Remedial massage is a treatment rather than a pampering session. The therapist assesses your pain or injury and applies targeted techniques to the specific muscles involved.
After a short assessment, the therapist uses deep tissue, trigger-point release, stretching and myofascial techniques chosen for your complaint. It commonly treats back and neck pain, headaches, postural strain and sports injuries.
Medium to firm, focused on problem areas. You may feel tenderness during the session and mild soreness afterwards, followed by improved movement and less pain.
Remedial massage is often claimable on private health insurance if the therapist is appropriately qualified. Mention it when booking so the clinic can confirm eligibility.
