Remedial Massage
There are many different forms of massage, but generally massage is classified as the manual manipulation of muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia of the body. It can be used to treat musculoskeletal dysfunctions both acute and chronic.
Remedial Massage is classified as the assessment and treatment of dysfunction of the body with an appropriate treatment plan. Treatment techniques include deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, mobilisations and positional release techniques.
Our Remedial Massage therapists are able to provide all forms of massage including relaxation and sports massage. They are here to work with you to provide the treatment and outcomes that you require.
We integrate massage therapy closely with Osteopathy in the clinic so the appropriate treatment is provided to ensure you achieve your treatment goals. Our therapists can discuss your case specifically with Osteopaths in the clinic to ensure the appropriate treatment approach is taken.
