Remedial massage is a therapeutic form of bodywork designed to treat musculoskeletal pain, tension, and dysfunction. Unlike relaxation massages, which primarily aim to promote general well-being and reduce stress, remedial massage focuses on identifying and addressing specific issues within the body’s muscles, tendons, and connective tissues.
The treatment involves various techniques, including deep tissue manipulation, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, dry needling and stretching exercises. By targeting problem areas, remedial massage aims to restore balance and promote the natural healing process. Our therapist will assess your posture, range of motion, and areas of discomfort to tailor the session to your unique needs.
Remedial massage can provide a wide range of benefits. It can help alleviate chronic pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve mobility. It is particularly effective for treating sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, and postural imbalances. Additionally, the improved blood flow and lymphatic drainage resulting from the massage can aid in faster recovery and reduce inflammation.
Beyond physical relief, remedial massage can also promote mental well-being by reducing stress and improving sleep quality. Whether you’re an athlete recovering from an injury or someone dealing with everyday aches and pains, remedial massage offers a holistic and effective approach to improving overall health and function.
