What is Remedial Massage Therapy?
Massage techniques date back to early civilization and have been utilized for a variety of purposes.
Today the therapeutic benefits of remedial massage are well accepted with specific techniques continuing to develop throughout the westernized societies.
Remedial Massage involves direct hand contact or "hands on skin". It is a technique that involves the manual manipulation of the soft tissues of the body.

Soft tissue Massage
Soft tissue Massage involves direct physical action on the soft tissues of the body.
Soft Tissue massage target structures including the muscles, tendons, ligaments, or other connective tissue such as fascia. The best known example of a soft tissue technique is massage. Soft tissue massage techniques include a whole range of massage depths, pressures and durations.
Relaxation Massage
Relaxation massage is a smooth, gentle, flowing style that promotes general relaxation, relieves muscular tension, plus improves circulation and range of movement. Nothing fits better with the Gold Coast lifestyle than a soothing, relaxing, and rejuvenating massage.
Your therapist will aim to relax, revive and rejuvenate you at a massage depth that does not cause discomfort.
Swedish massage is probably the best known form of relaxation massage.
While relaxation massage is wonderful for you, it is less effective than the deeper styles for changing soft tissue tension. We normally recommend deeper styles when you are suffering pain and leave relaxation for when you just want to.... Relax!
Sports massage
Sports massage is treatment given with the understanding not only of anatomy and physiology but also of the particular demands placed upon the body by the client and their specific sport.
Sports massage is done with the principal mandate of returning you to your desired sports activity with the same or an even better level of function. Sports massages can include more aggressive techniques that approach muscles more deeply.
Sports massage will often utilize a variety of modalities such as remedial massage, trigger point therapy, cross fibre techniques and deep tissue work. Primarily though, the difference lies with function. That is, returning you to your chosen activity in optimal functional.

- Effleurage
