Conditions Remedial Massage Therapy can help with
Sports Injuries
Recover faster, train smarter.
Remedial massage can aid in both the prevention and recovery of common sports injuries, including sprains, strains, and muscle tears. It promotes healing by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and improving tissue flexibility.
Ideal for:
- Runners, gym-goers, athletes
- Overuse injuries (e.g., tennis/golfer’s elbow)
- Muscle fatigue and post-competition recovery
Post-Injury Recovery
Support your body through the healing process.
After an injury or surgery, massage therapy can help restore mobility, reduce scar tissue buildup, and improve overall tissue function. Techniques are adapted for each stage of healing.
Common recovery areas:
- Soft tissue damage
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Joint or ligament injuries
Chronic Pain
Relief for long-term discomfort.
Chronic pain conditions can significantly affect your quality of life. Remedial massage targets muscle imbalances and trigger points that may contribute to persistent discomfort.
Helpful for:
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic lower back or neck pain
- Repetitive strain injuries
Muscle Strains & Microtears
Restore strength and reduce downtime.
Acute muscle strains or overworked tissues benefit from gentle remedial techniques that promote healing, reduce swelling, and prevent future damage.
Common areas:
- Hamstrings, calves, shoulders
- Post-gym or training soreness
- Poor lifting technique recovery
Tight or Stiff Muscles
Ease tension, restore movement.
When muscles become tight, stiff, or shortened, it can impact posture, movement, and energy. Massage loosens tight tissue, restores elasticity, and improves circulation.
Ideal for:
- Office workers with poor posture
- Those with sedentary or repetitive jobs
- General body stiffness
Stress-Related Tension
Relax your body, calm your mind.
Stress and anxiety can manifest physically — often in the form of tight shoulders, headaches, or jaw tension. Massage soothes the nervous system and helps your body unwind.
Supports relief from:
- Tension headaches
- TMJ/jaw clenching
- Neck, back, and shoulder tightness

Frequently Asked Questions
What is remedial massage?
Massage therapy is a powerful tool for relieving built-up muscle tension and promoting overall recovery. By manually stimulating body tissues and improving blood and lymphatic flow, massage helps remove waste products like lactic acid, speeds up healing, and encourages tissue repair. It also stimulates nerve endings beneath the skin, offering natural pain relief and deep relaxation.
Beyond physical benefits, massage promotes stress reduction, enhances flexibility, and supports improved posture and movement patterns, contributing to long-term changes in how your body functions. It also allows your therapist to assess the condition of your tissues, helping guide a personalised treatment plan. Whether massage alone is ideal or you’d benefit from working with one of our Exercise Physiologists or Physiotherapists, we’ll help you find the right path to recovery and wellness.
Do I need a referral to book a remedial massage?
No referral is needed! You can book directly with our clinic.
Can I claim remedial massage on my private health insurance?
Yes, if you have extras cover that includes remedial massage, you can usually claim a rebate. We offer on-the-spot claiming through HICAPS, so just bring your health fund card to your appointment.
What should I wear to my massage appointment?
Wear comfortable clothing. You may be asked to partially undress depending on the area being treated, but your therapist will always ensure you’re appropriately covered and comfortable during the session.
Is remedial massage painful?
Remedial massage can involve firm pressure to release deep muscle tension, so you may feel some discomfort during certain techniques, but it should never be unbearable. Your therapist will always work within your comfort level and adjust pressure as needed.
