Remedial massage focuses on treating musculoskeletal issues and is more targeted than relaxation massage. It involves assessment, deeper pressure, and specific techniques to address pain or dysfunction. Relaxation massage, on the other hand, is designed primarily for stress relief and general relaxation.
Some discomfort can occur during deep tissue techniques, especially when working on tight or inflamed muscles. However, your therapist will always work within your pain tolerance and communicate with you throughout the session. Many people experience significant relief after just one treatment.
Yes, remedial massage is often covered by private health insurance if performed by a registered therapist. Be sure to check your level of cover and bring your health fund card, as we can process on-the-spot rebates for eligible providers.
Frequency depends on your specific condition, activity level, and goals. Some clients benefit from weekly or fortnightly treatments during acute phases, while others maintain monthly sessions for ongoing support and prevention.
