What is Remedial Massage?
Remedial massage is a targeted treatment approach that addresses myofascial pain and movement dysfunction by working on the body’s soft tissues—including muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia.
This therapy aims to relieve pain, restore function, and support recovery by treating the root causes of discomfort rather than just the symptoms. Each session is tailored to the individual, with techniques and pressure levels adapted to meet specific therapeutic needs following a thorough assessment.
Remedial massage can assist with:
- Muscle tension and chronic back pain
- Inflammation and joint stiffness
- Stress and anxiety
- Headaches and migraines
- Reduced joint mobility and flexibility
- Injury recovery and rehabilitation
- Improved circulation
- Occupational Overuse Syndrome
- Postural imbalances
- Motor vehicle accident recovery
- Pregnancy and postnatal discomfort
Techniques may include:
- Swedish massage
- Deep tissue massage
- Myofascial release
- Muscle Energy Technique (MET)
- Trigger Point Therapy
- Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Stretch therapy and cupping may also be incorporated when appropriate, to enhance the effectiveness of treatment and promote lasting results.
