Remedial Massage Therapy Dee Why
Find lasting relief from chronic pain with expert remedial massage. Whether it’s nagging back pain, stubborn neck tension, or sports injuries holding you back, we’ll help you move freely again.
Remedial massage at Atma Wellbeing isn’t about temporary relief. It’s therapeutic treatment performed by physiotherapists to address the root cause of your pain, tension, and restricted movement. Real results that last.
Think of your muscles as an interconnected network. When one area gets tight or injured, it creates a domino effect throughout your body. That shoulder pain might actually stem from your posture. Your lower back ache could be connected to tight hip flexors. This is where our expertise makes all the difference.
Our remedial massage uses precise techniques including trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and targeted deep tissue work. We don’t just work on where it hurts – we investigate why it hurts and address the underlying patterns causing your pain. Every session begins with a thorough assessment to understand your unique situation. Then we create a personalised treatment plan that evolves as your body responds and heals. This is pain relief done properly: evidence-based, professionally delivered, and genuinely transformative. No quick fixes, just the lasting relief you deserve. Book an appointment today.

At Atma Wellbeing in Dee Why, remedial massage isn’t just another service we offer. It’s a cornerstone of our practice, since 2008 helping people overcome chronic pain and rediscover pain-free movement.
What makes our remedial massage different from other clinics in Sydney? We combine genuine physiotherapy expertise with therapeutic massage techniques that address your pain at its source. Our founder Saura’s background as a physiotherapist means we understand not just where you hurt, but why. We know how your body’s systems interconnect and exactly what’s needed to restore proper function.
Located in the heart of Dee Why at the Meriton Retail Precinct, we’ve become the trusted choice for remedial massage across the Northern Beaches. Clients travel from afar because they’ve heard about our results – or experienced them firsthand.
Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, correcting years of poor posture, or simply refusing to accept that pain is part of ageing, our remedial massage gives you back the freedom to live without limits. Not through temporary relief, but through targeted treatment that addresses the root cause of your discomfort.
Our frequently asked questions
What exactly is remedial massage and how is it different from relaxation massage?
Remedial massage is therapeutic bodywork designed to treat specific injuries, chronic pain, and muscular dysfunction. Unlike relaxation massage which focuses on general stress relief, remedial massage uses targeted techniques to address the root cause of your pain. We assess your condition, identify problem areas, and apply specific pressure and techniques to restore proper function. It’s the difference between feeling good for a day and actually solving the problem.
Will remedial massage hurt?
Some discomfort during treatment is normal, especially when working on tight or injured areas. But there’s a difference between therapeutic pressure and unnecessary pain. Our therapists are experts at finding that sweet spot – enough pressure to create change without causing excessive discomfort. We constantly communicate during treatment and adjust our approach based on your feedback. Remember, you’re always in control of the pressure level.
How many remedial massage sessions will I need to see results?
Many clients experience significant relief after their first session. However, chronic conditions that developed over years won’t disappear overnight. Typically, we see excellent results within 3-6 sessions for most conditions. Acute injuries might resolve faster, while long-standing issues may need ongoing maintenance. After your initial assessment, we’ll give you a realistic treatment plan based on your specific situation.
Can remedial massage help with my specific condition?
Remedial massage effectively treats a wide range of conditions including back pain, neck tension, sciatica, headaches, sports injuries, postural problems, repetitive strain injuries, and general muscle tension. If you’re unsure whether remedial massage is right for your condition, give us a call. We’re happy to discuss your situation and recommend the best approach for your recovery.
What should I expect during my first remedial massage appointment?
Your first appointment begins with a thorough consultation. We’ll discuss your pain history, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals. Then we’ll do a physical assessment to understand how your body moves and where problems originate. The hands-on treatment follows, using techniques specifically chosen for your condition. We’ll explain what we’re doing and why throughout the session. Afterward, we’ll discuss your treatment plan and any exercises or stretches that might help.
Can I claim remedial massage on health insurance?
Yes, remedial massage is covered by most Australian private health insurance extras policies. We accept all major funds including Bupa, Medibank, HCF, NIB, and others via HICAPS. You’ll receive an instant rebate based on your coverage level, paying only the gap on the day. Other massage types require a doctor’s referral for health fund eligibility, but remedial massage is claimable without referral.
How often should I have remedial massage?
This varies greatly depending on your condition and goals. For acute injuries, weekly sessions initially might be beneficial. For chronic conditions, fortnightly treatments often work well. Once your main issues resolve, monthly maintenance sessions can prevent problems returning. We’ll recommend a frequency that makes sense for your body, your goals, and your budget.
What's the difference between seeing you versus a physiotherapist?
While our founder is a physiotherapist, our remedial massage service focuses on hands-on manual therapy. Physiotherapists often prescribe exercises and use various modalities like ultrasound or dry needling. Our remedial massage concentrates on skilled manual techniques to release tension, improve mobility, and reduce pain. Many clients find combining both approaches gives the best results.
Should I do anything special before or after my treatment?
Before your session, avoid heavy meals but don’t come hungry. Wear comfortable clothing that allows movement for assessment. After treatment, drink plenty of water to help flush out metabolic waste released from your muscles. You might feel slightly tender for 24-48 hours – this is normal and shows your body is responding. Gentle movement like walking is great, but avoid intense exercise for 24 hours.
Can remedial massage help even if I've had this pain for years?
Absolutely. While chronic pain can feel permanent, your body has remarkable capacity for change at any stage. We’ve helped countless clients who thought they’d “tried everything” or had to “just live with it.” Long-standing pain often involves compensatory patterns that need addressing systematically. It might take longer than treating a recent injury, but improvement is definitely possible.
Do you treat sports injuries?
Yes, sports injury treatment is one of our specialties. Whether you’re dealing with muscle strains, ligament sprains, tendinitis, or overuse injuries, our remedial massage helps accelerate recovery and get you back to training safely. We understand the frustration of being sidelined and work efficiently to resolve your injury while addressing any biomechanical factors that might have contributed to it.
