Remedial Massage Therapy In Boronia

Targeted, hands-on care to support muscle health, movement, and recovery.

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.

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.

When remedial massage therapy may be helpful

Remedial massage therapy may be suitable for people experiencing:

  • Muscle tightness or soreness

  • Work-related or postural strain

  • Sporting or exercise-related injuries

  • Reduced flexibility or movement

  • Ongoing muscular tension contributing to discomfort

  • Recovery support alongside other treatments

Care is always adapted to your comfort level and presentation.
