View pathwayCommon questions about remedial massage therapy
How is remedial massage different from relaxation massage?
It is more clinically framed and selected around function, movement restriction, and treatment goals rather than general relaxation alone.
Can remedial massage be combined with physiotherapy?
Yes. It often sits alongside physiotherapy or exercise when that combination makes practical sense.
Is it suitable for older adults with complex health histories?
Often yes, but the right treatment approach depends on assessment, health history, and current goals.
