Massage in Salamander Bay
Serving Nelson Bay, Port Stephens and surrounds
At Bayside Chiropractic Collective, we believe in having a whole-body approach to improving your health and wellbeing. Remedial massage can be a great therapy when combined with chiropractic care to help boost your body’s healing.
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. It’s performed to create favourable conditions for the body to return to normal health after injury.
Help to Eliminate Pain, Naturally
If a patient has suffered a moderate injury resulting in structural pain and/or loss of function, then remediation is required to reduce or eliminate pain and restore that function.
A remedial therapist has knowledge in anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology to determine where to treat patients.
Your first visit will include a thorough consultation and assessment with our remedial massage therapist. We will be able to ascertain your current health status and areas of concern that you wish to improve.
If you’re a good candidate for remedial massage therapy, we can then apply the relevant and appropriate treatment at your first visit.
Here are some of the many conditions that massage therapy can successfully address:
Anxiety, Stress, and Sleep Issues
Massage therapy can significantly reduce psychological stress, alleviate anxiety, and improve symptoms of depression. It promotes relaxation and emotional wellbeing while enhancing sleep quality by encouraging the release of serotonin and melatonin. This makes massage a helpful option for managing stress-related insomnia.
Arthritis and Joint Pain
Massage offers short-term relief for arthritis-related pain by improving blood flow and relaxing the muscles around affected joints. It can temporarily enhance joint mobility and flexibility, providing relief from stiffness and discomfort.
Back, Neck, and Muscle Pain
Helpful for reducing back and neck pain, massage eliminates muscle tension, improves flexibility, and relieves tightness caused by poor posture, overuse, or stress. A range of techniques can be applied to address tight muscles and correct imbalances that lead to discomfort.
Chronic Pain and Myofascial Pain Syndrome
For those with chronic pain or myofascial pain syndrome, massage breaks the pain cycle by improving blood circulation, reducing muscle tightness, and releasing trigger points (muscle knots). Techniques like deep pressure massage are especially helpful in relieving referred pain and improving function.
Soft Tissue Injuries and Strains
Massage could help prevent injuries by increasing range of motion, maintaining healthy muscles and reducing fatigue.
Headaches
Studies have shown that remedial massage may be very beneficial in reducing tension-type headaches and chronic migraines. Not only could remedial massage help relieve pain, but it may also help decrease the duration, intensity, and frequency of headaches and minimise the chance of recurrence.
