How Our Values are Reflected in Our Pricing Structure 

Out of all the positive comments that we have received from clients over the years, one of the most common is just how affordable our services are. 

(The other, if you’re wondering, is our expertise and the effectiveness of our treatments—affordable doesn’t mean low quality and our clients will attest to that.)

But, as many may so understandably wonder, why would a professional remedial massage therapist deliberately choose to keep their prices below market rate?

The answer lies in our values—affordable, professional, and community-based. 

When George formed Transcend Health and Well-Being in 2018, he realised that he was in the unique position of being able to create a values-based business, so he endeavoured to establish an affordable, community-based remedial massage therapy practice that would be accessible to all in the local community while providing top quality care and expertise. Our pricing structure aims to reflect these values and our desire to operate a massage therapy practice with people at the centre of its purpose. We believe that our prices reflect these values in multiple ways: 

  • We believe massage therapy should be accessible to all. 

The desire to help others heal and achieve optimum health was the driving force behind George’s career change from Dental Technician to Remedial Massage Therapist. Just as doctors are important for overall health and dentists are important to dental health, we believe remedial massage is important to the health of muscles, tendons and overall mobility and function. Yet, remedial massage is not covered by Medicare, despite its importance. This causes many people to—understandably—ignore or put off treatment for muscular issues, leading to widespread pain, lethargy, headaches, reduced mobility and plethora of other health issues. We do not believe muscular injuries are of any less importance than other health-impacting injuries and illnesses, and it is our hope that by keeping prices affordable, more people are able to access professional remediation and treatment. 

  • Many issues necessitating remedial massage therapy require multiple sessions to treat.

Many of the injuries we see in our practice require multiple or regular treatment sessions to effectively address the problem and/or keep the problem at bay. This is especially true of issues related to stress or chronic health issues. We offer a reduced price for those requiring ongoing or repeated treatment to lessen financial impact and encourage others on their journey to good health. We simply do not believe that people should suffer financially in order to achieve good health. 

  • We are passionate about the health benefits of remedial massage, relaxation massage and complimentary therapies. 

Our services go beyond remedial massage. We also offer relaxation massage, cupping, reiki, reflexology and infrared sauna. Our affordable pricing structure extends to these complimentary therapies as we believe their benefits can lead to positive health outcomes in people’s busy, face-paced lives. 

  • We are a valued-led business dedicated to professionalism.

George is a trained remedial massage therapist, certified and endorsed by Massage and Myotherapy Australia. We may choose to keep our prices affordable, but this does not impact the quality and professionalism of our work. We are dedicated to the practice of remedial massage and incredibly passionate about the positive impact quality remedial massage and related therapies can have on health and wellbeing. Our dedication to the profession of remedial massage therapy and person-centred practice extends to our commitment to professional standards. 

George is incredibly passionate about helping people achieve the highest level of health and wellbeing available to them. Our passion for people and the benefits of remedial massage and related therapies is what drove us to establish a reasonably priced massage therapy practice, and it’s what drives us to remain reasonably priced to this day.
