What is Remedial Massage?
Remedial massage is a hands-on treatment that focuses on identifying and addressing areas of muscle tension, restriction, or dysfunction. It targets muscles that may be tight, overworked, or injured due to factors such as sport, posture, stress, or daily activities.
Using a range of techniques, remedial massage aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, support recovery, and promote the body’s natural healing processes.
How Can Massage Help You?
Remedial massage can assist with a wide range of conditions and concerns, including:
- Muscle tightness and tension
- Sports injuries and recovery
- Postural aches and pains
- Headaches and neck pain
- Stress and fatigue
- General stiffness and reduced mobility
By improving circulation, reducing muscle tension, and supporting lymphatic flow, massage therapy can help you feel more relaxed while also improving physical function.
What Will The Treatment Involve?
Your first session will begin with a discussion about your symptoms, health history, and goals. Your therapist may perform a brief assessment to identify areas of tension or dysfunction and ensure treatment is appropriate for you.
From there, a personalised treatment plan will be developed, tailored to your needs. Techniques may include:
- Deep tissue massage
- Trigger point therapy
- Myofascial release
- Relaxation techniques
- Advice on movement, posture, and recovery
Each session is adjusted to suit your comfort level and treatment goals, whether you’re after targeted relief or a more general reset.
