When the Pain Isn’t Coming From Where You Feel It

The area that feels tight or painful isn’t always the part of the body causing the problem. In many cases, discomfort is driven by deep muscular trigger points that refer pain to other regions. This is why repeatedly treating the same tight spot doesn’t always lead to lasting improvement.

Certain muscles are well known for these referral patterns. For example, trigger points in the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) — a muscle in the front and side of the neck — can refer pain into the head or temple, often presenting as headaches, facial pressure or eye discomfort rather than obvious neck pain. Likewise, dysfunction in the infraspinatus, a deep muscle at the back of the shoulder, commonly refers pain to the front of the shoulder, leading many people to assume the issue lies in the chest or shoulder joint. At the hip, trigger points in the tensor fascia lata (TFL) can refer pain down the outside of the thigh or knee, frequently mimicking ITB-related symptoms.

Effective remedial massage focuses on identifying and treating these referral patterns, rather than repeatedly working only where the pain is felt. By addressing the true source of muscular tension, treatment becomes more precise, more efficient, and more likely to produce lasting relief.

Target the source — not just the symptom.

Conditions Commonly Treated with Remedial Massage

Remedial massage can assist with a wide range of muscular and soft-tissue complaints, including:

• Neck, shoulder and lower back pain
• Headaches linked to muscular tension
• Postural and work-related tightness
• Repetitive strain and overuse injuries
• Ongoing tightness that hasn’t improved with general massage

By identifying how different muscles interact and compensate, treatment is aimed at improving movement quality, reducing recurring pain, and supporting long-term function.

Clinical Experience You Can Trust

Our therapists bring together clinical training and real-world experience, including working with clients who train regularly, perform physical work, or place higher demands on their bodies. This allows us to recognise when pain is being driven by compensation, overload or restricted movement - and tailor treatment accordingly.

You’ll also receive clear aftercare advice, so improvements extend beyond the treatment room.

Your Appointment

Remedial massage sessions are typically 60 minutes, allowing time for assessment, targeted treatment and follow-up advice. Treatments are performed using sorbolene rather than oil, helping maintain grip and avoid post-treatment residue.



Eligible clients may claim private health fund rebates, as all therapists are qualified providers.
