Understanding 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.

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

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 widely recognised as a helpful treatment for pain and is beneficial for many individuals.

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 the session, the therapist locates areas where the tissues are tight or restricted, instead of being flexible and mobile. The therapist then applies slow, consistent pressure to these tense areas with the aim of releasing tension and restoring normal flexibility and strength to 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 calming treatment focused on relieving tension, improving circulation, and promoting relaxation throughout the body. The pressure level can be adjusted to your preference, whether you want a light or firmer massage. It’s an excellent option for soothing both body and mind, offering you the opportunity to relax and take a break for yourself.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage is a fantastic way to ease tension, alleviate discomfort, enhance circulation, and help prepare your body for birth. We provide a special pregnancy pillow for our lovely pregnant clients, or you can choose to have the massage while lying on your side or seated. Your safety and comfort are our main priority! If you have any concerns or questions about pregnancy massage, we’re more than happy to assist—just give us a call, and we can discuss this with you in detail.

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.
