Therapeutic Massage in Albert Park & Middle Park
Therapeutic massage sits at the intersection of clinical treatment and genuine relief — addressing pain, tension and stress in the body while leaving you feeling calmer and more restored. It's a hands-on approach that treats the whole picture: physical tension, nervous system stress, and the cumulative toll of daily life. At Matt Durston Massage, therapeutic treatment draws on over 20 years of clinical experience to identify exactly what your body needs in each session.
What Is Therapeutic Massage?
Therapeutic massage combines techniques from remedial and relaxation massage — using moderate to firm pressure, myofascial release and targeted muscle work to relieve tension while still allowing your nervous system to properly unwind. It's particularly suited to clients dealing with both physical symptoms and stress-related tension, where treating one without the other doesn't give lasting results.
Who’s It For?
Therapeutic massage is well suited to:
Clients with chronic stress-related muscle tension
People managing both physical pain and high stress levels
Desk workers with tension headaches and upper back tightness
Anyone wanting a treatment that's more targeted than relaxation but gentler than deep tissue
Clients returning for regular maintenance sessions
What to Expect
Each session begins with a short conversation about how you're feeling — physically and otherwise — so treatment can be calibrated accordingly. Matt works through areas of tension using a blend of firm and flowing technique, adjusting pressure based on what your body responds to. Sessions run 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes, with 60 minutes the most popular choice for a thorough full-body treatment.
