1. What is remedial massage and how does it help with painful conditions?

​

Remedial massage is a therapeutic technique designed to alleviate pain and address musculoskeletal issues. Unlike general relaxation massages, remedial massage focuses on specific areas of pain or dysfunction. At Kingscliff Health Studio, our experienced therapist, Meagan, uses targeted techniques to address the root causes of your discomfort. This includes deep tissue work, stretching, and joint mobilisation, which help to relieve pain, improve function, and promote overall healing.

​

2. What kinds of conditions can remedial massage treat?

​

Remedial massage is effective for a variety of painful conditions and injuries, including:

• Back Pain: Often caused by poor posture, muscle strain, or injury, back pain can be debilitating. Remedial massage at Kingscliff Health Studio helps by releasing muscle tension, improving spinal alignment, and enhancing blood flow to the affected areas.

• Neck Pain: Neck pain can result from tension, poor posture, or whiplash. Meagan’s specialized techniques target tight muscles and reduce inflammation, helping to restore mobility and alleviate discomfort.

• Shoulder Pain: Conditions like rotator cuff injuries or impingement syndrome can cause significant pain and limited movement. Remedial massage works to relieve muscle tension, improve shoulder function, and reduce pain.

• Sports Injuries: Whether you’ve experienced a sprain, strain, or overuse injury, remedial massage assists in recovery by reducing pain, enhancing flexibility, and preventing future injuries through improved muscle condition.

• Headaches and Migraines: Many headaches and migraines are linked to muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. By addressing these areas, remedial massage can alleviate pain and reduce the frequency of headaches.

3. Why does remedial massage help with pain relief?

​

Remedial massage helps with pain relief through several key mechanisms:

• Improving Blood Flow: Enhanced circulation helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues, promoting faster healing and reducing pain.

• Reducing Muscle Tension: By relaxing tight muscles, remedial massage decreases pressure on nerves and joints, which can alleviate pain and discomfort.

• Promoting Lymphatic Drainage: This helps to remove toxins and reduce inflammation, which contributes to pain relief and supports recovery.

• Releasing Endorphins: These natural painkillers help to improve your overall sense of well-being and reduce the perception of pain

​​​​​​​​​​4. What should I look for when choosing a remedial massage therapist?
