If there is a particular treatment you would like, please let us know early in the session. Please bring along any reports or scans you might have with you. 

Typically, we test to investigate and uncover the root cause of your pain or concerns. Your treatment is personalised to your needs and unique health journey.

Depending on your clinical diagnosis, our treatment plan may include hands-on physio treatments, massage, joint manipulation and mobilisation, exercise therapy and/or dry needling.

Remedial Massage Therapy

Remedial Massage is a complimentary therapy that aims to treat muscles that are knotted, tense or immobile to help repair and speed up the healing process.

Remedial massage is used to locate and treat the origin of pain which can often radiate into different parts of the body.  This type of massage deeply penetrates muscles to stimulate blood supply, make joints more mobile and help repair damaged tissues.

Remedial massage is used to treat: 

  • Neck, shoulder and back pain
  • Headaches
  • Sports injuries or other injuries
  • Arthritis
  • Chronic pain
  • Fatique, anxiety or depression
  • Side effects of cancer, such as lymphodema
  • Injury prevention

Frequently Asked Questions

Your first visit (Initial) are usually a longer appointment of 45 minutes (with shorter 30 minutes also available) and includes an assessment of your area(s) of concern, discussion of possible prognosis, treatment plan and treatment time (which may include hands-on treatment, exercise therapy/prescription, dry needling etc). 

If there is a particular treatment you would like please do let us know early in the session. Please bring any reports you might have with you.

Subsequent sessions are normally 30 minutes but can be extended to 45 or 60 minutes if you have multiple areas of concern. Let us know when you book. Normally these would include a quick re-assessment (of your area of concern, any changes in goals or treatment direction), with more focus on treatment time/exercise the.rapy

For a patient to achieve optimum benefits soon after diagnosis, practitioners recommend three visits per week initially.

However, depending on the severity of your condition, the number of times you may need to see your physio will vary.

Dry needling uses a sterile single use needle and is based on trigger point therapy – uses small needles that target the pain point areas to relieve tension by releasing trigger points (knots in muscle). 

When is dry needling recommended?

  • Help release myofascial trigger points (muscle knots)
  • Assist with pain management
  • Restore movement at a joint if limited by myofascial trigger points.

Does it hurt?
You’ll feel a mild tingly sensation as the needle inserts and withdraws. The insertion of the needle should not be uncomfortable when performed by a physiotherapist. Patients don’t report any discomfort during needle insertion.

While Physiotherapist do perform massage therapy, it’s only a small portion of the treatment we give patients. At Tweak.Health we still prioritise manual therapy and exercise prescriptions.

So, what really IS the difference between the two?

⭐ MASSAGE THERAPY

Massage therapy is commonly used for immediate relaxation of pain and muscle spasms. While they don’t actually provide primary care after injuries, they can be a part of an overall treatment plan.

Meanwhile…

⭐ PHYSIOTHERAPY

Physiotherapy is geared more towards rehabilitating muscle, joint and nerve function. We work to restore the body due to an injury, disease or motion limitations. 

A physiotherapy appointment often involves an assessment followed by diagnosis and treatment. On the other hand, massage therapy alone doesn’t require such things.

You may feel the need to see your massage therapist weekly as you’re not solving the root of the issue (e.g. bad posture, injuries, disease). But your Physio can help to explain the pathology or reason why your issue developed in the first place, and this has the potential to help you recover and move on💪

Needless to say, you may benefit from both, and sometimes simultaneously! Whichever you choose, make sure that it’s appropriate to what you need, and visit a qualified health professional or your local GP.
