Care.
Relief.
Results.
Welcome to Apex
Personalised remedial and sports massage in the Blue Mountains — by a team that listens, treats and genuinely cares.
When pain keeps circling back, it’s not just tight muscles — it’s your body asking to be understood.
Your Apex Journey
Real progress comes from consistency — not intensity.
Building regular massage into your weekly routine is not only the key to lasting results, but also an essential way to maintain balance in your body. At Apex Remedial and Sports Massage in the Blue Mountains, every session therefore supports your body’s recovery, enhances mobility, and promotes long-term strength.
As a result, by staying consistent — rather than intense — you’ll start to feel the benefits gradually stacking up week after week. In turn, this leads to reduced pain, freer movement, and faster recovery from both training and everyday tension.
Ultimately, each stage of your journey then builds on the last, helping your body move from relief to resilience over time.
Week 1 · Relief you can feel — first reset
You’ll walk out looser and lighter. We release what’s guarding (trigger points, adhesions), calm irritated tissue, and give you 1–2 tiny between-session moves so relief lasts longer than the table.
Week 3 · Mobility & control — flare-ups reduce
Pain settles and movement feels smoother. Posture feels easier and you notice what sets you up well at work, in training, and at rest. Your micro-routine keeps wins steady.
Week 6 · Strength that sticks — reliable days
Tension stops rebounding. Muscles load and relax on cue; the shoulder/hip/back feels trustworthy through the day, not just after a session. We fine-tune your 2–5 minute daily plan.
Week 12 · Feel “normal” again → Beyond
You’re doing what you love with confidence: less guarding, better sleep, fewer flare patterns. Space sessions 3–4 weeks apart; tighten spacing during busy/high-load phases, then glide back to a steady rhythm.

CHOOSE A Style that suits you
Remedial & Sports Massage
Targeted, hands-on treatment that eases pain, restores movement, and helps you trust your body again. In addition, we assess what’s driving the tightness, treat what’s doing the guarding, and give you 1–2 simple between-session tips so results last.
- What makes it different? Remedial sessions target specific tissues and patterns rather than following a set routine.
- Techniques we may use (as needed): trigger point therapy, myofascial release, muscle energy techniques, PNF stretching and muscle stripping.
- Good for: neck/shoulder or low-back pain, hip/hamstring tightness, tendinopathy, desk or training overload, and post-injury recovery.
One-on-One Stretching
You relax— we guide your joints and tissues through safe ranges so everything feels longer, lighter, and easier to move. Great before/after training, after long desk days, or anytime stiffness stacks up.
- Why it helps: regular stretching keeps muscles flexible so joints keep their comfortable range of motion.
- Expect: gentle, therapist-guided mobility with breathing cues and PNF-style holds where useful.
- Benefits: less body tension and joint stiffness, better posture, easier daily movement, and a calm, clear head.
Relaxation / Swedish Massage
Unwind fully. Long, flowing strokes calm the nervous system, ease muscle tension, and leave you rested and reset. Ideal for stress, busy seasons, and better sleep.
- Classic Swedish techniques: effleurage (long strokes), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic percussion), and gentle vibration.
- Why it works: improves circulation, reduces muscle guarding, and promotes feel-good hormones (endorphins, serotonin and dopamine) while lowering stress chemistry.
- Choose this when you want full-body ease without the ‘deep-work’ focus of remedial.

FAQs
About Apex Remedial and Sports Massage:
What can I expect during my first visit to Apex?
From the moment you arrive, we focus on helping you feel comfortable and understood. First, your therapist will take time to listen — not just to where it hurts, but also to how it affects your daily life. Then, we’ll assess your movement, explain what we find, and design your session around your needs. As a result, you’ll leave feeling lighter, looser, and confident knowing there’s a plan for lasting results.
How often should I book a remedial or sports massage?
Every body is different. However, many of our clients find the best results come from regular sessions every 2–4 weeks, especially when they’re active or recovering from injury. Over time, as progress builds, we gradually space sessions further apart so that you can maintain your results and keep feeling your best.
About Massage Techniques:
What does remedial massage actually do?
Remedial massage goes beyond relaxation — it’s about helping your body heal, move, and feel better. In each session, our therapists use specific hands-on techniques to release tension, ease pain, and support recovery from everyday strain or injury. By doing so, they not only address symptoms but also promote long-term improvement. Ultimately, by understanding how your body moves and what’s holding it back, we help restore balance, reduce discomfort, and improve how you feel day to day.
Is remedial massage painful?
Remedial massage should never feel harsh or punishing. While some techniques can be firm as we release deep tension, you’ll always be in control — we check in with you constantly. Because of this, our goal is to create release, not discomfort. In the end, you should leave feeling freer, not bruised or sore.
What’s the difference between remedial and regular massage?
A regular or relaxation massage is designed to calm your mind and body. In contrast, a remedial massage is focused on results — releasing what’s tight, supporting recovery, and helping you move freely again. That’s why, at Apex Remedial and Sports Massage in the Blue Mountains, every session is tailored to you: your body, your goals, and your lifestyle.
What is a Swedish massage?
Swedish massage is the classic relaxation treatment — flowing strokes, gentle kneading, and soothing rhythm. As such, it’s perfect for reducing stress, calming the nervous system, and helping the body recover from daily life. In many cases, we also combine elements of Swedish massage into remedial sessions to create a complete body reset.
The benefits of Massage:
What are the benefits of a relaxation massage?
Relaxation massage helps release stress, improve circulation, and reset your nervous system. In addition, it boosts feel-good hormones like endorphins and serotonin, helping your body unwind while your mind finds calm. Ultimately, it’s not just a luxury — it’s self-care that supports your wellbeing, both physically and mentally.
Are there benefits to regular massage instead of waiting until pain flares up?
Absolutely! Just like exercise, the benefits of massage build over time. With consistency, regular sessions help keep muscles relaxed, joints mobile, and tension from building up again. In other words, it’s the difference between reacting to pain and preventing it. Over time, at Apex, we see consistent clients experience fewer flare-ups, faster recovery, and more “good days” between sessions — because their bodies stay balanced and strong.
What happens when you stretch every day?
Consistent stretching not only relieves tension, but it also helps you reconnect with your body. As a result, you’ll notice better posture, smoother movement, and less stiffness. Beyond the physical benefits, it’s also grounding — a way to breathe, slow down, and release stress, even on busy days.
