How Remedial Massage May Help
Targeted relief is one of the main benefits that remedial massage may offer.
By focusing on specific areas (known as trigger points), deep muscle tension, and dysfunction, our therapists may help reduce pain, improve muscle function, and enhance flexibility.
Regular massage may be an excellent proactive strategy for managing chronic conditions, preventing injuries, and maintaining your physical health, allowing you to enjoy an active lifestyle on the Mornington Peninsula with greater comfort and ease.

Questions We Are Often Asked About Remedial Massage
Is there a 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 Carrum Downs therapists are trained in therapeutic techniques that may work to address underlying concerns.
Can remedial massage help manage 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 remedial massage be claimed through 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 Carrum Downs clinic for on-the-spot claiming.
What other conditions do you work with?
