Remedial massage is designed to reduce or eliminate musculoskeletal pain and restore function to muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue of the body. This type of treatment may also be known as deep tissue massage.

Remedial massage uses assessment to aid treatment and management of clients with musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, chronic and postural conditions, mental health conditions and sports and occupational injuries.

Remedial massage therapists are trained to assist with injury prevention and reduction, treatment and management of injuries/conditions/disorders, rehabilitation and ongoing management of chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Treatments can be adapted to suit individual requirements of age, gender, athletic and ability levels. A biopsychosocial model is applied to our treatments.

Treatment modalities may include the following: trigger point therapy, cross-fibre friction, myofascial release, muscle energy technique (MET), stretching including PNF, active release technique, manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), Rockblades, cupping and Rocktape. Home exercises and self-care form part of the treatment plan.
