MOXIBUSTION REMEDIAL
At MyoFix we combine Moxibustion with Remedial massage. As we know Moxibustion is a heat treatment (burning of specifically chosen herbs) that stimulates circulation through penetrating the meridian points and creating a greater level of blood flow and QI (energy) throughout the body. It is especially good for back pain, menstrual cramps and arthritis as it removes toxins, moisture and cold from the body and promotes the body’s self-healing mechanisms and increases overall energy levels. Moxibustion paired with Remedial massage is an especially effective form of treatment when combine together as our therapists are able to use different techniques to help release chronic pain and engage a deeper level of QI within the body.
Moxibustion is traditionally used for:
- Pain due to injury or arthritis, especially associated with “cold” where the pain naturally feels better with the application of heat
- Digestive problems and irregular elimination
- Protection against cold and flu strains
Some other potential “bonuses” that may result from having our MyoFix Moxibustion Self-Healing Therapy are weight loss, elevated internal energy levels, improved sleep, improved digestion, improved alertness and focus, lower stress and many more.
The MyoFix Moxibustion Self-Healing Therapy typically comprises of a 7 day (can be consecutive days or once every two days) therapy that might be repeated at a specified interval which depends on a case to case basis. Most clients undergoing the MyoFix Moxibustion Self-Healing Therapy may develop some reactions or sensations such as itchiness, rashes, sweatiness, some pains etc. that last for a short period after which will subside. These are temporary conditions that are expected and not to be alarmed for as they are a good indicator that the MyoFix Moxibustion Self-Healing Therapy is starting to work and the body’s Self-Healing process is starting to kick in.

Is Remedial Massage painful?
Reduce stress and moreWhile remedial massage can be a relaxing experience, it is dependent upon the pressure you can tolerate as to what sensation your body will experience. Remedial massage is a highly skilled technique where the massage therapist can locate the problem area which is causing the pain and discomfort. It is very important to communicate to the therapist when things hurt and if any soreness or pain you experience is outside of your comfort range. There is usually some stiffness or tenderness after a remedial massage, but it should subside within a day or so.
How does Remedial Massage work?
Remedial massage works on localised areas of your body to break down muscle spasms (knot) and soften up the hard tissue to release any stiffness. Regular massage is an effective treatment to bring back muscle strength and tone. Remedial massage helps to relax the muscles, making musculoskeletal adjustment easier.What is the difference between Physiotherapy and Remedial Massage?
Physiotherapy is the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of conditions which result in pain, restricted movement, weakness and altered mobility caused by degeneration, illness or accident. Physiotherapists are qualified to use electrotherapy such as TENS and ultrasound. Traction, manipulation and mobilisation of jaw/limb and vertebral joints are also utilised.Remedial massage therapy is a hands-on treatment to soften tissue and restore function, relieve pain, promote healing and decrease muscle spasms and/or tension to improve physical or athletic performance. Remedial massage stimulates circulation and improves blood flow to the localised area.
Both physiotherapists and remedial massage therapists are able to prescribe strengthening exercises, stretches, balance exercises and postural training.
