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.

Our Range of Massage Treatments

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy involves applying direct pressure to targeted areas within the muscle tissue as part of a remedial massage, aimed at easing muscle tension and reducing pain.

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 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.

During treatment, the therapist finds areas where the tissues feel stiff or restricted, lacking the usual flexibility and movement. By using slow, sustained pressure on these areas, the goal is to release tension and bring back the natural flexibility and strength of 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 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 soothing treatment designed to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and relieve built-up tension in the body. The pressure can be adjusted to suit your preferences, whether you prefer a lighter touch or deeper pressure. This type of massage is perfect for calming both the mind and body, allowing you to unwind and take time for yourself.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage is an excellent option for easing tension, reducing discomfort, boosting circulation, and getting the body ready for birth. We offer a special pregnancy pillow for our wonderful pregnant clients, or the massage can be done while you lie on your side or sit comfortably. Your safety and comfort are always our top priority! If you have concerns or questions about pregnancy massage, we are happy to chat with you—please feel free to call us to discuss this further.

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.
