At Bayside Chiropractic Collective, we believe in having a whole-body approach to improving your health and wellbeing. Remedial massage can be a great therapy when combined with chiropractic care to help boost your body’s healing. Remedial massage is the systematic assessment and treatment of the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues of the body to assist in rehabilitation, pain and injury management. It’s performed to create favourable conditions for the body to return to normal health after injury. A remedial therapist has knowledge in anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology to determine where to treat patients.

Reasons People Seek Massage:

Anxiety, Stress, and Sleep Issues

Massage therapy can significantly reduce psychological stress, alleviate anxiety, and improve symptoms of depression. It promotes relaxation and emotional wellbeing while enhancing sleep quality by encouraging the release of serotonin and melatonin. This makes massage a helpful option for managing stress-related insomnia.

Arthritis and Joint Pain

Massage offers short-term relief for arthritis-related pain by improving blood flow and relaxing the muscles around affected joints. It can temporarily enhance joint mobility and flexibility, providing relief from stiffness and discomfort.

Back, Neck, and Muscle Pain

Helpful for reducing back and neck pain, massage eliminates muscle tension, improves flexibility, and relieves tightness caused by poor posture, overuse, or stress. A range of techniques can be applied to address tight muscles and correct imbalances that lead to discomfort.

Chronic Pain and Myofascial Pain Syndrome

For those with chronic pain or myofascial pain syndrome, massage breaks the pain cycle by improving blood circulation, reducing muscle tightness, and releasing trigger points (muscle knots). Techniques like deep pressure massage are especially helpful in relieving referred pain and improving function.

Soft Tissue Injuries and Strains

Massage could help prevent injuries by increasing range of motion, maintaining healthy muscles and reducing fatigue.

Headaches

Studies have shown that remedial massage may be very beneficial in reducing tension-type headaches and chronic migraines. Not only could remedial massage help relieve pain, but it may also help decrease the duration, intensity, and frequency of headaches and minimise the chance of recurrence.
