Remedial Massage Unley

Our Range of Massages 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.

Benefits of remedial massage encompass stimulating circulation and bettering blood flow for muscle waste removal; calming the peripheral nervous system to relieve pain; and muscle toning and relaxation to increase joint movement. It also contributes to cellular health improvement, tissue repair, and reduction of muscle stiffness and tension.

Sports Massage

Sports massage is effective in the prevention, treatment, and recovery from sports-related injuries. It focuses on the muscles heavily involved in your sport, improving blood flow, increasing flexibility and movement range, and easing muscle soreness from vigorous or repeated activities. After a sporting event, sports massage is also useful to detoxify the muscles and minimise the time needed for recovery.

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.
