🤔 Why is Remedial Massage Sometimes Painful? 🤔
If you’ve ever wondered why a remedial massage can feel a little uncomfortable or like straight-up torture at times, here’s the answer 👉
💢 Pain or tightness in your muscles often means there are “knots", active trigger points or restricted areas.
💆♀️ A remedial massage therapist uses targeted pressure to break down, improve relaxation, circulation, and restore movement.
✅ While it can feel intense during the treatment, the long-term result is reduced pain, better mobility, and a body that functions more freely.
However having said that, a common myth is that for remedial massage to “work,” it has to hurt. Not true!
💆♀️ Effective doesn’t mean painful.
Discomfort can happen if your therapist is working on very tight or restricted muscles, but treatment should never feel unbearable.
If your body is bracing or resisting, the muscles can’t fully release, which makes the massage less effective.
At Inline Physio Moorooka, our highly experienced Remedial Massage Therapist Leena Prasad works with you to make sure the treatment is both effective and safe, adjusting techniques to your comfort level while still achieving results.
