Frequently Asked Questions

What is remedial massage, and how does it differ from relaxation massage?
Remedial massage is a targeted therapy aimed at treating musculoskeletal pain, injuries, and chronic conditions. Unlike relaxation massage, which focuses on general stress relief, remedial massage involves a thorough assessment to identify specific issues and applies techniques like deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release to address them.
Can remedial massage help with sports injuries and performance?
Yes, remedial massage is beneficial for athletes and active individuals. It aids in recovery from sports-related injuries, reduces muscle tension, improves flexibility, and can enhance overall performance by addressing muscle imbalances and promoting efficient movement patterns.
Is remedial massage suitable for managing chronic pain conditions?
Absolutely. Remedial massage can be an effective component in managing chronic pain conditions such as lower back pain, neck stiffness, and tension headaches. By targeting specific muscle groups and improving circulation, it helps alleviate pain and improve mobility.
Can I claim remedial massage through my private health insurance?
Yes, remedial massage is often covered under private health insurance extras. At Roar Physiotherapy, we offer HICAPS facilities for on-the-spot claims with all major health funds.
What should I expect during my first remedial massage session?
Your first session will begin with a consultation to discuss your health history, current concerns, and treatment goals. The therapist will then perform an assessment to identify areas of tension or dysfunction and tailor the massage techniques accordingly. Post-treatment advice may also be provided to support your recovery.
