Active Solutions Physios know that a Remedial Massage Therapist is the most superior massage therapist qualification.
They can massage with techniques that have a targeted approach and are aimed at musculoskeletal problems. This is very different to a general massage therapist, whose style is typically general, gentle and usually for simply promoting relaxation.
Have you ever felt muscle tension in your shoulders building up, giving you jaw pain, neck pain and headaches. Only to go to a shopping centre drop in massage and walk out very disappointed. When what you needed was someone who knew what they were doing, so you would actually get relief?
In Australia, a Remedial Massage Therapist, completes formal, nationally recognised training that typically takes 12-18 months. The training covers anatomy, assessment, pathology and clinical reasoning – it goes well beyond basic relaxation massage. Therefore, due to the high level of training and expertise, insurance companies offer private health insurance rebates only for qualified Remedial Massage Therapists.
Active Solutions Physiotherapy has the luxury of having Sharon, one of the most experienced Remedial Massage therapists in Perth, working onsite. She is the perfect partner for Physiotherapy as
- Remedial Massage can loosen tight muscles, improve movement and reduce trigger point pain. When muscles are more relaxed after Remedial massage, Physiotherapists can assess movement and joint mechanics better, and focus more on exercise and rehabilitation
- Sharon has more time to really release trigger points and muscle tightness that may be causing a lot of pain. And honestly her understanding of the body and her manual skills cannot be beaten.
- As Sharon works alongside the Physios and speaks medical language, there is enhanced care for you, the patient. Everyone can communicate directly. This way, patients receive consistent and targeted treatment.
So, if you are feeling like muscle pain is driving your discomfort; whether it is headaches, shoulder pain, back pain, muscle strains, heavy training, arthritic hips – combine Remedial Massage Therapy with Physio for the best results.
