The philosophy
The Tao can be roughly thought of as the flow of the Universe — the natural dynamic balance between opposites, leading to its central principle of wu wei: non-action, or action without force. That balance is what every session here works toward, with hands, with pressure, with unhurried time.
Inside Pentridge
What we offer
01
When muscles become knotted and tense or damaged, remedial massage provides a healing treatment that can be gentle or strong, deep or shallow. Specialised techniques locate and repair damage to muscles, tendons and joints — stimulating blood supply, calming the nervous system, and restoring joint mobility.

Your feet carry thousands of nerve endings connected to the whole body. Foot reflexology stimulates reflex points, relaxing and rejuvenating every part — drawn from the meridian lines of Chinese acupuncture and customary in China for thousands of years.
Learn more →03
Aromatic plant oils chosen for psychological and physical wellbeing. Three signature blends — Relaxation (lavender, chamomile, geranium), Sports (camphor, pine, wintergreen), and Stress Relief (bergamot, ylang ylang, patchouli) — massaged directly into the skin.

Remedial massage applied holistically — not to locate damage, but to let the body settle. Muscles release. Tension lifts. You arrive carrying the day; you leave a little lighter. That is the whole idea.

TAO Massage sits in the Pentridge precinct — the redeveloped bluestone site of the former HM Prison Pentridge, built in the 1850s and now Coburg's heritage wellness-and-dining destination on Champ Street and Pentridge Boulevard. A calm room inside a storied address.
