How Remedial Massage May Support Your Wellbeing
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.

Common Questions About Remedial Massage
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.
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 Somerville 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.
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 Somerville clinic for on-the-spot claiming.
What other concerns do you work with?
