Questions We Are Often Asked About Remedial Massage
Is there a difference between remedial massage and a relaxation massage?
Although both may assist in reducing tension and promoting relaxation, remedial massage therapy is a clinical treatment aimed at addressing specific muscular issues or injuries. It employs advanced techniques in an effort to stimulate circulation, work with deep tissue, and support your recovery.
A relaxation massage generally uses broader, smoother strokes for overall stress relief. While it may help with tight muscles, it is less likely to support your overall health. Our Baxter therapists are trained in therapeutic techniques that may address underlying problems.
Is massage beneficial for nerve pain?
A number of people find that the sustained pressure techniques applied in remedial massage may assist with nerve pain relief, reducing muscular tension, and improving movement. Your physiotherapist will concentrate on the underlying cause while guiding you through self-care options you may explore in your day-to-day life.
Can remedial massage be claimed through private health insurance?
In most cases, yes. Our remedial massage therapists are registered with all major private health funds. If your extras cover includes remedial massage, you may be eligible to claim a rebate. We provide HICAPS facilities at our Baxter clinic for convenient on-the-spot claiming.
What other concerns do you work with?
