Targeted, therapeutic massage that goes deeper than surface-level relief.
One of the oldest forms of healing in human history, massage uses pressure, friction, vibration and stretching to relieve stress and tension in muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, skin and connective tissue. Remedial massage takes that further: it’s a therapeutic approach aimed at a specific problem — the shoulder that won’t loosen, the calf that keeps tightening, the neck that seizes up by Thursday afternoon.
What is Remedial Massage?
How It Works
Rather than relying on force, your therapist works with slow, purposeful technique to reach the deeper layers of muscle and fascia where chronic tension tends to settle. Depending on what you need, that might mean deep tissue work, trigger point release, sports massage technique, myofascial work or gentler pregnancy-safe positioning. Your therapist assesses first, treats second, and adjusts pressure throughout based on your feedback.
How Remedial Massage May Help
- Easing chronic muscular tension and stubborn knots
- Supporting recovery after injury or heavy training loads
- Improving flexibility and range of motion
- Relieving postural tightness through the neck, shoulders and lower back
- Reducing the physical tension that builds up under stress
- Supporting circulation and the body's natural recovery processes

What to Expect During Your Session
No two bodies are the same. Some people want firm, deep pressure; others need a lighter touch to get the same result. Every session is shaped around your goals and your comfort level, starting with a thorough intake at your first visit and regular check-ins throughout. If something doesn’t feel right, say so — your therapist would far rather adjust than have you grit your teeth through it.
Why Choose True Health?
Qualified Massage Therapists
Our therapists hold Diplomas of Remedial Massage and bring genuine clinical focus to their work, from sports therapy and deep tissue to pregnancy and post-natal care. Several speak languages other than English — including Polish, Portuguese, French and German — so you can be treated in the language you’re most comfortable in.
Lasting Results
Massage works best over time. With regular care you can recover more comfortably, keep everyday tension in check, and make bodywork part of your routine rather than a last resort when something has already gone wrong.
