How Remedial Massage Could Support Your Recovery
Remedial massage is centred around providing targeted relief to areas of concern.
By working with specific areas (known as trigger points), deep muscle tension, and dysfunction, our therapists may help to ease pain, support improved muscle function, and promote greater 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sets remedial massage apart 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.
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 Sandhurst therapists are trained in therapeutic techniques that may address underlying problems.
Is massage beneficial for nerve pain?
A number of people find that the sustained pressure techniques applied in remedial massage may assist with nerve pain relief, reducing muscular tension, and improving movement. Your physiotherapist will concentrate on the underlying cause while guiding you through self-care options you may explore in your day-to-day life.
Can remedial massage be claimed through 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 Sandhurst clinic for on-the-spot claiming.
