What is remedial massage?

Remedial massage blends classic Swedish flow with focused techniques — trigger-point release, myofascial-style work and gentle mobilisations — to reduce muscle tone, support range and settle overworked areas.

Ideal for: desk-related neck/shoulders, recurrent mid-back tightness, runners’ calves/hips and general overload.

If you have a specific injury or nerve symptoms, our Physiotherapy team can assess and coordinate care.

Frequently asked

Is remedial massage painful?

Treatment should feel relieving, not sharp. We adjust pressure to your comfort and avoid reproducing intense pain.

What should I wear/bring?

Comfortable clothing; we provide towels and oils. Please tell us about any skin sensitivities.

How many sessions will I need?

Many people feel better after one session; persistent patterns often benefit from several sessions close together, then tapering.

Can I book if I’m pregnant?

Yes, with adjustments — or choose our dedicated Pregnancy Massage for optimal positioning and safety.
