Restore
Remedial Massage
Targeted treatment for pain relief, injury support, and specific areas of tension.
Support for the areas that have been working hard
Remedial massage is designed to support areas of pain, tightness, restriction, or strain.
Each session is tailored to what is happening in your body on the day. This may include specific muscle tension, postural load, an injury, a flare-up, or the kind of ongoing discomfort that builds slowly over time.
Treatment begins with a brief consultation and simple movement checks to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms. From there, your therapist will use focused hands-on techniques to support recovery, reduce tension, and improve how the area feels and moves.
RESTORE is practical, targeted and responsive. The aim is to help your body feel clearer, more comfortable and better supported.
Some of the reasons people seek this work include...
• Persistent muscle tension that does not seem to ease on its own.
• Neck, shoulder, back, hip, glute, or leg discomfort.
• Pain or restriction from work, training, parenting, posture, or repetitive movement.
• Recovery support after injury or increased physical load.
• Headaches or upper body tension linked to neck, jaw, or shoulder patterns.
• General body maintenance when certain areas regularly feel tight, overloaded, or restricted.
• A need for focused treatment rather than full-body relaxation massage.
Who is this treatment for?
RESTORE is suitable for clients experiencing pain, tightness, injury, restriction, or ongoing areas of muscular tension.
It can support short-term concerns, such as a flare-up or recent strain, as well as longer-term patterns that need regular care.
This treatment may be suitable for:
• Injury management and recovery support.
• Persistent muscle tightness.
• Postural strain.
• Neck, shoulder, back, hip, glute, or leg tension.
• Work-related or repetitive movement discomfort.
• Ongoing body maintenance.
If your concern requires assessment or treatment outside the scope of remedial massage, referral options can be discussed.
What to expect
-
Your session begins with a brief consultation.
You will be asked what has brought you in, where you are feeling pain or tension, how long it has been present, and what movements or activities seem to affect it.
Simple movement checks may be used to help guide treatment and understand how the area is functioning.
-
Treatment is tailored to your presentation and goals.
Depending on what your body needs, your session may include focused soft tissue work, trigger point therapy, myofascial techniques, stretching, joint movement, cupping, or other remedial techniques.
Pressure is always adapted to your comfort. Remedial massage does not need to be painful to be effective.
Your therapist will check in throughout the session so the treatment feels clear, responsive and appropriate for your body.
-
After treatment, you may feel lighter, looser, more mobile, or more aware of the area that has been worked with.
Some post-treatment tenderness can be normal, especially after focused remedial work. This usually settles within a day or two.
You may be given simple aftercare or movement suggestions to support the treatment at home.

FAQ
-
No.
Remedial massage can support injuries, but it is also helpful for ongoing tension, postural strain, muscular tightness, restricted movement, and general body maintenance.
-
The initial RESTORE appointment is 60 minutes on purpose.
Your first session includes time to talk through what has brought you in, your health history, and what you are noticing in your body. This may also include simple movement checks so your therapist can better understand what may be contributing to your symptoms.
This part matters. Sometimes remedial massage is a great fit. Sometimes your concern may need a different kind of support, or care from another practitioner alongside massage. If that comes up, it will be discussed with you clearly and respectfully.
The rest of your appointment is used for focused hands-on treatment, guided by your presentation and what feels most helpful on the day.
-
Remedial massage can feel firm or specific, but it should still feel manageable.
Pressure is adapted to your comfort, and you can ask for it to be changed at any point. The aim is effective treatment, not pushing through pain.
-
The remedial massage therapists at Restored Massage Therapy are registered with all private health providers for remedial massage rebates.
Rebate eligibility depends on your individual extras cover, so please check directly with your health insurer if you are unsure.

-
This depends on what is happening in your body.
Some people book remedial massage for a specific concern over a short period of time. Others come regularly for maintenance, especially if their work, training, or day-to-day life places repeated load on the body.
Your therapist can talk this through with you during your session.
