Have you heard of the term “Psychosomatic“.  To explain by definition in the Oxford Medical Dictionary – Relating to or involving both the mind and body.  Usually applied to illness or pain that are caused by the interaction of mental and physical factors.

To briefly explain the benefit of combining these two treatments is to help release pain you may be experiencing in your body that may relate to your emotions, past events, traumas or current life stresses.  The remedial massage releases the physical pain held in the body and the psychotherapy can help you release any emotional attachments being stored in your body.

Psychotherapy is a therapy technique utilised by Clinical Hypnotherapists that can be delivered in both conscious and sub-conscious mind.  The treatment explores your unconscious thoughts and emotional patterning helping us gain greater insight.  We then together develop effective coping strategies.  We may utilise techniques from resource therapy, NLP, CBT to guide you to finding what is needed for you personally.  Very tailored and personalised techniques which will change with each treatment as required.

Remedial massage targets specific areas of need.  Remedial / Sports massage is tailored and modified to whatever your body needs to recover.
Remedial / Sports massage is considered a deep tissue treatment.  Treatment may focus the entire hour on the upper half of the body or the lower half of the body depending on current circumstances.

If you are wanting to claim private health for remedial massage it is important that you understand what a remedial massage treatment involves.

Definition of Remedial Massage directly from Medibank 

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.

Remedial massage aims to reduce or eliminate pain, and restore normal function of  muscles and joints.  It can help joint mobility and flexibility, stimulate the lymphatic system and promote blood flow, particularly to injured areas.

How is remedial massage different to other types of massage?

There are many different types of massage, many primarily for relaxation or enjoyment including therapeutic massages, aromatherapy massages, hot stone massages.

In contrast, remedial massage is focussed on treating a particular injury or condition through massage and stretching.

What to expect from a remedial massage appointment?

Before any remedial massage treatments begins, your therapist should perform a thorough consultation and assessment to figure out the best treatment for your injury or condition.

To claim a benefit using Medibank Extras, your therapist must develop a specific treatment plan for your injury or condition.  This treatment plan forms the basis of the clinical notes, which must be taken by the therapist at each consultation.

Techniques and assessments used in remedial massage may include:

• Myofascial Release Techniques
• Muscle Energy Techniques
• Trigger Point Therapy
• Lymphatic Drainage Techniques
• Range of Movement Assessments (ROM)

A myofascial trigger point is a point in a taut band of skeletal muscle.  Trigger points are produced by muscle stress, such as overwork, repetitive motion, or sudden excessive stretch.
During the remedial / sports massage treatment testing may be required throughout the treatment to check if pain has reduced or range of movement (ROM) improved.
