Remedial Massage

Much more than just feeling good!

According to Medibank Private’s definition:

Remedial massage is the systematic assessment and treatment of the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues of the body to assist in rehabilitation, pain and injury management... It is performed to create favorable conditions for the body to return to normal health after injury.

Remedial Massage at ToThePoint Massage

At ToThePoint Massage, we are devoted to providing this kind of thorough and professional assessment and individually tailor treatment plans for each and every client.  Whether one suffers from a chronic condition,  an acute injury,  or a mild to moderate pain level, every one of our clients receive the same specialized care.

Barbara, our massage therapist, has completed extensive training in remedial massage, sports injury massage, myotherapies, anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology and  has practiced since 2007 in New Zealand and Australia.

She is experienced in treating a wide variety of client concerns and is skilled at intentionally adjusting her therapeutic  approach  to align with client feedback and responses. 

Barbara's primary remedial massage goals are:

• reduction of pain,
• the improvement of soft tissue health and muscle condition,
• the release of muscle tension,
• the promotion of blood flow and lymph health
• minimization of scar tissue and adhesion discomfort,
  
• improved bone positioning and support, and
• education regarding correct body posture and carriage.

Remedial massage also boasts an impressive list of secondary benefits including:

• relaxation of over-extended or improperly used muscles,
• increased sense of mental well being and calm,
• heightened awareness of one’s body leading to improved self-care
• and, as some say, an experience of newfound levels of energy.
