Deep tissue massage is a remedial massage technique, so when you book in for a remedial massage your therapist will use deep tissue massage. You therapist may also use cupping and stretching in your treatment to release your tight and sore muscles and relieve pain and tension.

A “normal” or relaxation massage primarily aims to promote relaxation and general wellbeing through gentle techniques. At our Point Cook clinic we offer Remedial massage, by contrast, is more clinical and goal-oriented, focusing on identifying and treating specific injuries or chronic conditions to improve movement and reduce pain.

We recommend at least 3 weekly sessions, especially if coming in with a chronic complaint, then your therapist will assess your progress, but usually monthly maintenance sessions will be recommended.

While both massage therapy and myotherapy use hands-on techniques such as deep tissue massage, myotherapy uses additional techniques such as trigger point therapy, dry needling, and stretching to specifically target areas of muscle and soft tissue dysfunction. Myotherapists typically have more extensive training in anatomy, physiology, and musculoskeletal dysfunction than massage therapists.
