How Remedial Massage May Support Your Wellbeing
The key benefit of remedial massage is targeted relief.
Our therapists focus on specific areas (known as trigger points), deep muscle tension, and dysfunction, with the aim of helping to reduce pain, improve muscle function, and enhance flexibility.
As a proactive strategy, regular massage may assist in managing chronic conditions, reducing the likelihood of injury, and maintaining your physical health, potentially allowing you to embrace an active lifestyle on the Mornington Peninsula with greater comfort and ease.

Your Remedial Massage Questions Answered
How does remedial massage differ from a relaxation massage?
Both approaches may help reduce tension and encourage relaxation, however remedial massage therapy is a clinical treatment focused on attending to specific muscular issues or injuries. It uses advanced techniques in an effort to improve circulation, target deep tissue, and assist your recovery.
Generally speaking, a relaxation massage uses broader, smoother strokes aimed at overall stress relief. While it may provide some assistance with tight muscles, it is less likely to support your overall health. Our Chelsea therapists are trained in therapeutic techniques that may help address underlying problems.
Can remedial massage help manage nerve pain?
The sustained pressure techniques used in remedial massage may help to relieve nerve pain, reduce muscular tension, and improve movement for many people. Your physiotherapist will work on the underlying cause while also offering self-care options you may incorporate into your everyday life.
Am I able to claim remedial massage on my private health insurance?
Yes, in most cases you can. Our remedial massage therapists are registered with all major private health funds. Should your extras cover include remedial massage, you can claim a rebate. Our Chelsea clinic offers HICAPS facilities for easy on-the-spot claiming.
What range of conditions do you manage?
