How Does a Remedial Massage Help You?
As well as assisting in the treatment of the above conditions, remedial massage has a positive impact on the following various systems of your body.
Circulatory and Lymphatic Systems Effects of Remedial Massage
- Encourages Blood flow to tissue
- Stimulates the Circulatory System
These two systems work together and massage assists in reducing pain and swelling through increasing lymphatic flow and activity.
Muscular System Effects from a Remedial Massage

Relaxation and release of overused muscles
Reducing Spasm and muscular cramping

Endocrine/Hormonal Effects from Remedial Massage
Massage can promote a decrease in cortisol, which is produced when we experience pain and stress. Massage also promotes an increased level of serotonin and dopamine, which improves your mood, relaxation, and assists in relieving pain. This can also have a follow-on effect by reducing anxiety while enhancing sleep, concentration and energy levels.
Effects on your Joints from Remedial Massage
Remedial massage can increase joint range of motion and assist in increasing joint strength and stabilisation. It does this by reducing tension in the surrounding muscle tissue fibers. This assists with freedom of range of movement at and around the joint.
What`s the Best Timing for a Remedial Massage?
Massage for chronic, long-standing conditions can be performed at any time. Ideally, your massage should have an appropriate treatment schedule to promote mobility and improved function and to reduce the discomfort from painful, problematic areas.
For acute or recent injuries, remedial massage can indicated 3-5 days following an injury and after rest and ice therapy has been performed to reduce and minimise any inflammation and swelling. If you have an acute injury it may be more beneficial to consult one of our Physiotherapists or Podiatrists for assessment prior to any remedial treatment.
How Often Should I Have a Remedial Massage and How Long For?
How Often Should I Have a Remedial Massage and How Long For?
Like many aspects to life, consistency is key! You are going to gain the most benefit from your massages by having them regularly. Whist one massage will provide you with short term benefits and relief, it isn’t uncommon to not experience long-lasting effects from a single treatment. Regular massages can provide longer-lasting benefits and can help assist chronic conditions.
For individuals with high activity, aggravators or stress levels, weekly or fortnightly treatments will be most beneficial. While general maintenance looks at treatments every 4-6 weeks to allow for an optimal level of functioning. This will differ amongst clients as lifestyle, schedules and physical requirements are all factors that must be considered when booking in at Inertia.
We offer 30-minute, 45-minute, 60-minute and 90-minute treatment times. Duration and types of techniques used in your massage treatment will be discussed upon initial consultation. You can take assurance at Inertia your remedial massage treatment will be tailored to best suit your needs and requirements.
Remedial Massage Techniques
There are a variety of different massage techniques that massage therapists will use to assist in achieving the goals of alleviating your muscular aches and pains.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points are areas in muscles that have become hypersensitive and often contracted to form small “knots” in the muscle. These little guys can be quite sensitive to touch and can be sources of pain. When these knots or trigger points are present the muscle has often shortened and become dysfunctional, this can lead to further more severe injury if left untreated. Often trigger points will refer pain to other areas of the body or at times pain in certain areas can be due to trigger points in muscles in corresponding areas. This is called referred pain. Treatment of these areas involves a deep sustained pressure on the trigger points and stretching of the muscles, heat can also be assistive.
Sports Massage
This form of massage is more tailored to sporting injuries and ailments, sports massage, however, is not limited to professional sporting but anyone that is active. Sports massage is not meant to be relaxing it can use different strokes, pressures and can be quite vigorous at times. Sports Massage is a technique that can be utilised both pre event to enhance performance and post-event or competition massage to aid recovery. Sports massage is designed to prevent and relieve injuries associated with exercise and training, it helps increase endurance and performance whilst at the same time reducing recovery time.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage has a key focus on the deeper layers of muscle fibres, and is performed by using specific compression and friction strokes along the muscle to loosen up muscle tension. This form of massage therapy is great at releasing toxins from the muscle tissue, encouraging blood and oxygen to circulate. Deep tissue massage also can be used for myofascial release and has a both corrective and therapeutic effect and can be used for a variety of sports injuries and a lot of muscular pain conditions.
Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage consists of specialised techniques to locate and repair local muscle tissue damage as well as using the body’s own systems to assist in repair mechanisms. These massage treatments are individualised to each client and can be gentle, firm or strong, deep or shallower to achieve the desired result.
Swedish / Relaxation Massage
Swedish massage and relaxation massage involves a series of varying techniques to apply pressure to muscles in the direction of flow of blood returning to the heart. It is relaxing and invigorating and is used to encourage the release of toxins from the muscles. It is beneficial in dealing with stress, both emotional and physical and can be utilised as part of an ongoing maintenance program for everyone.
Muscle Stretching
Numerous stretching techniques have been developed to enhance massage therapy and produce successful outcomes for clients. Active, passive and restricted stretches can help clients increase their tissue range of motion. Further isolated stretches or muscle energy techniques like PNF stretching and hold-relax stretches can assist neuromuscular inhibition, flexibility and mobility.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a less invasive technique that doesn’t produce referral pain the same way as trigger points. With a focus on tension and pressure, myofascial release looks at returning the body as close as possible, back to a balanced and structured alignment. This allows for greater flexibility, increasing one’s range of motion. It helps lengthen contracted tissue, reduces fascial adhesions, decreases compartment pressure and helps to restore elasticity in the muscle.
Temperature Massage Therapies
Ice and heat therapy can be used in conjunction with other types of techniques in massage.
The use of heat or thermotherapy is primarily used to help pain relief and psychological relaxation. It accelerates tissue metabolism, increases vasodilation allowing more efficient blood flow and reduces viscosity of synovial fluid.
The use of ice massage, ice sprays or packs are sometimes used in trigger point therapy. It helps increase the range of movement through the joints, alleviates temporary pain and helps reduce inflammation in tissue.
Your Massage therapist will work with you to identify the best techniques to use on you in your massage to allow for the best results specific to you.
