Remedial Massage Therapy In Boronia
Targeted, hands-on care to support muscle health, movement, and recovery.
A knot between the shoulder blades that will not shift, legs that feel heavy after training, a neck tight from a week at the desk: muscular tension has a way of following you around. Remedial massage and myotherapy in Boronia at Bergamo Chiropractic and Nutrition Centre start with an assessment, then target the tissue and movement patterns behind the discomfort.
Remedial massage therapy focuses on assessing and treating muscle tension, soft tissue restriction, and movement-related discomfort that can impact daily life, work, or physical activity.
At Bergamo Chiropractic and Nutrition Centre, remedial massage therapy is delivered with a clear purpose, to support function, recovery, and overall musculoskeletal health. Our therapists take the time to understand your presentation and tailor care to your individual needs, whether you are managing an acute issue or ongoing muscular tension.
The clinic offers both remedial massage and myotherapy. Le Zhou provides remedial massage, and Marny Leo, an Advanced Diploma qualified myotherapist, provides myotherapy using hands-on techniques such as deep tissue work, myofascial release, cupping and trigger point therapy. Both work with muscular tension and movement, so reception can help you choose the appointment that suits your needs.
Our Approach To Remedial Massage
Remedial massage at BCNC is not a generic relaxation service. Each session begins with an assessment of muscle tone, movement, and contributing factors, allowing treatment to be targeted and purposeful.
Techniques are selected based on your needs and may vary over time as your body responds. Where appropriate, therapists may provide guidance on stretching, movement, or self-care to support the effects of treatment between sessions.
Our focus is on supporting sustainable improvements in muscle function rather than temporary relief alone.

Most private health funds cover remedial massage therapy under their extras. The centre offers on-the-spot HICAPS claiming, so patients simply pay the gap on the consultation. The rebate varies with different funds and the level of your extras cover, so we recommend you speak to your health insurance provider to determine your actual gap payment. Remedial massage and myotherapy generally fall under the same category, so contact your fund if you are unsure about cover.
For some patients with a chronic condition, a GP may allocate subsidised allied health consultations under Medicare's chronic condition management arrangements. Eligibility and the current rebate are set by Medicare and change over time, so we recommend confirming both with your GP or with Services Australia.
