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.

As part of our holistic approach to your care, we may combine one or more of these massage therapies in your treatment plan. We aim to provide tailored care that addresses your specific concerns and helps you feel your best.

Our Range of Massage Treatments

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.

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 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 therapy works on the myofascial tissues, the durable membranes that encase, connect, and support your muscles and bones. These tissues are essential for preserving the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system.

In a treatment session, the therapist identifies spots where the tissues are tight or restricted, rather than fluid and mobile. Through slow, steady pressure, the aim is to release the tension and restore the natural flexibility and strength of the tissues in question.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, making it particularly effective for treating chronic muscle tension, stiffness, and injury. By using slow, firm pressure, this technique helps to release tension from the muscles and tendons, promoting better mobility and reducing pain. It’s often used to address areas of discomfort caused by overuse, injury, or stress, making it beneficial for both everyday people and athletes alike.

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 therapy aimed at encouraging relaxation, boosting circulation, and easing tension that has accumulated in the body. The pressure can be tailored to your liking, whether you enjoy a softer or firmer approach. This massage is ideal for relaxing both the mind and body, giving you the chance to unwind and focus on self-care.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage is a wonderful way to reduce tension, minimise discomfort, improve circulation, and get the body ready for birth. We offer a special pregnancy pillow for our lovely pregnant clients, or you can enjoy the massage while lying on your side or seated. Your comfort and safety are our top priority! If you have any concerns or questions about pregnancy massage, feel free to contact us—we’re happy to discuss everything further with you.

Myotherapy

Myotherapy encompasses all the techniques of a remedial massage therapist, with additional advanced qualifications that allow for an expanded range of treatments. These include techniques like dry needling, cupping, hot and cold therapy, and TENS. Myotherapists also have in-depth knowledge of exercises to stretch or strengthen muscles, tailored specifically to your needs. At Mt Eliza Family Chiropractic, our Myotherapists focus on optimising your muscle function, helping you move more smoothly and feel your best.
