Remedial massage therapist working on a client’s upper back at Zelica HealthLand, West Melbourne

What is remedial massage?

Remedial massage is a focused, assessment-led style of massage. Rather than working through a set routine, your therapist asks about where you feel tight or restricted, looks at how you move, and then works on those specific muscles and soft tissues.

Pressure is usually firmer and more targeted than a relaxation massage, using techniques such as deep stripping, trigger-point work and stretching. Your therapist will check in on pressure throughout, so the session stays firm but comfortable.

Clients often book remedial massage for desk-related neck and shoulder tightness, lower back stiffness, or muscles that feel overworked from training or physical work.

What is the difference between remedial and deep tissue massage?

Remedial massage is assessment-led and targets specific problem areas, and it is claimable through HICAPS for eligible members. Deep tissue massage uses firm, slow pressure across larger areas of the body and is not a HICAPS service.

How long should my first remedial massage be?

Forty minutes suits one area, such as the neck and shoulders. Choose 60 minutes if you want two or three areas treated, or 90 minutes for a full-body session.

Will a remedial massage hurt?

It should feel firm, not painful. Your therapist checks in on pressure throughout and will ease off whenever you ask.

Do you offer cupping massage in Melbourne?

Yes. Remedial Massage with Cupping is available as a combined session at our West Melbourne centre, a few minutes from the Melbourne CBD. Cupping can leave round marks on the skin that usually fade within a few days.

Do you offer HICAPS or health fund rebate massage near me?

Yes. Remedial Massage and Myotherapy at Zelica HealthLand can be claimed on the spot with HICAPS if your extras cover includes them, so you only pay the gap. Your rebate depends on your fund and level of cover. We are at 287 Victoria Street, West Melbourne, a few minutes from the CBD, North Melbourne and Kensington.

How often should you get a remedial massage?

It depends on your body, your work and your goals. Some clients book every two to four weeks to stay on top of tightness, while others book as needed. Your therapist can suggest a rhythm that suits you.
