Remedial Massage

What Is Remedial Massage?

Remedial massage is a therapeutic, results-focused treatment that targets the root causes of pain, tension, and restricted movement. Unlike relaxation massage, which focuses mainly on soothing the body, remedial massage works with your muscles, fascia, and soft tissues to improve function, ease discomfort, and support long-term healing.

Using a blend of deep tissue techniques, trigger-point therapy, myofascial release, stretching, and targeted pressure, each session is tailored to your body’s needs on the day.

Remedial massage can:

Reduce chronic or recurring muscle tension
Release tight, overworked, or stressed areas
Improve posture and mobility
Increase circulation and lymph flow
Assist with injury recovery
Support a calmer, more regulated nervous system

Remedial massage is ideal if you experience pain, stiffness, stress, physical strain, or simply want to move more freely in your daily life.

Remedial massage is highly effective for relieving pain, improving mobility, and restoring balance in the body. I support clients with a wide range of conditions, including:

Rib, chest, and upper-back tightness
Muscle knots and trigger points

Every treatment session is personalised. I listen to what your body needs, assess where tension is held, and work steadily, safely, and effectively to release it.

Why Choose Soo

Choosing the right therapist matters — especially when you’re dealing with pain, stress, or long-term tension. With over 30 years of nursing and midwifery experience, I bring a deep understanding of the body, the nervous system, and compassionate, trauma-aware care into every session.

As a qualified remedial massage therapist trained in deep tissue, trigger-point therapy, myofascial release, relaxation massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, and clinical healing, I work holistically — treating not just the painful area, but the patterns, stress, and habits that contribute to it.

Clients choose me because I offer:

✔ A medically-informed approach

My nursing background means safety, clinical awareness, and an understanding of the complexity of pain.

✔ Strong therapeutic skills

I combine deep tissue work, structural techniques, and gentle soft-tissue release depending on what your body needs.

✔ Holistic body–mind support

Your physical tension is often linked to stress, fatigue, emotional load, or nervous system overload. I treat all layers — not just muscles.

✔ A calm, restorative environment

My Mount Sheridan clinic is a private, peaceful space where you can relax, reset, and feel deeply cared for.

✔ A personalised, intuitive approach

I listen. I assess. I use experience, skill, and intuition to help your body find its natural balance again.

What to Expect During Your Session

Your remedial massage session is designed to help you feel safe, supported, and deeply cared for — from the moment you arrive until you leave feeling lighter and more balanced.

🕊 1. A Warm Welcome & Brief Intake

We begin with a short discussion about your concerns, pain patterns, daily habits, posture, and areas needing attention.
This helps me tailor the treatment to your body’s needs on the day.

🩺 2. Clinical Assessment

Using my nursing and remedial background, I’ll assess:

muscle tension
posture
range of motion
trigger points
areas of imbalance

This ensures your treatment is safe, effective, and targeted.

💆‍♀️ 3. A Tailored Remedial Massage Treatment

Your session may include:

deep tissue work
trigger-point therapy
myofascial release
stretching
gentle corrective techniques
relaxation and nervous-system soothing
intuitive healing support where appropriate

Pressure is always adjusted to your comfort level, and communication is welcome throughout.

🌿 4. A Calm, Healing Environment

Your treatment room is a quiet, private space where you can fully relax. Soft lighting, soothing energy, and a grounding presence create a sanctuary for your mind and body.

💧 5. Aftercare & Support

At the end of your session, I’ll share simple aftercare suggestions to help you get the most from your treatment, such as:

hydration
gentle stretching
heat/ice if required
posture or movement tips

Many clients feel immediate relief, improved mobility, and a deep sense of relaxation after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does remedial massage hurt?

Remedial massage can involve firm pressure when releasing deep tension or trigger points, but it should never feel unbearable. I always adjust the pressure to your comfort level and check in with you throughout the session.

2. What should I wear?

You’ll undress to your comfort level and be professionally draped at all times. Only the area being treated is uncovered. You may also keep lightweight clothing on if preferred — your comfort and safety come first.

3. Do I need a referral?

No referral is required. You can book directly at any time.

4. Can remedial massage help chronic pain?

Yes. Many clients with chronic pain experience reduced tension, improved mobility, and better nervous system regulation. My nursing background allows me to treat chronic pain conditions safely and holistically.

5. Is remedial massage safe during pregnancy?

Yes — after the first trimester and depending on your circumstances. As a midwife with over 30 years of clinical experience, I provide safe, supportive pregnancy massage. After 20+ weeks, you can choose to receive your massage side lying with a belly pillow to support your belly on the massage bed.

6. How often should I book?

This depends on your goals.

For persistent pain: and tension weekly or fortnightly
For maintenance & stress: every 2–4 weeks
For one-off tension: as needed

I’ll recommend a plan based on your body’s needs.

7. What if I’m nervous or new to massage?

You’re in safe hands. I offer a calm, supportive environment, explain what to expect, and check in throughout. Your comfort, boundaries, and consent are always respected.

8. What is your cancellation policy?

Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice to avoid the 50% late cancellation fee. This ensures fairness and allows me to offer your appointment to someone else in need.

9. Where are you located?

My private clinic is in Mount Sheridan, Cairns.
I support clients from Mount Sheridan, White Rock, Bentley Park, Edmonton, Earlville, Woree, and surrounding Cairns suburbs. Although I have had referred clients from Babinda, Atherton and Palm Cove.

10. Do you offer health fund rebates?

Once you pay me, I give you an invoice and receipt with my provider number and you can do your own private health claim.
