Remedial Massage

​​

Remedial massage is a clinical, hands-on treatment used to assess, treat and manage muscular pain and dysfunction. At Diverse Myotherapy in Pascoe Vale South, every session starts with a thorough assessment, so your therapist can target the actual cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.

This approach leads to effective pain relief, reduced muscle tension, improved mobility and faster recovery.

​

We commonly use remedial massage to treat neck and shoulder pain, back pain, tension headaches and migraines, poor posture and muscle imbalances, muscle tightness and cramps, sports injuries and recovery, chronic pain and overuse injuries, nerve impingement and referred pain, jaw pain and TMJ dysfunction, bulging discs, and general joint pain and stiffness.

​
A remedial massage is a clinical treatment designed to assess and address specific pain, injury or movement problems, rather than simply providing relaxation. Your therapist evaluates your symptoms and applies targeted techniques such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release or dry needling where appropriate. You may still find it relaxing, but the main goal is to improve function and reduce pain.

​

Your first appointment begins with a discussion about your symptoms, history and goals. Your therapist will assess the affected area, identify what's contributing to your pain, and tailor treatment from there, which may include massage, trigger point therapy, stretching or dry needling.

​

Yes, remedial massage can help with general muscle soreness and tightness from training. If you want treatment built specifically around your training load and event calendar, our dedicated Sports Massage service is designed exactly for that.​

 

This varies depending on the severity of your condition, how long you've had symptoms, and your goals. Some people notice relief after just one or two sessions, while chronic or complex issues may need ongoing treatment.

​

Many headaches and migraines are linked to muscle tension, poor posture and restrictions in the neck, shoulders and upper back. Remedial massage can help by reducing that tension and improving movement in those areas. Results vary, but many clients find regular treatment reduces how often tension headaches show up.
