Intro

What is Remedial Massage?

Massage has been used to treat pain for thousands of years. Remedial massage is a hands on therapy aimed at manipulating the soft tissues of the body – the muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia.

A remedial massage therapist uses techniques like trigger point therapy, myofascial release and stretching to help relieve pain, muscle tightness and tension caused by musculoskeletal dysfunctions, poor posture and overuse or misuse of muscles.

Differing from relaxation massage, remedial massage is much more specific, using techniques to target the source, not just the symptoms of the pain. Remedial massage focuses on assisting the body’s natural processes to restore itself to proper function.

Regular massage can help to maintain a healthy body and lifestyle and is recommended for everyone, especially athletes that are regularly training and competing.

A Remedial Massage Therapist can help you with:

  • Back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Sporting injuries
  • Muscle tension
  • Joint immobility
  • Headaches

Some of the physical benefits of massage include:

  • Reduced muscle tension
  • Improved circulation
  • Increased joint mobility
  • Assist in healing of soft tissue injuries
  • Assist muscle recovery

Remedial Massage FAQ

Aside from remedial massage, our experienced massage therapists offer a range of therapies, including sports massage and relaxation massage. Each treatment is tailored to suit your specific needs, from injury recovery to muscle maintenance. Our physiotherapy and remedial massage clinic ensures comprehensive care by ensuring collaboration with our physiotherapists and massage therapists to support your overall health.

At RHP Physiotherapy, our remedial sports massage therapists specialise in sports massage and remedial massage, providing targeted treatments that cater to each client’s needs:

  • Sports massage is particularly beneficial for athletes, focusing on the muscle tissue used in physical activity. It enhances performance, supports recovery, and prevents injury. Sports massage is dynamic and tailored to help athletes maintain peak physical condition.
  • Remedial massage addresses specific injuries, muscle imbalances, and postural issues. Our remedial sports massage therapists use tailored techniques to treat the root cause of pain, promoting recovery and long-term healing. For athletes, remedial sports massage is essential in maintaining muscle health and preventing further injury.
  • Deep tissue massage is designed to relieve chronic tension by working on deeper layers of muscle tissue. While we don’t offer specific deep tissue techniques, our therapists adapt their approach to each individual. Some respond to a gentler touch while others benefit from a more firm pressure, similar to what is found in deep tissue massage. This flexibility ensures we provide the best possible outcome based on your unique requirements.

Remedial massage is an effective way to address sports injuries by relieving muscle tension, improving flexibility, and promoting faster recovery. At our physio and remedial massage Brisbane clinic, our therapists use targeted techniques to treat the root cause of your pain, helping you return to your activities safely and effectively.

Whether or not remedial massage is covered by your private health insurance provider depends on your level of cover. Our physio and remedial massage clinics provide health fund rebates for remedial massage services, so we recommend checking with your provider to confirm your eligibility.

The frequency of your remedial massage will depend on your health needs and goals. Regular sessions can be beneficial for preventing injuries, managing pain, and maintaining flexibility. An experienced massage therapist from RHP’s physio and remedial massage clinics will work with you to create a treatment plan that supports your long-term health and wellbeing.
