About Our Logo
Our logo is based on a plant found in the Sydney region. It's scientific name is cissus hypoglauca and it's more commonly known as the 'Native Grape' or 'Five Leaf Water Vine'.
It grows very quickly and connects effortlessly and easily with other plants, providing ample food and shelter for many native birds and small animals.
It produces clusters of purplish-blue berries which can be eaten raw and the sap that collects in the woody sections of the plant can be drunk as water.
Being that it is found in Sydney, this special plant would have energized many an Aboriginal from the Cadigal, Wangal and Eora clans.
We chose it for our logo because at Sydney Remedial Massage our aim is to help you to relax and re-energize with every visit. We are also dedicated making sure that we connect with our clients to make sure that we can provide you with the best possible service.
You will notice that our logo has five leaves. This is representative of the five aspects - the emotional, mental, physical, social and spiritual components of your health.
Upon closer inspection, observe how each leaf has one side that is segmented and one that is whole. This is aligned with what we do at Sydney Remedial Massage - even though we treat specific parts of the body, whether it be for injury or relaxation, our aim is to address the body as a whole, in a holistic manner.
