Remedial Massage in Melbourne

Sometimes, we like to push our physical boundaries and go beyond what we usually do. It could be lifting heavy weights in the gym or just simply trying out a new sport. And while it is important to test ourselves physically, overexertion can often strain our muscles and joints.

Our remedial massage therapists in Melbourne will help you relax and bring back your body to a more natural state, leading to better performance in your daily activities. Whether you’re a track athlete, MMA fighter, or an office worker, Solidus’ Remedial Massage therapy in Melbourne can help to relieve pain and enhance recovery.

What Our Clients Say

How can we help?

There is no one best method to treat an injury or pain. After we assess your body, we tailor your treatment based on your specific needs. This may be one or a combination of the services below:

What is Remedial Massage?

Remedial massage is a complementary therapy that focuses on soft tissues that require rehabilitation. By stimulating blood flow in your muscles, our therapists can improve joint mobility, get rid of knots and help your body repair muscle damage after intense workouts.

Our Melbourne remedial massage therapists will first locate the source of the problem, identifying the main areas of pain or discomfort. This could be scar tissue that has built up on your joints or adhesions in your muscles. Then we apply evidence-based techniques to these key points, releasing tension and breaking up internal scar tissue resulting from injury or overworked muscles.

EXPERT THERAPISTS THAT UNDERSTAND YOUR NEEDS

Our therapists are all licensed health care professionals who can diagnose what your body is telling you and provide treatment to help reduce pain, correct posture, decrease tension, and improve the way you move.

Muscle pain not only feels bad, but it also limits your range of motion. So instead of taking another round of painkillers or visiting your doctor, try having a remedial massage.

  • Arthritis
  • Fatigue

  • Ease muscle tension to alleviate pain

I have been working with Julius and Daryl now for over 3 years and they have kept me healthy and pain free so I can continue training heavy and hard. Cannot recommend them enough.

Always diligent in both treatment and rehab recommendation.I always walk out feeling like I’ve been worked on, but not assaulted like I’ve had with other myotherapists, and as an athlete I’ve never been told not to do an exercise, instead given ways to modify it to work through the injury rather than the typical lazy advice to just stop moving until something heals fully.I also send my own clients here and am kept updated with information on how to conduct sessions around their injuries too.

I have been a competition prep & strength coach for many years with a number of my own issues and I have never found a more knowledgeable and competent team than Solidus. Their ability to not only assess and prescribe corrective exercises but their ability to understand and relate to top end athletes is second to none. I have had hip issues for many years and couldn't sumo deadlift my way out of a paper bag. Today I pulled 80kg for 3 with no hip pain at all. In fact it actually feels better after the doing it. That is a huge accomplishment for me. It can only get better from here. I cannot thank them enough ❤️

These guys are absolutely VITAL to maintaining my health. Super informative, and super supportive. I love that my recovery is not simply based on being treated, it's checking in with me between treatments as well as communicating with my Coach so that my maintenance is ongoing and proactive and not simply when I'm feeling sore.

Julius is always able to fix up any issues I run into from heavy and hard training. Beyond that the knowledge of the guys at Solidus is unmatched. Even small cueing adjustments to the way I lift from recommendations from Julius has helped me engage with the working muscles far more effectively.Could not recommended more highly!

It was my very first time to see a Myotheraphy for my shoulder that was sore almost two months ago. I was amazed how good Julius was and he managed to fix my shoulder. I can now lift my arm up high with not much pain. Also, Julius was great explaining how my muscles and my body works together so that I don’t put so much pressure on my shoulders. He’s also given me exercises to do to strengthen my shoulders, my back and my posture. I highly recommended Solidus Health in Clayton. Thank you Julius

I saw Julius for my golfers and tennis elbow, he was very knowledgeable and helped me recognise the ways I was putting stress on my elbow before I started on any recovery exercises. Both Darryl and Julius are great guys who also provided a very friendly and great learning environment for son during his work experience. I would highly recommend the Solidus team for genuine health care and support. Thank you Julius!

