How Remedial Massage May Help
The key benefit of remedial massage is targeted relief.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between remedial massage and a relaxation massage?
While both may help reduce tension and encourage relaxation, remedial massage therapy is a clinical treatment focused on addressing specific muscular issues or injuries. It uses advanced techniques in an effort to stimulate circulation, target deep tissue, and encourage 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 Frankston 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 help relieve nerve pain, reduce muscular tension, and improve movement. Your physiotherapist will focus on the underlying cause while also guiding you with self-care options you may explore in your everyday life.
Can I claim remedial massage on my private health insurance?
Yes, in most cases. Our remedial massage therapists are registered with all major private health funds. If your extras cover includes remedial massage, you can claim a rebate. We offer HICAPS facilities at our Frankston clinic for on-the-spot claiming.
What other conditions do you work with?
