Remedial VS Myotherapy

Which treatment is right for you?

Remedial massage focuses on treating tight, sore or overworked muscles through hands on techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy and stretching. Treatment is tailored to how your body feels on the day and can be adjusted to suit your comfort level, whether you prefer firm pressure or something more gentle. Remedial massage is commonly used to relieve general muscle tension, support posture, manage work related aches and provide ongoing maintenance for active bodies.

Myotherapy takes a more assessment based and targeted approach, particularly for people experiencing persistent pain or recovering from injury. Your therapist will assess how muscles, joints and movement patterns are contributing to your symptoms, then develop a treatment plan specific to those findings. Sessions may include deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, dry needling, cupping, joint mobilisation and corrective exercises. Myotherapy often includes education and take home exercises to help support long term results and prevent the issue from returning.

If you’re unsure which treatment to book, you don’t need to have all the answers before your appointment. Our therapists are trained to assess your individual needs and will guide you toward the most appropriate treatment for your body and goals. In many cases, techniques from both remedial massage and myotherapy can be combined within a session to provide the best outcome.
