Ridge Clinic | Massage & Bowen Therapy Airlie Beach
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be injured to get a massage?
Not at all. Many of our clients come in for regular maintenance treatments to manage stress, improve mobility, and keep their body feeling its best — no injury required.
How long is a treatment?
We offer sessions from 30 minutes up to 2 hours. We recommend at least 60 minutes for your first visit so we can properly assess your needs and tailor the treatment.
What's the difference between Massage Therapy and Bowen Therapy?
Massage therapy uses hands-on pressure and movement to release muscle tension. Bowen Therapy is much gentler — using subtle movements on soft tissue to encourage your nervous system to relax and heal. Many clients benefit from both.
How often should I come in?
It depends on your goals. For injury recovery or chronic pain, weekly or fortnightly sessions are often recommended. For general maintenance and stress management, once a month works well for most people.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes! Gift vouchers are available — perfect for birthdays, Christmas, or any special occasion. Contact us to arrange one.
How do I book?

Where is Ridge Clinic located?
Ridge Clinic is located at Shop 19B, 121 Shute Harbour Road, Cannonvale — just minutes from Airlie Beach in the heart of the Whitsundays. We have parking available and are easy to find.
Do you offer pregnancy massage in Airlie Beach?
Yes! Pregnancy massage is one of our specialties at Ridge Clinic. Our therapists are trained to safely support mums-to-be through all stages of pregnancy, helping to relieve back pain, reduce swelling, ease tension, and promote relaxation.
What massage is best for lower back pain?
Remedial massage is generally the most effective treatment for lower back pain. It targets the specific muscles and soft tissue contributing to your discomfort. In some cases, Bowen Therapy can also be highly effective, particularly for chronic or recurring lower back issues. Your therapist will assess your needs and recommend the best approach at your appointment.
Is Bowen Therapy suitable for children?
Yes — Bowen Therapy is one of the gentlest therapies available and is safe for all ages including babies, children, and teenagers and the elderly. It can be particularly helpful for children experiencing growing pains, postural issues, stress, or sleep difficulties. Sessions are adapted to suit the child's age and comfort level.
