What is Remedial Massage?
Remedial massage is a complementary therapy that focuses on soft tissues that require rehabilitation. By stimulating blood flow in your muscles, our therapists can improve joint mobility, get rid of knots and help your body repair muscle damage after intense workouts.
Our Melbourne remedial massage therapists will first locate the source of the problem, identifying the main areas of pain or discomfort. This could be scar tissue that has built up on your joints or adhesions in your muscles. Then we apply evidence-based techniques to these key points, releasing tension and breaking up internal scar tissue resulting from injury or overworked muscles.
Common Conditions treated by Our Remedial Massage Therapists in Melbourne

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between massage and remedial massage?
Remedial massage focuses on specific issues in the body, helping to rehabilitate injuries and manage pain. Targeted body sites could include knee, ankle, shoulder or back pains directly connected to your injury.
A standard massage is less targeted, focusing more on relaxation and stress reduction than physical rehabilitation.
What will be discussed in our consultation?
Before your massage session begins, our therapist will want to get to know you. They’ll ask you questions about your injury and the issues you’re experiencing. We can then determine a course of action for your massage treatment with this information.
What is remedial massage good for?
Remedial massage is ideal for people with problems that have not been resolved through other means. Chronic pain, migraines, back pain, neck pain and sciatica are all conditions that can benefit from the pressure techniques of remedial massage.
Do you undress for remedial massage?
If you’re having a dry massage, you can remain dressed while you’re on the table. However, many of our patients find they are most comfortable when just in their underwear.
For a wet remedial massage, our therapists will apply oil to your skin before beginning the massage. This will require you to remove your clothing, including your bra. You will still be required to keep on your underwear, however.
Is a remedial massage painful?
We will alleviate any pain you feel during a massage, but there may be some discomfort as we release tight muscles. Our therapists are highly trained in pain management and make sure you are comfortable during treatment.
How often should you get a remedial massage?
If you’re reasonably active or like to participate in sports, the recommended frequency is 1-2 times a month. However, this depends on your needs and can increase or decline depending on your pain levels.
Can I have a remedial massage while pregnant?
While it’s generally safe to have a remedial massage during pregnancy, the decision should be taken on a case by case basis. Please always speak to your doctor before scheduling any treatment.
Is It normal to feel sore after a remedial massage session?
After your massage, you may feel some soreness in the muscles that have been massaged. As we stimulate muscles you don’t typically use, you may be more prone to delayed onset muscle soreness. Expect massage soreness to subside in 1-2 days.
