Massage Gold Coast

Remedial massage can be used to address issues such as aches, pains, sports injuries, tightness of muscles and rehabilitation. Most common conditions include neck & shoulder pain, headaches, back pain, sciatica, anxiety and stress.

The practitioner will diagnose and test for any conditions you may have. Treatment techniques may include deep-tissue massage, trigger-point therapy, myofascial release, cupping, dry needling and more. Your remedial massage therapist will aim to stimulate the blood supply, make joints more mobile, and help to repair damaged tissues. The therapist will aim to balance the length, tone and tension of muscles and tendons, which can restore the correct position of the bones, increase blood flow and help to heal injuries.

Massage is widely recognised as a common form of alternative health and most health funds do offer rebates in there extra’s coverage. However, you will need to confirm your specific plan with your provider. If you do have Massage covered with your health insurance, we are able to offer you the rebate in the clinic so you only pay the gap!

The name ‘trigger point massage’ refers to the fact that pain is triggered by inflammation or trauma in another area of the body.If the muscles are tight and sore for injury then trigger point therapy may be uncomfortable, when the massage therapist applies the pressure to the applicable trigger points. Qualified massage therapists will know how to apply sufficient pressure without overstimulating the trigger point. Some massage therapists will work around the problem area first before using trigger point massage to relieve and release the problem. This ensures you’ve released all related muscle groups, and makes for a gentler approach.

Remedial massage works on injuries and rehabilitation, using soft tissue techniques like stretching, trigger point therapy and sports massage, among others, to relieve stress, muscle stiffness and headaches, and to assist the body’s natural healing ability. Massage therapy involves gentle kneading, tapping and flowing strokes to relieve tense muscles, stress and improve circulation, it is more relaxing and doesn’t necessarily target specific conditions.

Nothing beats a soothing massage to relieve achy muscles and a weary mind after a long, exhausting day. 1-hour massage is $90, which can be claimed with your health fund on the spot, so you only pay the gap!
