What Is Remedial Massage?

Remedial massage is a therapeutic form of bodywork that targets specific areas of dysfunction in the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. It is not just a relaxation massage—it’s a clinical approach aimed at treating both the symptoms and underlying causes of musculoskeletal issues.

Remedial massage incorporates a range of techniques, including:

  • Deep tissue massage
  • Trigger point therapy
  • Myofascial release
  • Stretching and mobilisations
  • Cross-fibre friction
  • Muscle energy techniques

At Acuvia, we tailor each massage session to your individual needs, health history, and treatment goals. Whether you’re dealing with neck pain from office work or recovering from a sports injury, we create a focused plan to help you feel better and move freely again.

What to Expect in a Remedial Massage Session

Your session at Acuvia begins with a brief assessment and discussion about your symptoms, health history, posture, and goals. This may include:

  • Postural and range-of-motion analysis
  • Muscle testing
  • Palpation of affected areas
  • Review of recent injuries or lifestyle factors

During the massage, your therapist will:

  • Use targeted deep tissue techniques on affected muscles
  • Release trigger points to reduce pain and referral patterns
  • Apply myofascial release to restore mobility and tissue hydration
  • Stretch shortened muscles and mobilise joints if needed
  • Adjust pressure based on your feedback and comfort level

Each session is customised to suit your body’s needs on the day—and can be either focused and clinical or more flowing and relaxing, depending on your presentation.

 

Benefits of Remedial Massage

1.Pain Reduction

Remedial massage can significantly reduce muscular pain and tension by improving blood flow, relaxing contracted muscles, and encouraging the release of endorphins.

2.Injury Recovery

Massage helps to reduce scar tissue, increase range of motion, and restore muscle function after injury or surgery. It also speeds up the body’s natural healing processes.

3.Improved Posture

Tight muscles can pull the body out of alignment. Remedial massage helps realign posture by lengthening shortened areas and supporting structural balance.

4.Stress Relief

Massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system (your rest-and-digest mode), lowering cortisol and promoting calm. It helps relieve both physical and emotional stress.

5.Better Sleep and Energy

Reducing physical tension and stress improves sleep quality, mental clarity, and daytime energy.

6.Increased Mobility

Loosening tight muscles and improving joint flexibility allows you to move more freely and comfortably.

 

Who Can Benefit from Remedial Massage?

Remedial massage is suitable for:

  • Office workers with neck, shoulder, or back pain
  • Athletes recovering from training or injury
  • Pregnant women (with modifications)
  • Older adults dealing with stiffness or circulation issues
  • Anyone needing to reduce tension, headaches, or fatigue

Whether you’re managing a chronic condition or simply need to unwind, remedial massage is a safe, effective, and natural way to support your body.

  • Chronic tension: Fortnightly or monthly maintenance
  • Stress relief and relaxation: Monthly or as needed
  • Postural support: Based on lifestyle and workload
