At Pro Health Care, our remedial massage therapy service is designed to address muscular pain, soft tissue dysfunction, and movement limitations. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic tension, or seeking deep tissue remedial massage, our skilled therapists tailor each session to your needs.
Located across multiple Adelaide clinics, we offer remedial massage near you, specialising in muscular pain relief massage within our integrated health network.
What Is Remedial Massage Therapy?
Remedial massage is a therapeutic, clinically focused form of massage aimed at treating muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and other soft tissues. It combines assessment, hands-on soft tissue techniques and treatment planning to relieve pain and restore function.
Unlike relaxation massage, remedial massage is goal-driven and evidence informed. Your therapist works to identify and treat the root cause of dysfunction to provide long-term relief.
Remedial vs Deep Tissue Massage
Because many clients search for both, it’s important to clarify how deep tissue remedial massage fits within remedial therapy:
- Remedial massage emphasises assessment and targeted treatment to improve function and mobility.
- Deep tissue massage uses firmer pressure and slower strokes to reach deeper muscle layers, break down adhesions, and release chronic tension.
- The two often overlap – a remedial session may incorporate deep tissue techniques when clinically indicated.
If you prefer firmer pressure and deeper relief, our therapists can include deep tissue methods within your remedial massage session.
Common Conditions Treated
Our remedial massage therapy is effective for many musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Neck, shoulder, and upper back pain
- Lower back pain and sciatica-like symptoms
- Muscle strains and tension
- Repetitive strain injuries (e.g. IT band, tendonitis)
- Postural dysfunction and stress-related tightness
- Recovery from sports or workplace injury
Remedial massage assists with pain, stiffness, inflammation, and restricted movement by improving circulation, releasing tightness, and supporting healing.
What to Expect During Your Session
- Initial Assessment: Your therapist will discuss your symptoms, movement patterns, posture, and any relevant medical history.
