Remedial Massage has been the flagship of Yarraville Seddon Therapies since the business was established in 2003. It is still our most popular treatment, ironing out anything from tight and stiff muscles to realigning hip imbalances and loosening off muscles that may be placing tension on nerves causing issues such as sciatica or pain and pins and needles into the arms.
Remedial Massage for Sports People – our therapists all have extensive experience in treating a large range of sporting clientele. Remedial Massage for sports people has varied purposes including deep tissue treatment for athletes in heavy training in order to prevent injury; lighter stimulating massage for pre-event treatment and post event treatment which aims to stimulate lymphatic flow and decrease the effect of lactic acid build up, enabling the athlete to recover and resume training more quickly.
Remedial Massage is useful for anyone including those suffering pregnancy aches and pains, sports people, tradies and office workers.

Techniques used commonly include:
Myofascial Release - probably the most common form of massage therapy treatment which aims at stretching out and releasing muscle fibres to stop the "bunched" or "knotty" feel that sometimes become prominent in the belly or ends of muscles.
Myotension Technique - a gentle form of massage that incorporates some passive stretching and work through range of motion in order to restore normal length and function of muscles.
Muscle Energy Technique - works with the client through a range of gentle stretching and resisted movements to restore normal range of motion of muscles and associated joints.
Trigger Point Therapy - works over those "bunched" areas of muscle fibre to increase blood flow and flush out the waste that has pooled in tired and tense muscles.
Cupping - most of our massage therapists practice the "Western" version of vacuum cupping. Cupping may consist of stationary or sliding cupping in order to draw up and loosen off tight musculature and fascia. Some therapists may also use glass cups which can be heated, allowing the warmth to further expand and stretch muscle and fascia.
Dry Needling - very fine filament needles are inserted into the skin and trigger points in muscles. This stimulates a twitch response and then a release in the muscle fibres followed by massage to lengthen the tissue. The dry needling process may also replicate symptoms in terms of referred pain/altered sensation.
Kinesio Taping - used for a variety of reasons including postural awareness, and pulling up the top layer of skin/muscle/fascia to allow healing to occur to injured muscle and allow for their smooth expansion and contraction.
