What is Remedial Massage Therapy?

Remedial Massage involves a range of therapeutic massage techniques, each designed to address specific health needs. This type of massage is not just about relaxation—it’s focused on targeting and treating areas of discomfort or dysfunction in your muscles and soft tissues. Whether you’re dealing with tension, injury, or chronic pain, Remedial Massage can play a key role in your recovery and overall well-being.

With our team-focused approach to your health, we may integrate one or more of these specific massage therapies into your treatment plan. Our objective is to offer personalised care that meets your unique needs, helping you achieve optimal health.

Our Range of Massage Treatments

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy is a remedial massage technique where direct pressure is applied to certain points within the muscle tissue to release tension and alleviate pain.

Each muscle has potential trigger points that may be activated by overuse, trauma, electrolyte imbalances, nerve pain, stress, or inflammation. These points can create pain within the affected muscle or send pain to other areas of the body.

Around the world, Trigger Point Therapy (TPT) is acknowledged as an effective way to manage pain and can help most people.

Trigger Point Therapy can help with:

• Sports injuries
• Neck pain
• Shoulder pain
• Sciatica
• Headaches
• Muscular pain
• Knee pain
• Shin Splints
• Lower back pain

Myofascial Release Therapy

Myofascial Release therapy works on the myofascial tissues, the durable membranes that encase, connect, and support your muscles and bones. These tissues are essential for preserving the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system.

In a treatment session, the therapist identifies spots where the tissues are tight or restricted, rather than fluid and mobile. Through slow, steady pressure, the aim is to release the tension and restore the natural flexibility and strength of the tissues in question.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage works on the deeper muscle layers and connective tissue, making it an ideal treatment for chronic muscle tension, stiffness, and injuries. By applying slow and firm pressure, this technique releases tension in muscles and tendons, helping improve mobility and reduce pain. It’s commonly used to treat discomfort caused by stress, injury, or overuse, benefiting athletes and non-athletes alike.

Sports Massage

Sports Massage is tailored for athletes and those who push their bodies to the limit. It focuses on areas that endure strain from repetitive or high-intensity movements, which are typical in sports and demanding physical activities. Each session is customised to meet the individual’s needs and the specific sport they engage in, addressing tension and stress in the most affected regions. Sports Massage can assist with recovery, injury prevention, and treating current problems related to physical exertion.

Relaxation Massage

Relaxation Massage is a gentle therapy aimed at encouraging relaxation, boosting circulation, and easing tension that has accumulated in the body. The pressure can be tailored to your liking, whether you enjoy a softer or firmer approach. This massage is ideal for relaxing both the mind and body, giving you the chance to unwind and focus on self-care.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage is a wonderful way to reduce tension, minimise discomfort, improve circulation, and get the body ready for birth. We offer a special pregnancy pillow for our lovely pregnant clients, or you can enjoy the massage while lying on your side or seated. Your comfort and safety are our top priority! If you have any concerns or questions about pregnancy massage, feel free to contact us—we’re happy to discuss everything further with you.

Myotherapy

Myotherapy builds upon the techniques of a remedial massage therapist, with additional qualifications that provide access to a wider variety of treatments. These include advanced techniques like dry needling, cupping, hot and cold therapy, and TENS. Myotherapists also possess in-depth knowledge of exercises designed to strengthen or stretch muscles, customised to your specific requirements. At Mt Eliza Family Chiropractic, our Myotherapists aim to enhance your muscle function, helping you move more freely and feel great.
