How Remedial Massage May Help
Targeted relief is one of the main benefits that remedial massage may offer.
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.
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?
Although both may assist in reducing tension and promoting relaxation, remedial massage therapy is a clinical treatment aimed at addressing specific muscular issues or injuries. It employs advanced techniques in an effort to stimulate circulation, work with deep tissue, and support 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 massage help with 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.
Am I able to claim remedial massage on my 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 Somerville clinic for convenient on-the-spot claiming.
What other conditions can you help with?
