Remedial Massage
Remedial massage focuses on assessing specific musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. It is a targeted form of massage therapy that aims to alleviate pain, improve function, and promote overall well-being.
During a remedial massage session, your therapist will conduct a thorough assessment. This is designed to identify any areas of pain, tension, muscular imbalances, or dysfunction. They will then apply various massage techniques to address these specific issues. These techniques may include deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, lymphatic drainage, and stretching.
The primary goal of remedial massage is to address the underlying cause of the musculoskeletal condition or injury. The therapist works to relieve muscular tension and reduce pain and inflammation. They may also assist in improving blood circulation and enhancing the body’s natural healing processes.
Remedial massage may be beneficial for people with a wide range of conditions, including back pain, neck and shoulder tension, sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, headaches, and postural imbalances. It may also be used as a preventive measure to maintain optimal muscle health and prevent future injuries.
