What is remedial massage therapy?

It is a complementary therapy that uses massage techniques to repair damaged muscles and relieve pain. It helps to repair, recover, and heal the body. It is often used to treat injuries, chronic pain, and tension. The goal of remedial massage is to address the underlying cause of pain or dysfunction.

What are the benefits of remedial massage?

For those who work long hours at a desk, who exercise and or have labour intensive jobs, remedial massage can help to relieve tightness in the shoulders, back, calf and neck muscles. It can also increase the range of motion in your body, making it easier to stay active and avoid further injuries. In addition, remedial massage can also be helpful for those suffering from conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis.

By improving circulation and decreasing inflammation, remedial massage can help to ease pain and improve mobility.

How We do Remedial Massage at Thornbury Apothecary

Your journey of self-discovery begins the moment you walk through our door. You can book an appointment online or give our reception a call on 03 7016 4369.

The process begins with an in-depth consultation with your therapist, during which they will take the time to get to know you and your specific needs. This initial meeting is vital, as it allows your therapist to gain a deep understanding of who you are and what you hope to achieve through the treatment session. From there, they will be able to tailor their approach to best suit your individual needs. Throughout this process, your therapist will serve as a guide and sounding board, helping you to connect with your body and find ways to strengthen it.

What You Need to Know Before Your First Massage

Booking a massage is a ‘self-care’ approach to treating yourself, but it's also important to know what you're getting yourself into. Here are some frequently asked questions that will help you get started:

  • Remedial massage can help to relieve pain, improve range of motion, and speed up the healing process. It can also be used to prevent injuries by keeping the body's muscles and tissues moving correctly.

  • Remedial massage has been shown to be an effective treatment for sciatica. By targeting the muscles and tendons around the affected area, remedial massage can help to release tension and reduce inflammation.

  • No, remedial massage cannot make you sick. While it is possible to experience some side effects like dizziness or nausea after a massage, these are usually due to the release of toxins from the muscles, and not because the massage itself is harmful. Drinking plenty of water afterwards helps excrete these toxins.

  • Remedial massage therapy can help to alleviate lower back pain by increasing circulation and flexibility, and by releasing muscle tension. The therapist will use a variety of techniques, including deep tissue massage and trigger point release, to target the muscles and connective tissue in the lower back.

  • Remedial massage can be an effective treatment for a pinched nerve. By applying pressure to the affected area, it can help to release the pressure on the nerve and provide relief from pain.

  • Remedial massage can be an effective way to treat plantar fasciitis by releasing the tension in the fascia. They may also use techniques such as trigger point therapy to help break up any knots that may be causing pain.

The Relief You Need for a Fraction of the Cost

There's no need to break the bank to enjoy the benefits of a remedial massage. It is often covered by health insurance rebates, so they can be a cost-effective way to manage your health. Rebates available from your health fund.

We believe in supporting your self-exploration journey in every way possible. In addition to remedial massage, we also offer Gua Sha and cupping therapies.

Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves gently scraping the skin with a tool to promote circulation and healing. Cupping therapy is another ancient practice that uses suction cups to help relieve muscle pain and tension. Both of these therapies can be extremely beneficial for those seeking to improve their wellbeing.
