Massage [What does it do?]

The aim of massage is to help muscles respond and heal in a particular way to improve the function of the body. Depending on your needs this may be to increase blood flow, loosen and lengthen tight muscles, reduce swelling, reduce stress and promote relaxation, release myofascial trigger points or to relax hypersensitivity and spasm.

Massage [How can it help me?]

Some common reasons why massage can benefit you include:

Relieving stress

Leave your massage treatment feeling more relaxed. We are all living busier lives than ever in Brisbane. This leads to built up tension over the shoulders and neck, commonly causing unnecessary symptoms of headache and pain. Regular massage can keep these unwanted symptoms under control.

Reduce pain and improve function

Injuries, surgeries and postural issues in the workplace can lead to tightness and restriction in certain muscle groups. Remedial massage at ActiveForm Physio can have you feeling loosened and pain-free. This in turn can improve your ability to perform prescribed exercise, leading to better self-management strategies.

Endorphin Release

Remedial massage releases endorphins (chemicals in the brain that make you feel great). More of these happy chemicals are known to reduce overall pain. Consider a massage in Fortitude Valley to have you feeling 100%.
