Remedial Massage Therapy at Inline Health Chiropractic
How does massage therapy work?
Massage promotes healing by increasing circulation of blood and lymph which reduces painful swelling and inflammation and brings vital nutrients to damaged tissues.
In addition, massage therapy removes waste products (such as lactic/carbonic acid) and stimulates healthy separation and realignment of chronically contracted muscle fibres.
Massage triggers the body’s relaxation response, interrupting a cycle of stress and muscle tension that can accumulate in response to life’s challenges.

How can I know if a massage therapist is qualified?
This means that if you are privately insured for massage you are entitled to a rebate or if you are injured at work and your claim is accepted massage can be bulk billed to Workcover.
There are many people who call themselves massage therapists who are not really qualified because there is no government body that regulates the practice of massage therapy. Inline Health does not recommend using unqualified practitioners.