I have been getting treatment from Daryl for almost 2 years now and can say that he is the best physio / allied health professional that I have ever seen.I suffer from chronic pain, and the targeted combination of treatment and strength and conditioning programs provided have enabled me to go from quite limited to daily exercise that is very physical, ranging from gym strength work to running to ninjawarrior!After many other experiences where consultants treat the symptoms not the cause, Daryl is a master at getting to the root cause. He is also very patient and carefully explains everything to ensure a complete understanding.I can't recommend Daryl highly enough!!

I attended my initial assessment with Julius, and have to say it was an inspirational experience. Not only did he greet me at the gym entrance, but he expressed genuine compassion, and empathy towards my situation.Julius was immediately able to identify my issues, and assured me that by implementing the right cues I would be able to minimise pain, and hence injury, rectify my form and improve my overall performance.Above-all, he is incredibly intuitive, and couldn’t believe I met a person who shared the same level of knowledge and passion for philosophy like me.I highly recommend his services to anyone who has been through the monotonous, and exhausting cycle of seeing multiples providers and finding themselves back at square one.Looking forward to my next session.

These guys are the real deal - by far the best health and conditioning team I’ve ever seen in Melbourne. I’m a regular gym goer and runner and these guys always get me moving through any niggles and have me back in the gym and feeling better in no time. The strength program I’ve been following for my knee over the past few months has meant I’m pain free and feeling supreme confidence in my body for the first time in a long time. A must for any strength or conditioning athlete, whether you’re a weekend warrior or something more serious.

Great experience at Solidus. Came to Daryl with an unknown glute/hip issue from powerlifting that I had been nursing. He was able to diagnose and prescribe rehab exercises all within a one hour consult. After implementing these rehab exercises this hip injury went away almost instantly within 1-2 sessions. During this time I had also picked up a shoulder niggle to which Daryl was able to fit me in his schedule almost straight away and prescribe me rehab exercises to which this shoulder niggle went away over 1-2 sessions. His ability to coach exercises and explain to the patient what is happening was great. Definitely recommend.

I have been seeing Julius for a few years now and I have never looked back! He is so knowledgeable, has great attention to detail and is just a lovely person in general.I do bodybuilding and he always fixes any injuries through a dual approach:remedial therapy AND training cues/ adjustments. Everyone in the team is super nice and such great vibes. I recommend Solidus to all my friends and everyone that’s ever been loves them and is now one of their regulars.

Genuine, practical, amazing crew! Helpful is an understatement, I can't speak highly enough of these guys, they have been instrumental in my injury rehab not only through treatment but practically taught me how to develop, teaching me and giving me techniques to fix issues at the root through strength and conditioning.

I highly recommend booking an appointment with Solidus if you're looking to get back to sports or need someone to help with recovery post injury.Between Julius, Darryl and the rest of the team, they've helped me get back to playing competitive basketball post Achilles surgery and postpartum!Also the deep tissue massages👌They even accommodated when I had to bring my baby last minute.

Julius is the man! I have been hesitant to see a new health care professional after many years of sticking with one type. However, if you’re prone to injury like I have been and can’t seem to pinpoint why and how to help relieve and prevent it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Julius and his abundance of knowledge and care for the practice and his patients. Amazing work bro! Thank you so much for correcting my rowing pattern and putting me on the better path towards recovery and more gains!

Saw Julius to help with my chronic lower back pain, he diagnosed my problem within 5mins into the consultation by observing me complete a few simple exercises. He was very knowledgeable and efficient, the explanations he gave were all in line with how I felt and he customised a exercise plan for me on the spot and went through it with me to ensure I was doing them correctly. Julius was very thorough and honest too! Honesty is something I highly appreciate since it is a rare trait to find in any profession, he even said I probably wont need another session with him unless something changes significantly (instead of lying and stating i'd need a few more sessions). Highly recommend.

I was referred to Darly at Solidus by a very good friend who had achieved incredible results.After my first consultation I knew I would be on the mend.I had suffered back pain for over 10 years and thought it was something I would just have to deal with for the rest of my life.It was so bad that I could not finish a back workout or do any form of slightly heavier deadlifting at all.After following Daryl’s guidance with new programming, simple movements daily, getting squat shoes and actually learning the deep mechanics of my body (having long legs and a shorter torso) I now have NO back pain after 10 years. He has actually changed my life.I also had issues with my shoulders which he has fixed. Don’t get me wrong… you need to put in the work and follow the steps he gives you to adapt and change (in my case anyway) but with consistency I am a new person and am truly so grateful I was introduced to him.The only thing that upsets me is that I didn’t meet Daryl sooner 🥺Highly recommended.. no question or doubt at all. He is a Powerlifter himself so has on field first hand experience which is beneficial if you also lift weights.10/10 on all aspects. Very friendly guy also and always walks me out the door rather than just waving goodbye after our sessions.

