Remedial Massage Richmond

Imagine a massage that actually fixes things

You know that feeling when your shoulders are carrying the weight of the world, and your neck feels like it's been replaced with concrete? When you're walking around like a robot because your back has staged a full-scale rebellion? We get it. We've all been there, nursing our bodies like they're delicate flowers after we've treated them like bulldozers.

Here's the thing about most massage places – they'll rub you down with some fancy oils, play some whale sounds, and send you on your way feeling temporarily zen but fundamentally unchanged. That's not us.

At Evolutio, we've created something different. Picture this: you walk into our Richmond clinic, and instead of sterile white walls and clinical vibes, you're greeted with smooth indie tunes, the aroma of good coffee, and therapists who actually listen to your body's story. Our remedial massage therapists work hand-in-hand with our physiotherapists, which means we don't just massage away your symptoms – we get to the bottom of why your muscles are throwing tantrums in the first place.

Since 2013, we've helped over 7,000 people from Richmond and beyond (including folks from as far as Hong Kong and Buenos Aires) discover what it feels like when massage meets proper movement science. Whether you're a weekend warrior nursing a stubborn injury, a desk jockey whose posture has gone rogue, or someone who just wants their body to feel like it did when you were 25, we're here for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Remedial Massage

Understanding Remedial Massage

What's the difference between remedial massage and relaxation massage?

Remedial massage is therapeutic and targets specific muscle problems, tension, or injuries. It uses deeper pressure and specific techniques to address dysfunction.

Relaxation massage is gentler and focused on stress relief and general wellbeing. At Evolutio, our remedial massage is always goal-oriented and evidence-based.

How does remedial massage work with physiotherapy?

Our unique approach means massage therapists and physiotherapists work together.

If massage reveals underlying movement issues, we can immediately address them with physio techniques. This integrated approach delivers faster, more lasting results than standalone treatment.

What techniques do you use in remedial massage?

Our Richmond remedial massage therapists use:

  • Deep tissue massage for chronic tension

  • Trigger point therapy for pain relief

  • Myofascial release techniques

  • Sports massage for athletic performance

  • Cupping therapy when appropriate

Treatment Frequency and Results

How often should I get remedial massage?

This depends on your condition and goals:

  • Acute issues: Weekly sessions for 4-6 weeks often work well

  • Maintenance and prevention: Monthly sessions are common

  • Chronic conditions: May require twice weekly initially

Our membership packages offer cost-effective options for regular treatment.

How long does it take to see results from remedial massage?

Many patients notice immediate relief after their first session.

However, lasting changes typically occur after 3-4 treatments. Chronic conditions may require 6-8 sessions for significant improvement.

Your therapist will provide realistic expectations during your initial assessment.

Will remedial massage hurt?

Some discomfort is normal when addressing deep muscle tension, but it shouldn't be unbearable.

We work within your pain tolerance and adjust pressure accordingly. Most people find any discomfort is worth the relief that follows.

Communication with your therapist is key to ensuring comfort throughout treatment.

Health Insurance and Pricing

Can I claim remedial massage on my health insurance?

Yes! We offer HICAPS claiming for on-the-spot rebates if you have extras cover that includes massage therapy.

Your therapist will give specific post-treatment advice based on your session.

Can remedial massage help with headaches?

Yes, particularly tension headaches caused by neck and shoulder tightness.

Our therapists can identify trigger points and muscle tension patterns that contribute to headaches. We often combine massage with physiotherapy for comprehensive headache management.
