Understanding Remedial Massage Therapy

Remedial Massage involves a range of therapeutic massage techniques, each designed to address specific health needs. This type of massage is not just about relaxation—it’s focused on targeting and treating areas of discomfort or dysfunction in your muscles and soft tissues. Whether you’re dealing with tension, injury, or chronic pain, Remedial Massage can play a key role in your recovery and overall well-being.

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

All muscles have potential trigger points that can be triggered by muscle overuse, trauma, imbalances in electrolytes, nerve pain, stress, and inflammation. These trigger points may cause pain in the affected muscle or refer pain to different parts of the body.

Trigger Point Therapy (TPT) is recognised around the world as a helpful treatment for pain and can benefit most 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 works on the deeper muscle layers and connective tissue, making it an ideal treatment for chronic muscle tension, stiffness, and injuries. By applying slow and firm pressure, this technique releases tension in muscles and tendons, helping improve mobility and reduce pain. It’s commonly used to treat discomfort caused by stress, injury, or overuse, benefiting athletes and non-athletes alike.

Sports Massage

Sports Massage is designed for both athletes and individuals who place high demands on their bodies. This treatment targets areas that experience strain due to repetitive or intense movements, which are common in many sports and physically demanding activities. Each session is tailored to the individual’s specific needs and the sport they participate in, focusing on relieving tension and stress in the most affected areas. Sports Massage may be helpful in aiding recovery, preventing injuries, and treating existing issues caused by physical stress.

Relaxation Massage

Relaxation Massage is a calming treatment focused on relieving tension, improving circulation, and promoting relaxation throughout the body. The pressure level can be adjusted to your preference, whether you want a light or firmer massage. It’s an excellent option for soothing both body and mind, offering you the opportunity to relax and take a break for yourself.

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.
