What Does a Remedial Massage Involve?
Before we begin, we’ll have a chat about what’s bothering you. This gives me a better idea of where you’re feeling pain or stiffness and helps me understand any lifestyle factors contributing to the problem. It’s also a chance for us to discuss your general health and any other treatments you might be receiving.
Once the massage begins, you’ll lie on a comfortable massage table, with towels to cover you (don’t worry, they’ll be warm in winter!). I’ll use a variety of oils and balms during the treatment, depending on your needs.
Many people wonder what type of massage I provide. I’ve trained in a range of techniques over the years, including Swedish massage, Shiatsu, sports massage, deep tissue massage, and aromatherapy. My remedial massage is a blend of all these styles, customised to suit your particular needs and the areas that need the most attention.
Who Will Perform the Massage?
I’ve been practising remedial massage at my clinic in Neutral Bay since 1992 and have worked alongside leading chiropractors and osteopaths throughout that time. I’ve helped thousands of patients reduce pain, improve their mobility, and get back to feeling their best. Whether it’s a short-term issue like a stiff neck or an ongoing condition like arthritis, I’m here to help.
How Many Massages Will I Need?
The number of treatments you’ll need really depends on your individual situation. If you’re dealing with a short-term issue like a sore neck, a couple of sessions over a week or two can often sort it out.
But many conditions, especially those linked to chronic stress, posture, or sedentary lifestyles benefit from regular massage. Some clients find that a monthly or fortnightly massage helps them manage stress, maintain mobility, and feel more relaxed and balanced in everyday life. Regular treatments can become an important part of your self-care routine, helping you stay on top of your health and well-being in the long run.
What Can Remedial Massage Help With?
Remedial massage is a fantastic option for a variety of issues. If you’re dealing with any of the following, it could be worth exploring:
- Headaches and general muscle tension: Long hours sitting or poor posture can lead to tightness in your neck and shoulders, which often causes tension headaches.
- Low back pain and sciatica: If you’ve got chronic lower back pain or sciatic nerve discomfort, remedial massage can help release tension and improve mobility.
- Frozen, stiff shoulders and neck: Releasing tightness in this area can restore movement and reduce pain.
- Sports or dance injuries: Whether you’re recovering from a sprain, strain, or muscle soreness, massage can help speed up your recovery.
- Muscle cramps or chronic pain: For those dealing with muscle spasms or ongoing discomfort, remedial massage targets the problem areas for relief.
- Joint aches and pains: Perfect for managing pain from arthritis or other joint issues.
- Whiplash: Gentle massage helps ease stiffness and pain following an injury like whiplash.
- Spondylitis and pain from arthritis: Remedial massage can help relieve some of the pain and stiffness associated with these conditions.
