Remedial Massage in Wollongong & Illawarra
| Pain Relief & Recovery
At Advance Body Massage, we offer specialised remedial massage in Wollongong and the Illawarra, helping clients relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore balance. Our treatments are tailored to your individual needs, with a focus on long-term results rather than just short-term relief.
What is Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is a therapeutic treatment designed to identify and treat muscular dysfunction.
At Advance Body Massage, we assess your posture, movement, and muscle tension to create a personalised treatment plan that supports recovery and overall wellbeing.
Our focus is on treating muscle pain, tension, and dysfunction by addressing the underlying cause of the problem — not just providing relaxation.
Unlike a relaxation massage, remedial massage is targeted and treatment-based. It’s commonly used to relieve pain, improve movement, and support recovery from injury.
This form of massage is ideal for both acute injuries and ongoing muscular issues.

How Remedial Massage Works
Remedial massage works by identifying and treating the underlying cause of muscle pain and tension, rather than simply relieving symptoms.
At Advance Body Massage, each remedial massage session is tailored to your body, your movement patterns, and your specific concerns.
1. Assessment and Consultation
Your session begins with a brief consultation to understand your pain, posture, daily activities, and treatment goals.
We then identify areas of muscle tightness, imbalance, or dysfunction that may be contributing to discomfort.
2. Targeted Treatment
Once problem areas are identified, specific remedial massage techniques are applied to affected muscles, tendons, and connective tissue. These techniques may include:
Deep tissue massage
Trigger point therapy
Myofascial release
Corrective and stretching techniques
The pressure is adjusted to ensure the treatment is effective while remaining within your comfort level.
3. Improved Circulation and Muscle Function
Remedial massage helps increase blood flow to affected areas, supporting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients while assisting the removal of built-up tension and waste products. This process encourages healing, reduces tightness, and improves overall muscle function.
4. Restoring Movement and Reducing Pain
By releasing tight muscles and addressing imbalances, remedial massage can help restore natural movement, reduce pain, and improve flexibility. Many clients experience relief after their first session, with ongoing treatments supporting long-term results.
5. Ongoing Care and Prevention
Remedial massage is not only about pain relief — it also plays a role in injury prevention and maintenance. Regular treatments can help prevent recurring issues, improve posture, and support an active, pain-free lifestyle.
