, stiffness, overload and flare-ups
Style: gentle, persuasive techniques. Strong when needed, never reckless.
Movement

Physical therapy, not just lying on a table

BodyAlive sessions can include targeted movement during treatment, plus simple exercises to keep improvements moving forward.

How it’s chosen

  • Support the alignment and movement quality created in-session
  • Unwind long-standing compensations and degenerative patterns
  • Help you improve between visits instead of sliding backwards
Movement is selected for your pattern. Not random stretching.

Lifestyle inputs

Food, habits, and the quiet inputs that keep dragging you backward

Hands-on work helps. Results hold better when your daily inputs support recovery instead of fighting it.

What we can cover (as part of some programs)

  • Identify common foods and products that may contribute to inflammation and poor recovery
  • Make simple swaps that support steadier energy and better repair
  • Build habits that make progress easier to maintain
Not fads: this is practical education and habit support. For medical nutrition needs, allergies or diagnosed conditions, work with your GP or a qualified dietitian.
Why it matters: if the baseline inputs are inflammatory, the body keeps re-tightening and re-guarding. Better inputs make results easier to hold.

No lectures: the goal is a cleaner, more workable baseline you can actually stick to.

Longevity

Built for long-term function and independence

This suits people rebuilding capacity. The aim is sustainable function, not short-lived relief.

  • Support joint comfort and movement quality
  • Reduce overload and recurring flare-ups
  • Maintain confidence and independence
Value

Why people call this an investment, not an expense

When your body works properly, everything gets easier. Energy, sleep, clarity, stress tolerance, and daily comfort all improve when you’re not fighting pain and restriction.

  • More usable energy and stamina
  • Clearer thinking (less “fog” from constant pain signals)
  • Higher stress tolerance and steadier sleep
  • Less distraction from pain and restriction
People spend thousands maintaining cars, tools and homes. Your body is the one system you cannot replace. Investing in function and resilience pays you back daily.

Short session

Emergency Discomfort Relief (30 minutes)

Rapid relief for acute musculoskeletal discomfort. This is not Advanced Therapy. It’s a short, targeted session to reduce pain and restore basic movement when you’re stuck.

Suggested approach (what the 30 minutes is for)

Fast triage + targeted decompression + a simple plan so the relief holds.

1) Quick screen
Confirm it’s musculoskeletal and safe to treat.
2) Decompress
Reduce load and calm the hot spot so movement stops fighting you.
3) Reset pattern
Restore basic joint glide and coordination in the area.
4) Protect the change
1–2 simple movements or positions so you don’t rebound by tonight.
  • Best for: acute strain, spasm, sudden joint restriction, painful movement patterns.
  • Not for: unexplained severe pain, internal/systemic/organ pain, neurological red flags.
  • Next step: if you want the full rebuild, book Advance Function | Advanced Therapy (2 hours).

Investment: $170

Safety: If pain is unexplained, severe, worsening, or linked with fever, chest pain, new numbness/weakness, loss of bladder/bowel control, or major trauma, medical assessment comes first.
