An Introduction to Remedial Massage Therapy

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.

What Types of Massage Do We Offer?

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 that can be triggered by muscle overuse, trauma, imbalances in electrolytes, nerve pain, stress, and inflammation. These trigger points may cause pain in the affected muscle or refer pain to different parts 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 type of therapy that targets the myofascial tissues—the tough membranes that surround, connect, and support your muscles and bones. These tissues play an important 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 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 crafted for athletes and people who place heavy demands on their bodies. It specifically addresses areas that undergo strain from repetitive or intense activities, commonly found in sports and physically taxing tasks. Each session is adapted to the individual’s unique requirements and the sport they are involved in, with a focus on easing tension and stress in the most affected muscles. Sports Massage is beneficial for aiding recovery, preventing injuries, and managing ongoing issues related to physical stress.

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.
