Deep Segment Massage ™
Beyond a massage to set your body free.
Give your overworked, over stretched muscles the opportunity to truly heal
Unlocking Your Body, Segment by Segment
This is Knot Away’s signature technique and is not your average massage, it is uniquely designed for precise and profound therapeutic results that last. This massage targets specific problem areas. Our therapists begin the session by meticulously assessing your body’s needs, dividing it into segments and focusing their expertise intensely on your problem areas. This targeted approach helps us to go straight to the root cause of your pain, providing a more effective and lasting solution.
The Treament – Deep & Targeted Release
This treatment incorporates deeper, more concentrated pressure than typical massages to break down stubborn, chronic knots in your deep muscle tissues. To achieve this, our therapists expertly use hands, knuckles, forearms, and even their elbows. In specific cases, and with your consent, we may also use feet to apply the necessary pressure to release deep-seated tension, ensuring a truly profound and effective treatment. The result is not just temporary relief, but a significant improvement in your muscle function and long-term comfort.
Who Is Knot Away’s Deep Segment Massage ™ For?
Our Deep Segment Massage™ is designed for those who are tired of temporary fixes and are looking for lasting relief from chronic pain. It’s not a relaxation massage, it’s a results-driven, therapeutic treatment.
This Treatment Is Perfect For:
The Office Worker: If you spend your days sitting at a desk, staring at a screen, or have what’s known as ‘Tech Neck’, this massage is for you. We specifically target the knots and tension that build up in your neck, shoulders, and lower back from poor posture and long hours. This segment-specific approach allows us to delve deep into problem areas, breaking down the stiffness that a standard massage simply can’t reach.
The Athlete: Whether you’re a serious runner, a gym regular, a weekend football player, or any other sports enthusiast, whose body takes a beating, the Deep Segment Massage™ is your ideal recovery tool. The therapist focuses on specific muscle groups—like tight hamstrings, sore calves, or an overworked back—to improve your range of motion, speed up recovery, and help prevent future injuries. It’s the perfect way to keep your body in top condition for your next training session or game.
The Hard-Working Tradie: This treatment is perfect for anyone who does physical labour and knows what true muscle fatigue feels like. Your body is your most valuable tool, and a standard massage won’t cut it. This treatment effectively releases the deep-seated tension and chronic aches from a hard day’s work. We focus on the segments that get the most wear and tear, such as your lower back and shoulders, providing a powerful and effective solution to your pain.
If you have a specific, recurring pain and are looking for a massage that gets to the root of the problem instead of just scratching the surface, our Deep Segment Massage™ is your ideal choice.
Choosing Your Deep Segment Massage™
Selecting the right length for your Deep Segment Massage™ is crucial for getting the best results. For chronic or specific pain, we highly recommend focusing on one area. For example, if you’re experiencing persistent back pain, a 90-minute upper body massage allows our therapists to use our signature techniques to truly work into your muscles for a lasting, effective result. Similarly, for issues in your legs, we suggest a 90-minute lower body session.
If you’re looking for a whole-body Deep Segment Massage™, we recommend a minimum of 2.5 hours to ensure we can properly address all areas and provide the therapeutic depth needed. For a truly comprehensive and deeply therapeutic experience our 2.5 hour or longer session is the ideal choice.

Frequently asked questions
This is one of our most specialised treatments, so it’s natural to have questions. Here are a few things to know.
The key difference is the focus. A standard deep tissue massage may address multiple areas of the body. Our Deep Segment Massage™ is a methodical protocol that dedicates an entire session to a specific body region (or ‘segment’), allowing for a much deeper and more thorough release of that area.
This is an intense therapy, and you will feel deep pressure. However, it should always be within your tolerance. We call this ‘therapeutic discomfort.’ Your therapist will be in constant communication with you to ensure the pressure is effective but never injurious or unbearably painful.
No. The strength of this technique lies in its focused approach. A single session is typically dedicated to one segment, for example, the lower back and hips. Your therapist will discuss which segment to focus on based on your initial assessment and goals.
It is very common to feel significant muscle soreness in the treated segment for 24 to 72 hours afterwards. This is a normal response to the deep release work. We recommend gentle movement, hydration, and possibly a warm bath to help with recovery.
Yes. As this is a clinical therapy performed by a qualified Remedial Massage Therapist, it is claimable under ‘Remedial Massage’ with most major Australian private health funds. We will provide a receipt with all necessary details for your claim.
