Understanding 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.

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.

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 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.

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 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 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 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.
