What Does Remedial Massage Therapy Involve?

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.

Massage Services We Offer

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.

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 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 treatment, a therapist identifies areas where the tissues feel tight or restricted, rather than flexible and mobile. By applying slow, steady pressure to these stiff areas, the goal is to release tension and restore the natural flexibility and strength of the affected 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 tailored for athletes and those who push their bodies to the limit. It focuses on areas that endure strain from repetitive or high-intensity movements, which are typical in sports and demanding physical activities. Each session is customised to meet the individual’s needs and the specific sport they engage in, addressing tension and stress in the most affected regions. Sports Massage can assist with recovery, injury prevention, and treating current problems related to physical exertion.

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 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 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.
