Remedial massage is a targeted form of massage therapy that focuses on understanding what’s contributing to muscle tension, pain, stiffness or changes in the way you move.
Rather than simply working on the area that feels sore, remedial massage looks at the bigger picture. Your therapist will consider how your muscles and surrounding tissues are functioning, where you may be holding tension and whether other areas of the body could be contributing to what you’re feeling.
Your treatment may include a variety of techniques depending on your individual needs. This can include deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, stretching, muscle release, joint mobilisation and other hands-on techniques. Where appropriate, your therapist may also incorporate techniques such as dry needling or cupping as part of your treatment. The techniques used will depend on what your therapist finds, what you’re comfortable with and how your body responds.
And while remedial massage can involve firmer pressure, deeper doesn’t always mean better. The aim isn’t to make a treatment as intense as possible, it’s about using the right techniques and the right amount of pressure to create a positive change in how your muscles and tissues feel and function.
Remedial massage can be useful whether you’re dealing with ongoing muscular tension, feeling the effects of work or everyday activities, recovering from training or sport, or simply noticing that your body isn’t moving or feeling quite as good as it normally does.
At My Body Clinic, every remedial massage is tailored to the individual. Your therapist will work with you to understand what’s bothering you and what you’d like to get out of your treatment, rather than following the same routine for everyone.
The overall goal is to reduce unnecessary tension, support better movement and help your body feel and function at its best.

Had an amazing experience with Mina! He was extremely professional and made me feel comfortable straight away. He worked through all the problem areas and I honestly felt so much better afterwards. What I really appreciated was that he didn’t just treat the issue—he explained what was going on, educated me throughout the session and worked out a proper plan moving forward. Highly recommend Mina!

Thanks to Emanuel for his patience and professionalism in taking the time to ask me the right questions to help diagnose my ongoing lower back pain. So far the treatment has been helping and in time I hope the pain is just a memory.

I visited my body clinic and saw Mina for the first time having an issue with back pain. After the first session, I felt so much better and noticed an improvement in my pain. Mina is amazing at what he does and definitely recommend my body clinic!

Mina is true professional and you can tell he’s been at the top of his profession for years. He has a plan to all his treatments and I always leave feeling 100 times better than when I walked in. Same goes with all the other therapists I’ve seen at MyBody Clinic too.

Can't recommend Emanuel enough! Especially for martial artists. I've been sporting a groin injury from my kicks for a few months, and I noticed an improvement within weeks of initially seeing him. I'm so grateful that I can now train without pain. I also really appreciated how Emanuel took the time to explain the nature of my injury and develop an exercise plan that he evolved as I got stronger.
