There is more to remedial massage than meets the eye. Remedial massage is a scientific treatment of the muscles to relieve pain, treat and prevent soft tissue injury, maintain the whole health of the body and boost emotional and mental wellbeing. Remedial massage is known to:

  • Improve general health through increased blood flow

  • Release toxins

  • Treat and improve soft tissue ailments such as: tight/aching muscles, tendonitis, muscle/fascia/connective tissue strains and chronic tightness caused through overuse

  • Aid and improve digestion

  • Increase joint mobility

  • Help relieve neck pain and headaches

Using a combination of deep, gentle and sustained release techniques we can bring you the results that you have been looking for.

Remedial Massage

Remedial means ‘giving or intended as a remedy or cure’.

Remedial massage incorporates a series of techniques to relieve the recipient of pain, discomfort, joint immobility and mental stress. Techniques include effleurage (stroking), kneading, deep transverse friction, trigger point therapy, passive movement and stretching. Elements of reflexology may also be used during treatment.

Trigger Point Therapy

A trigger point is a tender spot found at a neuromuscular junction usually caused by muscle strain due to conditions such as poor posture or injury.

Referred pain and localised twitching may be felt when sustained pressure is applied to the trigger point but this usually eases as it releases.

Once released, the corresponding muscle pattern can relax due to increased blood flow and lengthening of the muscle fibres. This technique is used throughout the massage treatment where applicable.

Pregnancy Massage

Massage during pregnancy can help relieve associated discomfort in the pelvis and lower back. Pregnancy massage can help to alleviate tight, aching legs and feet and swollen ankles and specialised pregnancy pads are used for comfort and support.

Unless otherwise advised by your primary health practitioner, pregnancy massage is safe during all trimesters.

Sports Massage

Sports massage involves the treatment and rehabilitation of sports related injuries and conditions such as overuse and strain injuries.

Sports massage can also help prevent injury by improving circulation and muscle tensility (ability to stretch without tearing). It can aid recovery time and boost mental wellbeing. Sports massage tends to be more directly focused on areas on and around the presenting issue.

Teenager Massage

Massage for teenagers can be beneficial in many ways by bringing relief to tight and aching muscles that are overused in sports. It can also help to prevent injury by loosening ligaments and tendons, increasing flexibility and creating positive body awareness by being in a safe and nurturing environment.

Teenager massages are also a great form of stress relief from the demands of study, school and the general social pressures of being a teenager.

Testimonials

I have been attending Janelle’s Remedial Massage Therapy since 2005 Over this time, I have had numerous ruptured ligaments, torn muscles, fractures and broken bones from sport and other causes. In combination with ongoing remedial massage, rehabilitation and stretching, I have been able to avoid all surgeries that have been recommended as short cut solutions, and as a result I can continue to pursue active and physical activities. I can recommend Janelle as the key part of this healing process and keeps me on track when I often lose focus from work and other commitments as health and well being is everything.

Cindy, Ramsgate

I’ve been seeing Janelle for 10 years, and she’s amazing! From day one, she understood exactly what I needed and tailored her treatments perfectly. Thanks to her, I feel so much better and have found relief from chronic back pain. Janelle is such a caring and nurturing person and always makes me feel comfortable and welcomed at every treatment. I have often needed an urgent treatment and she is always so accommodating. I can't recommend her enough!

Lana, Cronulla

I visit Janelle almost every month and have done so for the past 15 years. She has helped me tremendously with sports injuries over the years and has also found solutions to problems even the doctors couldn’t find. She is truly skilled beyond words and a wealth of knowledge. Despite going to Janelle for remedial massage, I always make sure I get her famous scalp massage to soothe my day.
