Feeling Puffy, Heavy, or just “Not Yourself”?
You’re not imagining it — fluid retention, sluggish circulation, and stress can all make you feel a bit… inflated.
Our Bio-Electric Massage is designed for exactly that.

This treatment gently works with your nervous system and microcirculation to help your body shift excess fluid, soften tight areas, and restore that “ahh, I can breathe again” feeling.

Perfect for you if you often feel:
• Puffy or boggy
• Heavy in the limbs
• Stiff through the neck, shoulders, or hips
• Tired, flat, or “stuck”
• Like your skin just isn’t as bright or bouncy lately

Understanding Your Scar — and How Massage Can Help
Every scar has a story. Whether it’s from surgery, an accident, or a planned procedure, your body goes through several stages of healing — and knowing WHEN to work on a scar is just as important as HOW.
Stage 1: Inflammation (0–2 weeks)
The body’s first response is to protect and repair. There’s redness, warmth, and swelling — all normal signs that your immune system is hard at work. Massage isn’t appropriate yet, but gentle movement around (not on) the area helps maintain circulation.
Stage 2: Proliferation (2–6 weeks)
New collagen starts forming. The scar may feel raised or firm. Light touch, gentle mobilisation, and keeping the skin hydrated can help tissues align more smoothly as they heal.
Stage 3: Maturation/Remodelling (6 weeks–2 years)
This is when scar tissue becomes more organised and flexible — or sometimes, more restricted. This is the stage where scar tissue massage can make a real difference: reducing tightness, improving mobility, and helping the skin feel like “you” again.
A skilled therapist can assess your scar, guide you safely through each stage, and teach you techniques for home care. For appointments in our Bellevue Heights clinic contact us on 0413 620 320.
Every scar deserves care, patience, and respect — and so do you.

Burns and scars. Once they're "healed", patients can often still feel itching, tightness, pain or other discomfort. Specific scar tissue massage can help significantly decrease scar thickness,improve skin pigmentation, decrease redness, decrease transepidermal water loss, increase elasticity, and improve overall appearance of the scar. ( ref. PMID: 24630820 DOI: 10.1016/j.burns.2014.02.005). At Remedial Therapies SA scar tissue massage (including cold laser therapy) is just one of the treatments we offer. You can contact Andrea and Jeremy on 0413620320 for an appointment. Hicaps and eftpos available.

Every week, at least one new client comes in with lymphoedema — and so many have never been shown how to care for it at home.

We believe knowledge is part of healing. That’s why we take the time to teach simple self-care techniques that make a real difference between appointments.

We’ve even written a book to teach you the basics and guide you through home management, so you can feel confident caring for yourself every day. Books are available in our clinic, on www.massagecpe.com.au, or ask for it at your local bookshop.

Let’s talk about “deep tissue.”

A lot of people think a massage has to be deep to be effective — but research shows that firmer isn’t necessarily better. In fact, the best results come from working with your body, not against it.

What feels perfect for one person might feel painful or overwhelming for another. If pressure makes your body tense up or slip into that fight, flight or freeze response, it can actually slow down healing rather than help it.

So when you ask for “deep tissue,” let’s talk about what that means for you. Do you want firmer pressure overall, more focus on a specific area, or precise work on the deeper layers?

By communicating clearly, we can find the pressure that helps your body truly relax and respond — not just tolerate.
