What is Remedial Massage?

Remedial Massage is a hands-on, clinical approach to addressing soft tissue dysfunction or damage. It focuses on assessing and treating muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues to reduce pain and restore normal function. 

By targeting specific problem areas, this type of massage helps your body heal and return to its optimal state. Commonly used for injuries, muscle overuse, and posture issues, Remedial Massage alleviates pain and works as a preventative measure to stop problems before they start.

This massage therapy enhances blood flow, increases joint mobility, and accelerates the body’s natural healing processes. It’s particularly effective for treating back pain, which often results from muscle contractions or trigger points caused by poor posture, sports injuries, or overuse. Remedial Massage can ease these contractions through precise techniques, providing lasting pain relief.

    What is Myotherapy?

    Myotherapy is a natural therapy that specialises in assessing, treating, and managing pain related to soft tissue injury and restricted joint mobility. It addresses a range of neuromusculoskeletal conditions—including those affecting nerves, muscles, and joints—that arise from trauma, poor posture, muscle overload, or improper biomechanics.

    As a myotherapist, Matthew Fraser takes a holistic view of your health, considering physical, psychological, and occupational aspects to provide the most effective treatment. Various techniques may be used depending on where the pain is, how deep it lies, and what caused it. These include Myofascial Release, which targets the connective tissues to ease tension; Trigger Point Therapy, aimed at relieving tight muscle knots; Dry Needling or Musculoskeletal Dry Needling, which involves inserting fine needles into specific points to release muscle tightness; and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), which uses electrical impulses to alleviate pain.

    By identifying the root cause of your pain, Matthew can offer targeted treatment to reduce symptoms and prevent future issues, ensuring long-term relief and improved quality of life.

    Myotherapy vs. Remedial Massage: Which is Right for You?

    Choosing between Myotherapy and Remedial Massage depends on your specific needs and goals. Myotherapy is ideal for those who need a deeper assessment and targeted treatment of neuromusculoskeletal issues. If you’re dealing with a sports-related injury or chronic pain that stems from deeper muscular or joint problems. Myotherapy treatments may utilise different techniques, such as Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Dry Needling or Musculoskeletal Dry Needling, and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation).

    On the other hand, Remedial Massage is perfect for those seeking relief from muscular pain and tension. It’s often used to soothe muscle soreness, improve circulation, and promote relaxation, making it a great choice if you’re experiencing general muscle tightness or recovering from a minor injury.

    Ultimately, both therapies aim to alleviate pain and enhance your well-being, but Myotherapy digs a bit deeper into the underlying causes, while Remedial Massage offers a more immediate, surface-level solution. During your initial consultation, Matthew can help you decide which treatment will best suit your needs.
