for Targeted Relief

At Body Motion Therapy, remedial massage is a targeted therapeutic treatment designed to alleviate pain, aid injury recovery, and correct postural imbalances. Our skilled therapists use specialized techniques to address your specific needs.

About Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is a clinical, goal-based treatment that targets the cause of pain and restriction. Using assessment and tailored pressure, we treat overloaded muscles, tight fascia and irritated trigger points to restore normal tissue glide, circulation and nerve function. It’s ideal for injury recovery, work or sport-related pain, and posture-driven tension.

Remedial Massage Explained

  • Reduces muscle pain, spasm, and trigger points

  • Improves range of motion and joint mechanics

  • Enhances blood & lymph flow → faster recovery, less DOMS

  • Releases fascial adhesions for better tissue quality

  • Calms the nervous system → less stress, better sleep

  • Supports posture correction & movement efficiency

  • Trigger Point Therapy – deactivates painful referral patterns

  • Myofascial Release – restores glide between muscle and fascia

  • Deep Tissue (targeted) – specific pressure for stubborn restrictions

  • Muscle Energy Technique (MET) – gentle contract–relax to reset tone

  • Joint/Soft-Tissue Mobilisation – improves mechanics without force

  • Lymphatic techniques – reduces puffiness and swelling as needed

    Pressure is matched to your preference—gentle to firm, never “no-pain no-gain.”

  • Dry Needling – resets stubborn trigger points & tone

  • Hijama (Cupping) – improves local circulation and decompression

  • Recovery Boots – intermittent compression to flush metabolites post-training

    Add-ons are optional and recommended only when they add value to your goal.

Brief chat + movement screen → targeted hands-on work → simple home tips (mobility, heat/ice). You’ll often feel lighter and looser; mild next-day soreness can occur and settles with hydration and gentle movement.

Athletes, desk workers, tradies, new parents, musicians—anyone with:

neck/shoulder/back or hip pain, headaches or jaw tension, forearm/hand overuse, postural strain from sitting/standing, tight

calves/hamstrings, or recovery needs between training blocks.

We adjust or avoid treatment with: acute fever/infection, open wounds, DVT history, uncontrolled hypertension, recent surgery without

clearance, first-trimester pregnancy (we adapt positioning), anticoagulant use (we reduce pressure). Tell us so we tailor safely.
