Remedial Massage

Written By YS Physio Team

Massage at YS Physio is performed by our lovely massage therapist, Rylee. Massage can be used as a complementary treatment to physiotherapy, a mode of recovery from sport/exercise, a way to help de-stress from work or as a thoughtful gift to someone!

Rylee is skilled in many different types of massage, including:

– Remedial: The most common and typical form of massage. Using classic massage strokes working on soft tissues of the body, aimed at reducing stress, tension or tightness. Perfect as a de-stressor from life or as a gift!

– Sports massage: Used as a mode of recovery for athletes, weekend warriors, and everyone in between. Sports massage is great for reducing the post exercise soreness you may feel after a hard workout or event. 

– Deep tissue: Slower, firmer, strokes are used to put extra pressure on soft tissue structures deep under the skin. This form of massage is great, however some post-treatment soreness may be experienced – which is completely normal!

Neck pain is a broad condition that may occur acutely (e.g. pain for a short period of time), or present for a longer period of time (e.g. recurrent condition with repeated episodes).
