What Is Remedial Massage?
Remedial massage is a therapeutic treatment focused on the musculoskeletal system. While it can be very relaxing, it is more targeted and treatment orientated. It focuses on treating muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia that may be causing pain, tightness or reducing mobility.
It incorporates a variety of techniques such as trigger point therapy and myofascial release, in order to reduce musculoskeletal tensions, improve mobility and ease pain.
How Does Remedial Massage Differ
to Other Types Of Massage?
There are many different styles of massage, such as relaxation massage or hot stone massage. While Remedial Massage can can be very relaxing, its main focus is to assist in pain management, injury management and preventative care.
Throughout a Remedial Massage, the practitioner is continually assessing and treating tension patterns and asymmetries. Clients may notice that certain areas of the body require more time and attention than others. This is because treatment is guided by the body’s structural or functional imbalances and areas of tension. The aim is to treat both the localised symptoms, and the global imbalances that may be influencing your pain symptoms.
Treatment does not need to be painful to be effective, however, at times, it may involve working within a level of “comfortably uncomfortable”. The practitioner will monitor the body’s response and communicate with you throughout the session to ensure the treatment remains both effective and appropriate.
