Remedial Massage Therapy

What Is Remedial Massage Therapy?

Remedial Massage is the application of a range of therapeutic techniques, used to treat muscles that are knotted, tense, stiff, or damaged. The remedial therapist will assess and identify which areas of the body require treatment, and use a range of massage-based techniques to optimise muscle function.

What Does A Remedial Massage Therapist Do?

A Remedial Massage therapist uses systematic assessment and treatment of the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues of the body, to assist in pain, injury and rehabilitation. To understand how to treat patients, a remedial therapist must know anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology.

How Does Remedial Therapy Work?

Remedial Therapy is simply the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body—the muscles, tendons and ligaments. And also to identify physical and bio-mechanical problems.

The therapist palpates the patient’s body to determine the condition of the tissues and the source of any pain, and suggests the correct form of remedial treatment based on patient’s analysis.

A combination of soft tissue release techniques, sports massage,

trigger point therapy, stretching, joint mobilisation, and myofascial release.

​

What Is A Myotherapist?

​

A Myotherapist is a primary care allied health professional who provide evidence-informed assessment, treatment and rehabilitation for a wide range of musculoskeletal pain and associated conditions. Myotherapists are expertly trained in a wide range of orthopaedic, neurologic and functional testing to gain a thorough understanding of a patient’s physical state.

​

​

How Does Myotherapy Work?

​

Myotherapy draws upon Western medical principles of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and pathology. It includes a range of manual therapies to ease a patient’s pain, including soft tissue therapy, joint mobilisation, myofascial cupping therapy, dry needling, corrective and rehabilitative exercise, taping, TENS machines and prescriptive advice on muscle and pain management.

What Can Myotherapy Help With?

​

According to experts, Myotherapy can help prevent and treat a range of acute

and chronic musculoskeletal pain and disorders. These include:

​

• Myofascial pain

• Stiffness & ache associated with bad posture

• Acute and chronic stiff or painful neck

• Knee, leg & foot ache – shin splints, patella tracking, runners knee, ankle strains

Dry Needling & Cupping Therapy

Dry needling is a procedure in which a one or more very fine needles are inserted directly into specific areas of sensitive tissues, such as trigger points (muscle fibre contractions/knots) which can be the cause of many acute and chronic aches, pains and dysfunctions.

​

Dry needling can be used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal

and neurological conditions.

Most commonly we use Dry Needling to treat muscular pain

and tension in areas of the body such as the neck, back, shoulders or legs.

Other conditions we can effectively treat include:

• headaches 

• migraines 

• carpal tunnel 

• muscle cramps/spasm

• jaw pain

​

Myofascial cupping involves the use of plastic cup and vacuum

that lifts and separates soft tissue, an effect known as negative

or tensional pressure. It can help treat soft tissue conditions

and musculoskeletal tension, pain, and common sporting injuries.

It can also create relaxation by stimulating the parasympathetic

nervous system.
