Understanding Remedial Massage Therapy

Remedial Massage incorporates different therapeutic massage methods, each aimed at addressing specific health concerns. It’s not just a relaxing experience—it’s designed to target and treat problem areas in the muscles and soft tissues. 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.

In our collaborative approach to your health, we may include one or more of these tailored massage therapies in your treatment plan. Our aim is to deliver customised care that addresses your individual needs, supporting your overall well-being.

The Different Types of Massage We Provide

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 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 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 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 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 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.
