For the best remedial massage in Melbourne CBD, The Alignment Studio has your back (and neck, hammies, glutes…). A useful tool in the management and treatment of pain and muscular tension, massage is an important part of our holistic service offering, and something we consider a very necessary indulgence.
It’s not just about relaxation, either. With our increasingly sedentary lives (and device addiction!) giving rise to conditions like tech neck and Upper Crossed Syndrome, massage is more important than ever to counteract reduced mobility.
Also known as clinical massage, remedial massage involves treating soft tissue dysfunction through hands-on manipulation; ultimately working to rehabilitate, maintain and enhance the body’s natural mobility. At The Alignment Studio, we tailor each massage treatment to your needs, whether that’s untangling your knots after a stressful week, or working alongside our physios to speed up your post-injury recovery.
Aside from relieving muscular tension, remedial massage is known to improve circulation, enhance joint and muscle function, decrease pain, regulate neurohormones and assist with anxiety, tension headaches and insomnia, while encouraging relaxation and enhancing feelings of wellbeing.
The many benefits of remedial massage include:
Whether you’re a 9-to-9 desk worker or professional sportsperson, young or old, in prime health or chronically ill*, remedial massage can enhance your wellbeing. (*Please consult your doctor if you have a pre-existing medical condition, and make your condition known to your massage therapist before your treatment.)
Remedial massage is used to treat a range of symptoms and conditions, including:
The Alignment Studio’s remedial massage therapists work closely alongside our physiotherapists to treat clients holistically. Your massage therapist will assess you to determine the most suitable technique(s). Some of techniques commonly used by our therapists include:
