Massage Therapy in Gold Coast
If tight shoulders, a stiff lower back or lingering muscle tension are getting in the way of your day, massage therapy may be worth considering. At Gold Coast Chiropractic, our massage therapists work alongside our chiropractic team to provide personalised care based on your individual needs and preferences, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Whether you’re looking to unwind after a busy week, recover from physical activity or simply feel less restricted in your movement, we’re here to help you explore the options available.
Deep Tissue, Remedial Massage and Myotherapy Under One Roof
Our therapists offer a range of massage techniques so your appointment can be tailored to your goals and comfort level.
Deep Tissue
Deep tissue massage uses slower, firmer pressure to work through the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It’s commonly chosen by people experiencing ongoing muscle tightness, physically demanding lifestyles or returning to activity following an injury. Some people experience mild muscle soreness for a day or two afterwards, which your therapist will discuss with you before treatment.
Dry Needling and Cupping
Where appropriate, your therapist may discuss incorporating dry needling or cupping into your appointment. Dry needling involves the use of fine needles in targeted muscles as part of a broader myotherapy or remedial massage approach, while cupping uses gentle suction cups on the skin. Your therapist will explain these techniques, answer any questions and discuss whether they may be suitable for your individual circumstances before proceeding.
Remedial
Remedial massage uses techniques such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release and cupping as part of an individualised approach to muscle and soft tissue care. Your therapist will assess your needs before selecting the techniques most appropriate for you.
Myotherapy
Myotherapy builds on remedial massage and may include dry needling, cupping, taping and exercise prescription where appropriate. Your therapist may also assess how you’re moving to help determine which techniques best suit your individual circumstances. Throughout every appointment, pressure and technique can be adjusted based on your feedback so your session remains comfortable and appropriate for you.
Common Reasons People Consider Massage Therapy

- Neck and shoulder tension

If any of these sound familiar, our team can discuss the different massage options available and help you decide which approach may be most appropriate.
