Pain Patterns: How Remedial Massage Targets the Root Cause. - The Body in Balance Series

If you've ever had a massage that felt great during the session but left you feeling sore again the next day, you’re not alone. Most standard massages focus only on the surface. But at BSPOKR, we do things differently. Our Remedial Massage Therapy sessions are designed to go deeper—literally and figuratively—by identifying and treating the root cause of your pain.

Located on the Mornington Peninsula, we’re passionate about helping locals get real, lasting relief—not just a quick fix.

The Problem with “Band-Aid” Pain Relief

Muscle tension, stiffness, or recurring pain often has underlying causes that go unnoticed:

• Postural habits (like slouching or leaning to one side)

• Compensations from old injuries or surgeries

• Repetitive movements or overuse

• Weak or underactive muscles that aren’t pulling their weight

If your treatment only focuses on the painful area, you might feel temporary relief—but the problem keeps coming back.

What We Look For at BSPOKR

At your first session, we’ll perform a postural assessment, range of motion tests, and ask detailed questions about your lifestyle and history. This allows us to uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface.

We then build a plan that may include:

🎯 Trigger Point Therapy – to release knots causing referred pain
🧩 Postural Correction Techniques – to re-train how your body holds itself
💪 Muscle Activation Work – to wake up underused muscles
🌱 Long-Term Strategy – to reduce flare-ups and keep your body functioning at its best

Common Pain Patterns We Treat

✔️ Neck and shoulder tension that leads to headaches
✔️ Lower back pain caused by weak glutes or tight hips
✔️ Sciatica symptoms from deep muscle compression
✔️ Knee pain rooted in hip misalignment
✔️ Wrist and elbow pain linked to upper back posture

Every body is different—and so is every BSPOKR treatment plan.
