What Does Remedial Massage Therapy Involve?

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.

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.

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 therapy that focuses on the myofascial tissues, which are the strong membranes surrounding, connecting, and supporting your muscles and bones. These tissues are crucial for 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 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 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 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 a great way to relieve tension, reduce discomfort, improve circulation and prepare the body for birth. We have a special pregnancy pillow for our lovely pregnant clients, or the massage can be performed while laying on their side or even seated. Your comfort and safety is always our number one priority! If you are concerned or have questions regarding pregnancy massage, please don’t hesitate to call and we can discuss this with you further.

Myotherapy

Myotherapy incorporates all the skills and techniques of a remedial massage therapist, with the added benefit of advanced qualifications that allow for a broader range of treatments. 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.
