Meet Michele
About Michele Vieira
Michele is a remedial massage therapist with more than seven years of clinical experience helping people recover from injury, reduce pain, restore movement and improve their overall wellbeing.
She combines skilled hands-on treatment with a personalised approach, tailoring every session to your presentation, goals and lifestyle.
Michele's story
Hands-on care, planned around you
Michele has spent more than seven years in clinical practice. In that time she has worked with people recovering from injury, people with long-standing tension and pain, and people who simply want to move and feel better.
She starts each session by checking how you are going, what has changed since last time and what you want to get out of the treatment. The session is then built around that, rather than following a set routine.
At Good Joint, Michele works alongside our physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths, so your massage can be one part of a bigger recovery plan.

Questions
Seeing Michele: common questions
How often should I book?
It depends on your goals. For an injury, Michele may suggest a few sessions close together, then spacing them out. For ongoing tension, many people book every few weeks.
Is remedial massage covered by private health?
If your extras cover includes remedial massage, you can claim on the spot in the clinic and pay only the gap.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly online or by calling 07 5651 6594. If you have scans, reports or a GP letter, bring them along.
Where is the clinic and when is it open?
Good Joint is at 2563 Gold Coast Highway, Mermaid Beach, a short drive from Broadbeach, Miami and Burleigh Heads. We are open Monday to Friday, 7:15am to 6:30pm.
