Remedial Massage
Remedial massage offers targeted therapy for musculoskeletal issues, aiming to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and promote healing through personalised treatment plans. Therapists utilise specialised techniques such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to address specific concerns. Our therapists have a Diploma of Remedial Massage Therapy, and are eligible for health fund rebates and well equipped to provide high quality treatments.
The practice of massage therapy is the assessment and treatment of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues of the body to maintain, rehabilitate, or augment physical function; relieve pain; prevent dysfunction; and enhance health and promote wellness. It includes the systematic external application of a variety of manual techniques including stretching, friction, vibration, kneading, compression, percussion, and passive joint mobilisation.
Remedial massage uses advanced techniques to treat a variety of ailments related to the musculoskeletal system. It employs several specialised techniques to locate and repair damage and to support and speed up the body’s own repair mechanisms. Massage can also be beneficial in supporting mental health, including depression, stress, insomnia, and anxiety.
