What Does Remedial Massage Therapy Involve?

Whether you’re suffering from tension, recovering from an injury, or managing chronic discomfort, Remedial Massage can aid in your recovery and contribute to better overall well-being.

As part of our team-based approach to your health, we may incorporate one or more of these specialised massage therapies into your treatment plan. Our goal is to provide personalised care that addresses your unique concerns, helping you feel your best.

The Different Types of Massage We Provide

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy is a form of remedial massage in which direct pressure is applied to specific points within muscle tissue to reduce muscle tension and increase pain relief.

All muscles have potential trigger points which can be turned on by muscle overuse, trauma, electrolyte imbalances, nerve pain, stress and inflammation. These trigger points can cause pain in the muscle affected and/or refer pain to other areas of the body.

Trigger Point Therapy (TPT) is internationally recognised as a valuable pain treatment that can be beneficial to a wide range of 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 is a therapeutic approach that targets the myofascial tissues, the resilient membranes surrounding and supporting your muscles and bones, which play a key role in maintaining the structure and function of your musculoskeletal system.

During treatment, the therapist finds areas where the tissues feel stiff or restricted, lacking the usual flexibility and movement. By using slow, sustained pressure on these areas, the goal is to release tension and bring back the natural flexibility and strength of the tissues.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage is designed to work on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, making it especially useful for treating chronic stiffness, tension, and injury. Using slow, firm pressure, it helps release tension from muscles and tendons, improving mobility and reducing pain. This technique is often applied to areas affected by overuse, injury, or stress, and is beneficial for both everyday people and athletes.

Sports Massage

Sports Massage is intended for athletes and those who regularly put their bodies under high physical strain. The treatment focuses on areas prone to strain from repetitive or strenuous movements, often seen in sports and other physical activities. Every session is customised to fit the individual’s needs and the sport they participate in, with attention on releasing tension and stress in the key areas. Sports Massage can help with recovery, injury prevention, and managing existing stress-related issues.

Relaxation Massage

Relaxation Massage is a gentle treatment designed to release tension, enhance circulation, and promote overall relaxation. The pressure can be customised to your liking, whether you prefer a soft or more intense massage. This therapy is perfect for bringing calm to both your mind and body, offering a peaceful moment to unwind and focus on self-care.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage is an excellent option for easing tension, reducing discomfort, boosting circulation, and getting the body ready for birth. We offer a special pregnancy pillow for our wonderful pregnant clients, or the massage can be done while you lie on your side or sit comfortably. Your safety and comfort are always our top priority! If you have concerns or questions about pregnancy massage, we are happy to chat with you—please feel free to call us to discuss this further.

These include specialised techniques such as dry needling, cupping, hot and cold therapy and TENS. Myotherapists also have extensive knowledge of exercises to help strengthen or stretch muscles, tailored to your specific needs. At Mt Eliza Family Chiropractic, our Myotherapists focus on improving your overall muscle function, helping you move better and feel your best.
