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 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.

Your Remedial Massage Questions Answered
What sets remedial massage apart from 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 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.
Can massage help treat 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?
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.
