Our qualified therapists are here to assist your musculoskeletal needs.
Our remedial massage therapists at Elite Health and Performance are some of the best in the business here for your musculoskeletal needs. Remedial massage therapy is designed to get into the soft tissue structures and inflict a change or response aiding in releasing musculoskeletal tension or assisting in recovery. Massage therapy consists of primarily hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body specifically the muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue and joints for the purpose of optimizing health and performance.
Modern massage therapy techniques
Your Elite HP massage therapist will use their knowledge of physiology and anatomy to combine traditional Swedish and modern massage therapy techniques with other therapies such as dry needling, Active Release Technique, PNF stretching, Muscle Energy Technique, cupping and muscular rehabilitation. All of which are powerful tools to treat your injuries, mobility restrictions or musculoskeletal tension, whatever it may be.
What to expect?
If you are thinking of seeing one of our accredited Brisbane remedial massage therapists, they will first undertake a detailed history to identify your musculoskeletal requirements and outcome goals that you hope to gain from your treatment. From here your trained therapist will then run through a physical assessment including muscular palpation, strength tests and mobility evaluation.
What to expect?
At this point your remedial massage therapist will then discuss their findings with you and then be able to detail what tissue they believe is causing your pain and develop a plan on how to get this better and educate you on how to minimise aggravation to allow for fast recovery. Following this discussion your treatment will begin and they will use their considerably depth in knowledge of soft tissue techniques to get you the optimal results you’ve been looking for.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of remedial massage?
The benefits of massage therapy include relieving muscular tension, increasing joint mobility and improving blood and lymph circulation. Patients that come in for injury management may also see accelerated recovery results from massage therapy. Not only does remedial massage have physical effects on the body but it can also increase relaxation and assist with reducing stress.
How does remedial massage differ from regular massage?
Remedial massage is different from regular massage because it is designed to help with musculoskeletal conditions, injuries, or chronic issues. Remedial massage provides therapeutic benefits by focusing on these problem areas and helping them heal. Regular massage, on the other hand, is more about relaxation and overall feeling good without targeting specific problems as much.
What are the main techniques used by our therapist?
Our qualified remedial massage therapist will select techniques suitable for your condition, which can also be altered based on your preference. The main techniques used by your Elite HP therapist include traditional Swedish and modern massage therapy techniques along with Active Release Technique, dry needling, Muscle Energy Technique, cupping and muscle rehabilitation.

Studies have shown that remedial massage therapy can assist with a range of musculoskeletal conditions including: low back pain, neck pain, an ongoing headache, migraines, sciatica, tennis elbow, shoulder pain, shin splints, general muscular tension or muscle pain, and repetitive stress injuries. Research has also supported the use of massage therapy for psychological symptoms including anxiety, stress and depression.