In the last 2 years Julius Gastar has brought a damaged sciatic nerve back to life and restored wasted muscles in hip, leg and foot. I can now walk and drive again, where I had been numb from waist to big toe. Julius is an amazing healer - he uses massage, exercise, mind/muscle training, and weight exercises and encouragement to achieve his goals. He also consults widely on specific problems and issues. He has been a life saver for me. I am 78 years old - others had given up on me! I am still getting better even 3 years after spinal surgery. Thank you Julius.

Three years ago I had decompression laminectopies L4 mainly. I was numb from waist to big toe because my sciatic nerve was squashed flat. About 2 years ago a friend recommended Julius as he had helped her when noone else could. Since then Julius has brought life back to muscles which had stopped working. I now have movement in my toes and i can walk and drive again. It has been massage, exercises, weights and lots of encouragement. He has become an expert in feet and researches every problem and issue. It has been a long journey but he has brought me back to life and living. Irene Daly

I’ve had chronic back pain since I was 17-18 (I am now 30) and just lived with it as any time I went to a doctor and was referred to a physio, it didn’t help long term. I however started seeing my cousin Julius for it for the last maybe 1-2 years, and his treatment has definitely helped reduced the pain - some days I have none at all and it lasts for weeks or so which is a rarity! Daryl has also trained me and he is great as well !! Highly recommended!!

I was recommended by a friend to see Julius due to on-going hip issues which had been impacting my training for a while. I had seen many healthcare professionals in the past and Julius has been the only person who is able to fix me! Julius is super knowledgeable and has helped remarkably with any pain or injury I have, as well as with my mobility and form which has enabled me to significantly progress in my training. They are also super genuine people who truely care about your health and well-being, and can't thank Julius enough for his on-going encouragement and support. Would highly recommend!

FAQs

What is the difference between massage and remedial massage?

Remedial massage focuses on specific issues in the body, helping to rehabilitate injuries and manage pain. Targeted body sites could include knee, ankle, shoulder or back pains directly connected to your injury.

A standard massage is less targeted, focusing more on relaxation and stress reduction than physical rehabilitation.

What will be discussed in our consultation?

Before your massage session begins, our therapist will want to get to know you. They’ll ask you questions about your injury and the issues you’re experiencing. We can then determine a course of action for your massage treatment with this information.

What is remedial massage good for?

Remedial massage is ideal for people with problems that have not been resolved through other means. Chronic pain, migraines, back pain, neck pain and sciatica are all conditions that can benefit from the pressure techniques of remedial massage.

Do you undress for remedial massage?

If you’re having a dry massage, you can remain dressed while you’re on the table. However, many of our patients find they are most comfortable when just in their underwear.

For a wet remedial massage, our therapists will apply oil to your skin before beginning the massage. This will require you to remove your clothing, including your bra. You will still be required to keep on your underwear, however.

Is a remedial massage painful?

We will alleviate any pain you feel during a massage, but there may be some discomfort as we release tight muscles. Our therapists are highly trained in pain management and make sure you are comfortable during treatment.

How often should you get a remedial massage?

If you’re reasonably active or like to participate in sports, the recommended frequency is 1-2 times a month. However, this depends on your needs and can increase or decline depending on your pain levels.

Can I have a remedial massage while pregnant?

While it’s generally safe to have a remedial massage during pregnancy, the decision should be taken on a case by case basis. Please always speak to your doctor before scheduling any treatment.

Is It normal to feel sore after a remedial massage session?

After your massage, you may feel some soreness in the muscles that have been massaged. As we stimulate muscles you don’t typically use, you may be more prone to delayed onset muscle soreness. Expect massage soreness to subside in 1-2 days.
