Remedial Massage in Port Melbourne

Targeted soft-tissue treatment, a short trip from Bay Street

Remedial massage is skilled, therapeutic work on the body’s soft tissue, muscle, the fascia that binds it and the ligaments, used to settle musculoskeletal pain, correct postural strain and support recovery from injury. Port Melbourne borders our home suburb, so the clinic is only a short trip up the road from Bay Street and the foreshore.

Everything here is geared towards complaints that have dug in: the recurring ache, the tension that will not release on its own. That is a different job from a one-off unwind, and it shapes how a session is run.

The techniques we reach for

Treatment is matched to your particular problem, and may include:

• Trigger point therapy: precise pressure into the taut, tender bands within a muscle, restoring their length and blood supply.
• Myofascial release: working through restriction in the fascia, the body-wide web of connective tissue, to return freedom of movement.
• Cupping: light suction that decompresses tissue instead of compressing it, drawing fresh circulation to the area.
• Prescribed stretching: a short home routine so the gains made on the table are not lost by the next morning.

Who it suits

• Port Melbourne locals who walk, run or ride the Bay Trail and keep tightening through the legs and hips.
• Desk-bound workers carrying the day in their neck and shoulders.
• Anyone whose pain has settled in and refused to lift with rest.
