Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is our most popular massage type. It provides relief from the aches, pains and injuries that we all experience from time to time. While also being very relaxing.

Remedial massage is a varied therapy. This means that it combines several techniques. Such as what we typically think of as a massage coupled with a targeted focus on areas of restricted mobility or pain.

In keeping with this being a varied massage, your massage can be firm or gentle, shallow or deep, or a combination. These aspects of the massage are determined based on your preferences. As well as what issues you are seeking to alleviate. If you are not sure about what you would prefer, you can discuss with your therapist on the day.

What can be treated?

The nature of remedial massage means that aside from helping you relax. It also helps stimulate blood supply to joints and muscles. While the relaxation benefit of the massage helps to relieve stress, in turn, provides a benefit to your nervous system.

Kate Owen

Katie is the best! I've had many, many massages, and Katie is at the top of my list when it comes to excellent remedial therapists. She really takes care to make sure you're getting a tailored session. The best thing is she's available on a Sunday, when it's very hard to find a good remedial massage in Hobart. Defintely try Body Balance in Sandy Bay.

Faith Girardi

Katie was absolutely amazing. I’ve had all sorts of treatment done and I’ve never actually experienced as much relief as I did after Katie’s remedial massage therapy. She uses the perfect pressure and knows exactly what she’s doing. I’m so grateful!

Amanda Bishop

It was a great remedial massage by Greg, I was very sore from heaps of walking, while travelling Tassie... So Greg worked on my kneck, shoulders, calfs and quads.. Which I really needed.. They went above and beyond once they realised I couldn't claim due to my health funds mistake... They followed it up for me with phone calls until it was resolved... Greatly appreciate it..
