Deep Tissue & Remedial Massage
Focused, hands on soft tissue treatment for tight, overloaded muscles and long standing tension. Not the same as a spa massage.
Where deep tissue & remedial massage makes the difference.
Regular focused massage reduces muscle tone, improves circulation, breaks up adhesions and helps you move more freely. It also downregulates the nervous system, which is often a big part of chronic pain patterns.
Overloaded lumbar and glute tissue from lifting, sitting and driving.
Rounded shoulder and mid back tightness from long screen hours.
Sore, stiff muscles between heavy sessions or after big weekends.
That familiar late afternoon ache from a body held in one shape too long.
What a session looks like.
Deep tissue and remedial massage use structured techniques to work through the layers of muscle and connective tissue. Pressure is firm and purposeful, and everything is guided by your assessment findings and your feedback.
Your myotherapist starts with a real conversation about your history, your goals and how the pain behaves through the week, followed by hands on and movement assessment.
Your myotherapist targets the specific muscles driving your issue, checking in throughout for pressure and comfort. Most sessions blend deep tissue work with stretching, myofascial release and simple exercises to keep the changes.
We talk you through why we are using deep tissue & remedial massage for your presentation, what you can expect to feel and how it fits with the other tools we have.
You leave with two or three simple things to do between sessions so the change you feel today actually holds through the week.
Who it suits.
- Chronic lower back and neck tightness
- Tradies and desk workers
- Recovery from sport or heavy training
- Postural pain
Part of a bigger plan.
Remedial massage is the base layer of most of our treatment plans. We often add dry needling for stubborn trigger points and myofascial release when a whole region feels stuck. For long standing patterns, corrective exercise is what makes the change last. See more on the conditions we treat.
Fantastic place to go to get all of your muscle problems sorted. Highly recommended.
