Remedial massage is a complementary therapy which aims to locate and repair damaged areas of the body and speed up the body’s own healing processes.

 

Problems with the muscles can trigger or radiate pain to other parts of the body. Remedial massage aims to trace the original reason for the pain, tackling both the cause of the problem and the symptoms.

​

Remedial massage can stimulate the blood supply, make joints more mobile, and help to repair damaged tissues. The therapist will aim to balance the length, tone and tension of muscles and tendons, which restores the correct position of the bones, increases blood flow and helps heal injuries.

​

Easing and stabilising the muscles can improve problems such as headaches, abdominal pain, low back pain and sciatic pain.

​

The pressure applied in this healing treatment can either be strong and deep or gentle and shallow, depending on the problem.

​

Some health problems that are often treated with remedial massage include sporting and dance injuries, muscle cramps, whiplash, muscular atrophy, fibrositis, spondylitis, arthritis 

and frozen shoulder.
