Targeted massage to help ease muscular tension, manage everyday aches and support comfortable movement.

Your care, your pace
Remedial massage appointments at Healing Arts Studio are available with Maddy McCarty and Scott Oram at 194 Wright Street, Adelaide CBD.
Remedial massage focuses on muscles and other soft tissues that feel tight, sore or restricted. Your therapist combines a conversation about your symptoms and daily activities with hands-on techniques selected for the areas that need attention.
Whether you’re feeling the effects of desk work, training, physical work or a busy life, treatment is shaped around you. The aim is to ease muscular discomfort, support comfortable movement and give you space to relax—using pressure that feels right for your body.
Care for the way you move
Explore how remedial massage may support you and what to expect from your appointment.
Find your massage appointmentRemedial massage may help ease muscular tightness and discomfort in areas such as the neck, shoulders, back and legs. Tell your therapist where you feel it most and which activities are uncomfortable so your session can focus on what matters to you.
Long periods at a desk, driving, lifting and repeated movements can leave muscles feeling overworked. Your therapist can focus on these areas and discuss simple ways to vary your movement and manage the demands of your day.
For active people, massage can offer support with muscle soreness and tightness around training. Your session can focus on the muscles involved in your sport or activity, helping you feel more comfortable as part of your wider recovery routine.
If tight muscles are making everyday movement less comfortable, remedial massage may help with short-term relief and a sense of easier movement. For persistent pain or injury rehabilitation, it can sit alongside care from your physiotherapist or other treating practitioner.
Your therapist starts by asking about your concerns, health history and goals, and may check relevant movements. They’ll explain the proposed treatment and agree on the areas to work on. You’ll be covered with towels or draping, with only the area being treated exposed. Pressure and techniques can be adjusted throughout—your comfort and consent guide the session.
Remedial massage can combine gentler work with more focused pressure, depending on your needs and preferences. Stronger pressure isn’t always better, and treatment does not need to be painful to be useful. Maddy and Scott also offer myofascial cupping within remedial appointments where appropriate; discuss this with your therapist when you arrive.
New to your therapist? Choose a 60-minute initial remedial massage so there’s time for a discussion and treatment. Returning clients can choose 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes, depending on availability and how many areas they’d like to address. A longer session gives you more time for several areas or a more unhurried appointment.
Your therapist may suggest gentle movement or practical self-care based on your session. Some people feel relaxed straight away; mild temporary soreness can also occur. Let your therapist know how you respond so future sessions can be adjusted to suit you.
