How Remedial Massage May Help
One of the primary benefits of remedial massage is its potential to provide targeted relief.
Through attention to specific areas (known as trigger points), deep muscle tension, and dysfunction, our therapists may assist in reducing pain, improving muscle function, and enhancing flexibility.
Regular massage may serve as a worthwhile proactive measure for managing chronic conditions, supporting injury prevention, and maintaining your physical health, helping you to enjoy an active lifestyle on the Mornington Peninsula with greater comfort and ease.

Common Questions About Remedial Massage
What is the difference between remedial massage and a relaxation massage?
While both may help to ease tension and promote relaxation, remedial massage therapy is a clinical treatment designed to address specific muscular issues or injuries, using advanced techniques in an effort to stimulate circulation, engage deep tissue, and support your recovery.
A relaxation massage commonly uses broader, smoother strokes to promote general stress relief. While it may offer some benefit for tight muscles, it is less likely to support your overall health. Our Hastings therapists are trained in therapeutic techniques that may work to address underlying concerns.
Can massage help with nerve pain?
Many people find that the sustained pressure techniques used in remedial massage may assist in easing nerve pain, reducing muscular tension, and improving movement. Your physiotherapist will attend to the underlying cause while also providing guidance on self-care options you may explore in your everyday life.
Can I claim remedial massage on my private health insurance?
For most people, yes. Our remedial massage therapists are registered with all major private health funds. If remedial massage is included in your extras cover, you can claim a rebate. We have HICAPS facilities available at our Hastings clinic for on-the-spot claiming.
What other concerns do you work with?
We provide care for a range of conditions and injuries, including;
