Remedial massage therapy is a hands-on approach designed to reduce or eliminate chronic pain and restore function. It utilises techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation. These targeted treatments are focused on addressing the underlying source of pain. Remedial massage therapists are trained extensively in human anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology. This expertise allows them to assess, treat, and manage your pain effectively. At Motion Health Rehab and Performance, our remedial massage therapists collaborate closely with our physiotherapists and exercise physiologists to ensure a seamless and efficient recovery process.

Remedial massage offers a range of benefits, from alleviating stress-related symptoms and improving blood circulation to support injury recovery, to reducing swelling or inflammation, promoting relaxation, and easing tight muscles and restricted joint movement. Below are some conditions that may benefit from remedial massage when combined with other treatment methods:

● Neck pain
● Shoulder pain
● Back pain
● Arthritis
● Tension headaches
● Muscle spasms or cramps
● Sciatica
● Muscle tension

Remedial massage is suitable for everyone—whether you’re a desk worker, a professional athlete, a busy parent, or someone on their feet all day. Regular remedial massages can significantly reduce the risk of chronic pain and aid in recovery. If you’re dealing with stress, body aches, muscle tightness, joint stiffness, or delayed recovery from training or injury, booking a remedial massage or seeing one of our physiotherapists is highly recommended.

Your session will begin with a brief yet thorough discussion about your condition and symptoms to ensure the right care is provided. Your therapist may perform a series of tests to identify the root cause of your pain or discomfort. Where appropriate, hands-on techniques will target muscles, joints, and soft tissue structures contributing to your symptoms, with ongoing feedback from you to adjust the treatment as needed.

At the end of the session, you may be given home exercises to support your treatment or referred to one of our practitioners at Motion Health Rehab and Performance to ensure a seamless recovery process.
