Relieve tension, reduce stress, recover sooner
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.
What Is Remedial Massage?
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.
