How to Get Started with WorkSafe Remedial Massage

How Can Remedial Massage Help with work-related injuries?

Depending on your injury and individual clinical presentation, remedial massage may help to:

• Reduce pain and muscular discomfort.

• Help manage soft tissue sensitivity and associated inflammation where appropriate.

• Improve muscle function, mobility and flexibility.

• Support tissue recovery and rehabilitation.

• Support progress towards a safe return to work.

Treatment is tailored to your symptoms, functional needs and recovery goals. Outcomes vary between individuals, and remedial massage forms part of a broader injury management plan rather than replacing medical care or prescribed rehabilitation.
