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
Benefits of Remedial Massage
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
Techniques We May Use
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.”
Optional Add-Ons
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.
What to Expect in a Session
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.

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