Remedial Massage
Supporting with compassion, skill and real-world advice
Looking for Remedial Massage in Flinders? Whether you are increasing your load at the gym, rounds on the golf course or have had a tight knot in the shoulder you cannot get rid of - you are in the right place.
What is Remedial Massage?
If your muscles feel tight, overworked, or just need some care, remedial massage can help. We focus on soft tissue work – releasing muscle tension, improving circulation, supporting recovery, and helping your body feel better. Whether it's chronic tightness from desk work, sore muscles from training, tension headaches, pregnancy discomfort, or stress that's settled into your shoulders and neck, we use targeted massage techniques to address what's bothering you. Remedial massage is ideal when you're increasing your training load, starting a new exercise program, managing persistent muscular tension, or need consistent hands-on care for ongoing tightness. It's also great for pre and post-event sports massage, supporting your rehab alongside osteo or physio treatment, and general stress relief. Whatever's brought you here – whether it's tight muscles that won't release, training recovery support, or you just need to feel less wound up – we'll work with your body to help you feel looser, more relaxed and moving better.
Tell me more about remedial, what is the training?
If your muscles feel tight, you're managing training recovery, dealing with tension from work or stress, or need soft tissue support alongside your osteo or physio treatment, that's where remedial massage helps. It's targeted hands-on treatment focused on releasing muscular tension and helping your body feel better.
Remedial massage therapists complete accredited training in anatomy, physiology and therapeutic massage techniques. Our qualified therapists are recognized by health funds and work within professional standards to provide safe, effective soft tissue treatment for muscular complaints. They are also covered by many private health companies.
Remedial Vs Relaxation massage:
Remedial massage is treatment-focused. We assess your complaint, target specific problem areas, and use therapeutic techniques to address muscular tension, pain or injury. Pressure is tailored to what your tissues need – sometimes firmer, sometimes gentler. It's about getting results.
Relaxation massage is exactly what it sounds like – gentle, flowing massage designed to help you unwind and de-stress. No assessment, no problem-solving, just soothing techniques to relax your entire body and mind.
What To Expect:
We'll take time to understand your complaint, health background, and lifestyle so we can understand why something is giving you the pain or tightness you experience. We then will select soft tissue techniques appropriate and safe for you.
History and About YOU
1
Expect assessment of your movement, your muscle tension with a heavy emphasis on palpation. There will be gentle assessment of factors like fluid retention, muscle tightness and posture .
Examination
2
Your therapist will then use a range of soft tissue and fluid lymphatic maneuvers to gentle (or firmly) stretch and mobilize your muscles.
Treatment
3
Sometimes we do need some regular amount of 'tune-up' massage to help with unavoidable tensions in our day to day life. You therapist will discuss ergonomics, posture and work on a plan to manage your symptoms. But don't fear, we have a number or people who see us now and then, so there is no pressure.

Therapy with added care
Your time and comfort matter to us. We use efficient systems - including a detailed new patient form - so we can prepare for your visit and understand your health history before you arrive. This helps us tailor the space, adapt to your needs, and ensure you feel supported from the moment you arrive.
We also value what you are looking for in a therapist- empathy, accountability, or simply honest guidance. Our care is focused on you.
More than just manual therapy
Hands-on massage therapy is central to what we do, but good care often goes beyond the treatment table. For some that means exercise guidance, self-care strategies, or creating a sensory-appropriate environment that feels safe.
Tegan brings particular warmth to working with neurodiverse clients. She understands sensory sensitivities, respects communication preferences, and adapts her approach so everyone feels comfortable – whether that means adjusted lighting, minimal conversation, or gentler techniques.
