Remedial & Relaxation massage in Melbourne
Relieve tension and restore balance to your body
Pregnancy, sports and everyday life can take a toll on your body, but relief is within reach. At Hatched House we offer two types of massage: both remedial and relaxation. Our remedial massage is tailored specifically for women, offering a blend of expert techniques to address injuries, pain, tension, and mobility issues. Our relaxation massage is a special treat that soothes the body. We help you reconnect with your body and feel your best in a space designed just for you.
What is the difference between remedial and relaxation massage?
Remedial massage is a therapeutic approach that targets specific areas of the body, or individual concerns. Working on muscles, connective tissues and body areas affected by strain, injury or overuse. It’s a great way to address chronic pain, muscle pain and muscular imbalances while improving overall muscle function. This style is often firm and focuses on an area of the body. Your Myotherapist may ask you a few quick questions about your concerns, or goals before your treatment.
Relaxation massage is specifically designed to soothe the body. This nurturing practice helps relieve discomforts, while promoting relaxation and emotional well-being. This style is full-body and gentle. You also have the option of calming hot stone massage, crafted to dissolve stress, tension, aches, and pains, supporting your healing and recovery process. Please note that private health insurance rebates do not apply to relaxation massage.
Both are particularly beneficial for pregnant and postpartum women, offering relief from the aches and pains that often accompany these life stages.

A thoughtful gift for expecting or new mothers
Looking for a thoughtful gift for an expecting or new mother? A remedial massage at Hatched House makes an excellent choice. It’s a meaningful way to support a loved one during the physical demands of pregnancy or postpartum recovery, offering relief from pain, muscle tension and stress.
Pregnancy massage
Pregnancy often comes with muscle tension, swelling and posture changes, leading to discomfort in the lower back, hips and legs. A remedial massage, or deep tissue massage, can help reduce pain, improve joint mobility and promote relaxation. Many clients find regular remedial or relaxation massages during pregnancy help them manage stress and improve their overall health.
With the help of our specialised pillows, pregnant women can lie face down safely, allowing your remedial massage therapist to effectively target key areas of discomfort.
Postpartum massage
After childbirth, your body changes significantly as it heals and adjusts. A remedial massage is an excellent way to support your recovery, helping with issues like tight shoulders from breastfeeding, nerve pain and general muscle tension.
A postnatal remedial massage also aids in the recovery of damaged tissues and helps restore muscle function. Our experienced remedial massage therapists use several different techniques to alleviate the discomfort many new mothers experience, helping to repair damaged areas and return the body to its pre-pregnancy state as much as possible.

However, your therapist will always work within your comfort level and communicate with you throughout the session to ensure the pressure is appropriate.
