What is 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 team-based approach to your health, we may incorporate one or more of these specialised massage therapies into your treatment plan. Our goal is to provide personalised care that addresses your unique concerns, helping 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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 covers all the techniques used by a remedial massage therapist, along with advanced qualifications that enable a wider range of treatment options. These may include specialised methods such as dry needling, cupping, hot and cold therapy, and TENS. Myotherapists also have extensive expertise in exercises designed to stretch or strengthen muscles, tailored to suit your unique needs. At Mt Eliza Family Chiropractic, our Myotherapists work to improve your muscle function, helping you move more easily and feel your best.
