Short, practical moves that keep your remedial massage working longer — for busy Melburnians. I’m Ollie, a certified remedial therapist using a biopsychosocial approach, and these three evidence-informed stretches and self-massage tips help reduce tension and pain between sessions. 1) Thoracic rotation stretch: Sit tall, cross arms, gently rotate each side 10 reps to loosen upper back stiffness. 2) Hip flexor kneeling stretch: Hold 30 seconds each side to ease lower-back strain from long days sitting. 3) Self-massage with a tennis ball: Roll the mid-back and glutes for 1–2 minutes to release knots and improve tissue mobility. Do them once or twice daily — short, consistent actions make a real difference. They extend your treatment, reduce the need for extra clinic visits, and fit into busy days in Fitzroy, Northcote, Preston and beyond. Want tailored guidance? Book with me: https://wix.to/fZgdxwk
