Remedial Massage

Our Remedial Massage Therapy Services include deep tissue, sports massage, stretching, trigger point therapy, dry needling, myofascial cupping.

Therapeutic in nature and designed to heal particular health issues, muscle problems (and not to mention injuries) this treatment requires active participation from the client as the therapist will also perform muscle and range of motion testing.

  • • Stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed
    • Calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort
    • Reduced muscle tension
    • Reduces lower back pain
    • Improves limited mobility and helps recovery from injuries (e.g. whiplash, falls)

    Studies have shown that regular remedial massage consequently results in positive benefits for many health disorders and skeletal dysfunctions such as upper back or neck pain, sciatica, piriformis syndrome, and fibromyalgia.

Optional Treatment Inclusions

On some of our minesites any of our Remedial Massage Therapy Services can also have any of the below treatments added to the session at no additional cost.

Dry Needling

Dry Needling can be incorporated into your Remedial Massage appointment.

Also referred to as clinical or western acupuncture (but is in no way your traditional acupuncture), Dry Needling uses solid acupuncture needles to enter the skin and tissue below.

  • • Promotion of local healing

    • Reduction of pain

    • Restored muscle function

    • A calming effect and an improvement of well-being

  • • When using dry needling techniques for the treatment of trigger points, the therapist will palpate the target muscle for a taut band (or area of tense muscles) thereby confirming the trigger point that needs to be treated.

    • The needle is typically in a tube and it is fixed with the non-needling hand against the trigger point using a pincer grip or flat palpation depending on the location and orientation of the muscle. A palpation is when the therapist feels with their fingers or hands to pinpoint areas of tenderness. With the needling hand, the needle is gently loosened from the tube and the top of the needle is tapped or flicked by the therapist, allowing the needle to penetrate the skin.

    • With Dry Needling, the needle is guided toward the trigger point until the therapist feels resistance or notices that the patient has a local twitch response. A local twitch response is a spinal cord reflex that creates an involuntary contraction that can be triggered by a snapping palpitation or penetration with a needle. When the patient has an involuntary twitch response that suggests that the needle has hit the right spot.

    • When the needle has located the trigger point, as suggested by the local twitch response, the therapist will focus on this specific area or other neighbouring areas.

    • The needle can stay in place for a certain period of time or can be redirected back toward the layer of tissue directly under the skin without taking it out of the skin and then back towards the trigger point. This can continue for a few minutes until local twitch responses have stopped or the patient can no longer tolerate the needling at that site.

    • When the needle is withdrawn from the skin, pressure is then applied directly to the skin over the insertion in order to aid in the prevention of possible swelling or soreness.

  • Dry Needling is not acupuncture and too many times we hear people say it is.

    Yes, it is similar to acupuncture in the sense that we use acupuncture needles, but acupuncture treats the liver, spleen, meridian points and acupuncture points. Whereas dry needling is working specifically on soft tissue (muscle/Trigger Points) and treating muscular skeletal problems.

    Speak to your Remedial Massage Therapist about incorporating dry needling in to your next treatment.

Myofascial Cupping

Cupping can be incorporated into your Remedial Massage appointment.

  • Over time it was shown how effective cupping was for the muscles and muscular problems, moving from using animal horns, to bamboo cups, then glass, plastic and rubber cups.

    Today, Myofascial cupping is used to improve circulation, reduce tissue tension and stimulate the peripheral and autonomic nervous systems.

    Body Balance Health and Wellness use static cupping with a vacuum pump that keeps the cups on the skin in the same spot for 10mins. We also use fire cupping as a form of gliding cupping, which moves the cups along the skin and muscle for a more broad release.

    During a Remedial Massage your muscles are pushed down by the therapists, hands, fingers, forearms or elbows using a positive/downward pressure whereas cupping does the opposite. Cupping lifts and draws the muscle upwards using a negative/upwards pressure allowing the muscles to be stretched and relaxed.

    Myofascial cupping is just another modality to help get the muscles functioning back to functioning at its full capacity.

  • • Lower Back pain
    • Headaches
    • Neck stiffness
    • Arthritic problems
    • Shoulder injuries
    • Sport injuries
    • Stress and Fatigue

  • • Increased blood flow to the injured areas
    • Reduces fluid accumulation i.e. decreased oedema
    • Stretches the muscle tissue resulting in better Range of Movement
    • Gives relief for muscle and joint pain
    • Helps break down scar tissue from old injuries
    • Strengthens the immune system by promoting the flow of lymphatic fluid
    • Stimulates the nervous system, causing an increase of endorphins and a decrease in pain
    • Improves circulation to reduce inflammation

    This is just to name a few! Speak to your Remedial Massage Therapist about incorporating cupping in to your next treatment.

FIFO Massage Services

Do you have a company in the mining industry based on a remote site? You could bring Remedial Massage Therapy services to your camp site!

It can be hard for employees to work away for weeks at a time and receive no maintenance treatments on their bodies. Working away can also be mentally and physically tough, and as a company you want to support your employees as much as possible to keep them happy and reduce their risk of injuries.

  • A great way to ensure you reduce on-site injuries is to offer employees massage while they are at camp. Going weeks on end without any treatment on their bodies can make anyone’s body feel tired, stiff and in pain. Massage helps look after both the physical and mental health of employees.

    We can set up a massage room at your camp to ensure they have access to regular massage treatments to look after their bodies.

    There are a few ways we can do this, if you would like more information please contact us!
