dealing with tense muscles
and poor joint mobility?

Deep-seated tension can make even simple movements uncomfortable. Whether it’s caused by stress, poor posture, injury, or overuse, leaving it untreated can lead to ongoing musculoskeletal pain and restricted mobility.

Remedial massage therapy is designed to work deep into the muscle tissue and connective tissue, triggering a response that helps release tension and support recovery from soft tissue injuries.

Our qualified remedial massage therapists at Elite Health and Performance are some of the best in the business, here for your musculoskeletal needs.

How Our remedial massage therapists can help

  • Sports injuries — Reduce muscle tightness, improve circulation, and speed up recovery from soft tissue injuries with deep tissue massage and myofascial release.

  • Chronic pain — Manage ongoing discomfort by improving circulation, reducing tension, and promoting deep relaxation using evidence-based massage services.

How does remedial massage work?

If muscle tension, stiffness, or chronic pain is affecting your daily life, remedial massage can provide effective pain relief. Your first session begins with a detailed consultation—we take the time to understand your concerns, assess areas of tension, and identify any underlying muscular pain or connective tissue restrictions.

From there, we create a personalised massage treatment plan designed to relieve pain, restore movement, and promote overall well-being. Our treatments include…

  • A physiotherapist working on a man's arm while he lies on a therapy table, in a gym setting.

    Active Release Technique

    Active Release Technique (ART for short) uses massage techniques that involve shortening and lengthening the muscle under pressure to break up scar tissue and muscle tightness. It’s our primary method for treating problems relating to muscle tissue, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves, providing targeted pain relief for a range of musculoskeletal issues.

  • Cupping therapy on a person's back with multiple cups and a handheld pump.

    Myofascial Cupping

    Myofascial Cupping therapy is commonly used to treat headaches, muscle and joint aches, and to desensitise trigger points commonly found within problematic muscles. It is also great at relaxing and repairing deep muscle tissue and helping improve circulation within the lymphatic system, promoting faster recovery and overall body balance.

    Dry Needling

    Dry needling is used to elicit a response from your soft tissue (the muscle will often ‘twitch’) to release tension and aid healing. Think of it like a super-deep massage treatment, which can be both incredibly helpful and satisfying. While it may resemble acupuncture, dry needling is focused on releasing tension, knots, and connective tissue restrictions.


  • Fascial Abrasion Technique (FAT)

    Fascial Abrasion Technique (FAT)

    The Fascial Abrasion Technique uses a tool to break down scar tissue and resolve fascial restrictions. The contoured shape of the instrument lets clinicians locate restrictions, then apply targeted pressure to reduce tension and restore function, especially useful for soft tissue injuries and persistent muscular pain.
