How Can Remedial Massage Help?

Remedial massage is a therapeutic massage technique that focuses on addressing specific issues and injuries in the body. Here are some of the benefits of remedial massage and why you might consider it:

Pain relief: Remedial massage can help reduce pain and discomfort by targeting the root cause of the problem. The massage therapist will work on specific areas of the body to release tension, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

Improved posture: Poor posture can cause a range of problems, including back pain, headaches, and reduced range of motion. Remedial massage can help improve your posture by releasing tension in the muscles, promoting proper alignment, and reducing stress on the joints.

Increased flexibility: Regular remedial massage can help increase flexibility and range of motion by releasing tension and adhesions in the muscles, promoting better circulation, and improving joint mobility.

Injury prevention: Remedial massage can help prevent injuries by identifying and addressing imbalances and weaknesses in the body. By keeping your body in good condition, you'll be less likely to suffer from sprains, strains, and other injuries.

Overall, remedial massage can help improve your physical health and well-being in a variety of ways. It's a great way to address specific issues and injuries, as well as to maintain good overall health and fitness.

Remedial Massage - An Overview

With the stresses and strains of everyday life in the work place or at home our bodies are continually under pressure to keep going.  As a result we suffer all manner of aches and pains which can be as a result of heavy manual labour or occur through repetitive strain from more sedentary occupations such as office work.

Whilst medication (in the form of anti-inflammatories and painkillers) gives a welcome short term relief it does not always return the sufferer to normal mobility as scar tissue and restricted muscles, ligaments and tendons may persist.

Remedial Massage is a deep tissue massage that efficiently treats injuries whilst removing blockages and damaged cells. This speeds up recovery and encourages complete healing. For thousands of years it was the principal method of treating musculo-skeletal problems. It produces both physical and psychological benefits and can be used as an injury preventative technique as well as a treatment.

Massage works on many different levels and it is the unique way in which it combines the various benefits to suit the individual that makes it such a versatile and effective treatment method.

The benefits of remedial massage include improved circulation, reduced soft tissue swelling (where present), breakdown of scar tissue after injury, reduced muscle tension or spasm and a general feeling of well-being.

The process of remedial massage is deeper than relaxing massage and therefore the benefits are usually greater.
