Remedial massage aims to reduce pain and tension and assist in recovery.
Remedial Massage Therapy Built Around You
Have you recently experienced an injury? Maybe stiffness and chronic pain have started to affect your daily life. Sometimes, standard care isn’t enough.
Remedial massage therapy is a targeted treatment that aims to treat muscle pain, release tension, and support recovery. At Therapia, our dedicated team of remedial massage therapists offer personalised care designed to help you move, feel, and live better.
More Than Just a Massage
Remedial massage therapy is often used alongside other treatments, such as physiotherapy, as part of a broader recovery plan. At Therapia, our skilled remedial massage therapists offer a variety of massage treatments, such as:
Remedial Massage Therapy
Remedial massage therapy aims to work directly on your soft tissues, muscles, fascia, ligaments, and tendons. Every session focuses on helping to loosen tight muscles and improve blood flow, which may offer relief where your body needs it most.
Relaxation Massage Therapy
Relaxation massage is the most common form of massage therapy. Using long, slow strokes that follow the direction of blood flow, it aims to ease tension, reduce muscle toxins, improve circulation, and relieve stress.
Sports Massage Adelaide
Sports massage is tailored to where you are in your training cycle. Pre-event, it aims to stimulate muscles to prepare your body for performance. Post-event, it focuses on addressing overworked muscles and soreness.

Relief That Goes Deeper Than Relaxation
By carefully manipulating muscles and soft tissue, remedial massage treatment aims to help relieve muscle stiffness, reduce pain, and improve circulation by channelling oxygen and other nutrients into body tissues. It may also support:
Flexibility and Mobility
Targeted soft tissue work may help clear lactic acid and other waste products, supporting greater joint mobility.
Natural Recovery
By addressing pain, stiffness, and muscle strains at the source, remedial massage may help support the body’s natural recovery process.
Body Awareness
Remedial massage may help improve your awareness of how your body moves and where tension is held, potentially supporting long-term health.
Common Questions About Remedial Massage Services
What is the difference between remedial and deep tissue massage?
Both address the deeper layers of muscle, but remedial massage takes a more clinical approach, assessing the root cause of your discomfort and tailoring treatment accordingly.
Deep tissue massage tends to focus on applying sustained pressure to release tension, whereas remedial massage may incorporate a broader range of techniques.
What types of injuries may remedial massage help with?
Remedial massage may help treat a range of injuries, including sports-related injuries, muscle strains, overuse injuries, and postural injuries.
What should I expect during my first remedial massage session?
Your qualified therapist will review your medical history before your session to understand your needs and any areas of concern. From there, they will aim to develop a treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Sessions typically involve a combination of massage techniques typically suited to your condition, applied with varying pressure depending on the area being addressed.
What massage techniques do your massage therapists use?
Our massage therapists draw on a range of techniques, including myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and deep tissue work.
They also use appropriate lubricants and movements, adapting each session to your individual needs and clinical requirements. No two sessions are exactly the same.
Who is sports massage therapy suitable for?
Sports massage isn’t just for elite athletes; it’s generally suitable for active people of all ages and levels. Whether you’re a weekend runner, a gym regular, or a competitive sportsperson, you may find sports massage therapy helpful.
Can remedial massage help treat scar tissue?
For some people, remedial massage techniques may help soften scar tissue, improve the flexibility of the surrounding connective tissue, and reduce restricted movement. This may be particularly helpful during injury recovery or following surgery.
How often should I book a remedial massage appointment?
This depends on your individual needs and goals. For those managing chronic pain conditions or recovering from injury, more frequent sessions may be recommended initially.
As your condition improves, your remedial massage therapist will work with you to find a maintenance schedule that supports your ongoing well-being and physical activity.
