Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is the foundation of my practice — it’s where we begin when pain, restriction, or imbalance shows up in your body. It’s not just a feel-good treatment (although you may feel better afterwards); it’s a clinical approach designed to identify and address the source of pain or dysfunction. Through careful assessment, movement observation, and targeted manual therapy, I work with you to create real, lasting change in your body. If you’ve got chronic tightness, postural strain, old injuries, or just feel like something isn’t moving the way it should — remedial massage can help.

Assessment & Understanding the Issue

We begin with a focused conversation — what hurts, how long it’s been going on, and what makes it better or worse. I’ll assess your posture, mobility, and muscle function to identify the root cause of your issue, not just the symptom.

Discuss symptoms, pain patterns, and lifestyle impact

Conduct postural and movement assessments

Identify primary areas of dysfunction

Hands-On, Targeted Treatment

Using techniques like deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and stretching, I’ll treat the areas contributing to your pain or limited movement. This is interactive — I’ll check in often and adapt based on your feedback.

Apply appropriate pressure based on tolerance and response

Treat localised pain and contributing muscle groups

Use multiple modalities to address muscle, fascia, and nerves

Focus on restoring range of motion and relieving discomfort

Recovery Support & Follow-Up

Once the session is complete, we’ll discuss what we noticed and how your body responded. I’ll often give you suggestions for stretches, posture, or movement tips to support recovery between sessions. This is about building lasting change — not quick fixes.

Post-treatment recovery strategies

Stretching or mobility exercises tailored to your body

Advice for posture and pain management at work or home

Plan for further sessions if ongoing treatment is needed
