Why Chiropractic and Remedial Massage Work Better Together
If you’ve ever wondered whether massage or chiropractic is better for back pain, neck tension, or headaches, here’s the truth: the real magic happens when they work together.
We’re excited to introduce a new way to help our patients feel better faster - combining remedial massage therapy with chiropractic care. Let’s spill the tea!
Meet Helena – Our Remedial Massage Therapist in Cottesloe
We’re excited to welcome Helena, an experienced remedial massage therapist who has recently joined the team after relocating from New Zealand. Helena specialises in targeted therapeutic massage, focusing on the muscles that contribute to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement. Her approach isn’t just relaxation - it’s clinical, results-focused massage therapy designed to help you move and feel better.
Helena regularly helps patients with:
Neck and shoulder tension
Lower back pain
Tight hips and glutes
Headaches and jaw tension
Postural strain from desk work
Muscle soreness from sport or exercise.
Her treatments combine remedial massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial techniques to release tension and restore healthy movement..
Why Massage and Chiropractic Work So Well Together
Chiropractic care focuses on improving joint movement and nervous system function.
Remedial massage focuses on muscles and soft tissue, helping to reduce muscle tension, support injury recovery, and improve circulation, flexibility, and mobility.
When muscles become tight or overloaded, they can pull joints out of balance and limit movement. That’s why combining chiropractic adjustments with massage therapy can often produce better and longer lasting results, and why we’ve introduced a our new treatment, Chiro-M.
Introducing Chiro-M – Targeted Massage
Our new Chiro-M (Chiro-Massage) sessions are designed as targeted remedial massage treatments that work alongside chiropractic care.
Instead of a full body massage, Chiro-M focuses on one key problem area such as:
Tight neck and shoulders
Upper back tension
Lower back stiffness
Hip or glute tightness.
These sessions are ideal for people who want fast relief from muscle tension, or want to improve the results of their chiropractic appointment.
How It Works
1️⃣ Chat to Dr Liam about whether incorporating a Chiro-M into your care plan is right for you
2️⃣ If he agrees, head to reception and book your next adjustment and a Chiro-M for the same day if possible, or within the same week (note, this can't be booked online, or more than one week apart)
3️⃣ Attend your appointments and reap the rewards!
