Yes. Remedial massage is highly effective for treating sports-related injuries by reducing muscle tension, improving flexibility, promoting circulation and supporting the body’s natural recovery process. It can also help reduce the risk of future injuries.

No referral is required. You can book directly with CQ Remedial Therapy at a time that suits you. Whether you’re experiencing ongoing pain, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to improve your mobility, we’re here to help.

Appointment times vary depending on the treatment required. During your booking, we’ll recommend the most appropriate session length based on your condition and treatment goals.

Treatment frequency depends on your condition, lifestyle and goals. Acute injuries may require more frequent appointments initially, while ongoing maintenance is often recommended every 3–6 weeks to help prevent recurring issues and maintain mobility.

Remedial massage may involve firm pressure to release tight muscles and trigger points. While you may experience some temporary discomfort during treatment, it should always remain within your comfort level. Your therapist will adjust the pressure throughout the session to ensure an effective and comfortable treatment.

  • Neck and back pain

  • Sports injuries
  • Muscle tightness
  • Headaches caused by muscle tension
  • Postural discomfort
  • Sciatica

Relaxation massage focuses primarily on reducing stress and promoting relaxation. Remedial massage is a targeted therapeutic treatment designed to identify and treat the underlying cause of pain, muscle dysfunction and restricted movement using specialised assessment and treatment techniques.

Your first appointment begins with a discussion about your symptoms, medical history and treatment goals. We’ll assess the affected area before developing a personalised treatment plan using the most appropriate techniques to help relieve pain and improve movement.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement. Depending on the area being treated, you may be asked to expose the affected muscles while remaining appropriately covered with towels throughout your treatment to ensure your privacy and comfort.

Every client is different. During your initial consultation, we’ll assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment, which may include remedial massage, dry needling, cupping therapy, myofascial release, trigger point therapy or other specialised techniques to achieve the best outcome.

It’s normal to experience mild soreness for 24–48 hours following some treatments, particularly if significant muscle tension has been addressed. This is a normal response and usually settles quickly. Drinking plenty of water and following any aftercare advice can help support your recovery.
