Massage Therapy in Gold Coast
Either as a stand-alone service or in combination with chiropractic care, massage therapy can often help take your health to the next level. At Gold Coast Chiropractic Centre, our trained therapists offer various services tailored to your specific needs and goals.
You’ll have some new client paperwork to complete on your first visit, so we suggest coming in 15 minutes early.
NEW PATIENTS
Our Services
Our experienced therapists have a robust knowledge of anatomy and physiology, allowing them to analyse how best to help each patient. They use patient feedback to pinpoint damaged tissues and customise their approach and pressure to suit your needs, using techniques designed for injury recovery, post-surgical rehab and general body maintenance and wellbeing. Our techniques include:
Deep Tissue
This type of therapy focuses on the deeper muscles, with the goal of relieving severe tension for people with chronic persistent pain, those who have sustained an injury, or those with heavy physical stresses.
This intensive therapy targets chronic muscle tension below the superficial layers of muscle. Whilst relaxation techniques may assist the superficial layers, they will not relieve the underlying problems, which is where deep tissue therapy comes in.
Deep muscle techniques involve a slow stroke and friction motion across the muscle. Massage therapists will use their fingers, thumbs, hands, knuckles, forearms and elbows, depending on the area and pressure required. Deep tissue is therapeutic and targets a particular muscle or muscle group. Afterwards, patients may experience some localised muscular aches for 1-2 days.
Remedial
Remedial massage, as the name indicates, is used to remedy a problem and help the body return to normal function and movement – it’s not a caressing rub of your back.
This therapy is used to correct a range of injuries where the skin is intact.

Your therapist may utilise this technique for damage caused by overuse of certain muscle groups, to speed recovery after exercise or acute injury, to help with long-standing back and compound injuries that haven’t responded to other modalities, and as a preventive tool to keep muscles working optimally.
Myotherapy
This technique is designed to assess, address and rehabilitate physical pain and dysfunction anywhere in the body, in the same way a physio works. Using manual therapies including cupping, strapping and taping, corrective exercises and neuro flossing, our myotherapist conducts a movement assessment to determine how the body is moving and why it’s not moving optimally. Then it helps to correct it with specific therapies and rehab exercises.
Dry Needling
This therapy helps release trigger points in the fascia – those tight knots you feel, particularly in the deep layers of tissue.
Cupping
This therapy helps improve blood flow to specific areas of discomfort or dysfunction, speeding the healing process and providing relief.
Benefits of Massage Services
Therapeutic massage is not designed for relaxation but to promote healing. In addition to pain relief and improved function, an overall health improvement – often including better sleep, alertness and energy levels, and better performance at many everyday tasks – is often an additional outcome.
