What is Remedial Massage?

Remedial Massage is a therapeutic approach designed to promote and revive physical well-being. Undoubtedly, this method proves beneficial in addressing various bodily issues. Instances of such concerns encompass muscle tension, discomfort in the joints, musculoskeletal imbalances, and similar conditions.

What can Remedial Massage help with?

Remedial Massage and its Techniques

Techniques used during Remedial Massage sessions include MLD, Cupping, Trigger Point Therapy, Deep Tissue Massage, and MET.

Cupping done during remedial massage service

MLD

  • MLD is a gentle, non-invasive manual therapy that aims to stimulate the lymphatic system and induces deep relaxation by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system fibres.

Cupping

  • Cupping is ideal for those who enjoy relaxation, as it gently stretches the skin while the cup is moved along the body.
    • At Melbourne Massage and Treatment, Giovanni uses plastic cups that create suction with a pump, ensuring safety and reducing the risk of burning and bruising.

Trigger Point Therapy

  • Trigger Point Therapy is one of the most commonly used techniques in Remedial Massage therapy.
    • It involves applying firm to intense pressure on muscle points that accumulate tension due to repetitive movements or specific weakness patterns.
    • The pain experienced during this practice can reach 7/10 (where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst), triggering muscle oxygenation and increasing blood flow to the targeted area.
Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage

  • Deep tissue massage is another well-known and broadly used massage technique.
    • A deep tissue massage consists of longitudinal strokes applied along muscle direction or even cross fibre. It stimulates blood flow to the targeted area and enhances nervous system relaxation, leaving you in better control of your movement and body.

MET (Muscle Energy Technique)

  • MET (Muscle Energy Technique) is a manual therapy ideal for athletes and sports lovers.
    • MET involves the client actively contracting a muscle against resistance to improve flexibility, reduce pain, and enhance muscle function.
    • This technique helps lengthen tight muscles, strengthen weak muscles, and restore joint mobility by engaging the neuromuscular system.

Explain Treatment Processes

Offer a step-by-step overview of what clients can expect during a remedial massage session.

Clinical history taking

In the first few minutes of the Remedial Massage session, Giovanni will ask you specific questions about your presentation. This would allow you to express your concerns, and it would help Giovanni map out the best treatment plan to undertake, including your short and long-term goals.

Objective/Subjective analysis

Giovanni will guide you through a series of movements and tests that will help define in more detail which structure(s) are involved in your presentation and which Remedial Massage modalities are best to use in the present session.

Hands-on treatment:

This is where Giovanni will deliver the Remedial Massage. Thanks to different modalities, which you will agree on, he will help you overcome your issues and stimulate your body to implement physiological responses to reduce any pain, discomfort, or stiffness.

Take-home Exercises

At the end of the session, Giovanni will show you and leave you with a PDF (sent by email within 24 to 48 hours from the appointment) containing the exercises that can best help you maintain and keep improving the change you were looking for.

Remedial Massage Prices

The appointment length is dictated by your presentation and the work that needs to be done.

For those who want to embark on a health journey, there is the Treatment Plan option. A series of sessions discounted by 10% to be used within 8 weeks of purchase. Available for returning clients only.
