Remedial Massage Adelaide

Types of Massage offered at The Physio Studio

Remedial Massage

Remedial massage uses a range of specialised techniques to locate and relieve strain and tension through muscles, tendons and joints. Massage therapy supports and speeds up the body’s own recovery mechanisms.

The benefits of remedial massage include the stimulation of circulation and improved blood supply to assist removal of waste products within muscles; the calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort; and the toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility. An improvement to the health of the cells, the repairing of tissues, and the easing of stiffness and tension can also be experienced through therapeutic massage.

Sports Massage

Sports massage assists in the prevention and treatment of sports injuries and in recovery from activity. Sports massage is designed to work on the specific muscle groups used in your particular sport and can assist in improving blood flow, increasing flexibility and range of motion and relieving muscle pain from intensive or repeated activity. Sports massage can also be used after an event to flush out the muscles and reduce recovery time.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue massage utilises techniques of firm, slow strokes to reach down into the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. The pressure used in a deep tissue massage is much firmer than a relaxation massage and can help to work through trigger points (‘knots’) and tension in muscles, while also stimulating circulation.
