What is Remedial Massage Therapy?

Remedial Massage uses a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to address individual health concerns. This massage goes beyond relaxation, focusing on identifying and addressing areas of discomfort or dysfunction within the muscles and soft tissues. Whether it’s tension, an injury, or long-term pain you’re experiencing, Remedial Massage can support your recovery and enhance your overall wellness.

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.

What Types of Massage Do We Offer?

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy is a type of remedial massage that uses direct pressure on specific points in the muscle tissue to relieve tension and provide pain relief.

All muscles contain possible trigger points that can be activated by factors like muscle overuse, injury, electrolyte imbalances, nerve issues, stress, and inflammation. These trigger points can lead to pain in the affected muscle and/or radiate pain to other parts 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 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 targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, making it a valuable approach for addressing chronic muscle tension, stiffness, and injury. Through slow, steady pressure, this method helps relieve tension in the muscles and tendons, encouraging improved mobility and easing pain. It’s frequently used to treat discomfort from overuse, injury, or stress, making it suitable for both athletes and everyday individuals.

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 soothing treatment designed to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and relieve built-up tension in the body. The pressure can be adjusted to suit your preferences, whether you prefer a lighter touch or deeper pressure. This type of massage is perfect for calming both the mind and body, allowing you to unwind and take time for yourself.

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.

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.
