Corrective Massage Therapy

Corrective Massage Therapy is like no other massage therapy/modality as the goal is to alleviate pain by correcting individual postures, we address the root cause of the musculo-skeletal pain and restriction, not the symptoms of it. For example chiropractic medicine focuses on correcting misalignment’s of the skeleton to reduce/eliminate nerve impingement’s etc., however as bones do not have the capacity to move themselves, this approach will only yield a benefit in the short term. Hence Corrective Massages’ focus on the single largest organ of our bodies, our muscles, which accounts for on average 50% of our body weight.To correct posture a combination of specific massage and specific exercise prescription is necessary, all of which we provide. The massage component includes a combination of specific Corrective Massage techniques, Remedial Therapy, Relaxation, Deep Tissue Therapy, Sports (tapotement occasionally) and Trigger Point Therapy to relax those dominant muscles which are driving the individual into their dysfunctional posture, specific exercises is prescribed to strengthen those weak muscles which have allowed postural dysfunction to occur.

The effectiveness of our CMT’s (Corrective Massage Therapists) treatments depend on a number of variables, the main ones are as follows:

How long the postural dysfunction has been allowed to perpetuate itself
How many aggravating factors are involved, e.g. Sport and Occupation
The age of the individual (the older the client, the more fibrous muscles and connective tissues become. This is a natural occurrence as nature sacrifices our joint mobility for stability)
Level of activity – disuse can be worse than overuse
Whether the postural dysfunction is due to functional (muscular driven) factors or structural abnormalities (genetic skeletal abnormalities)

The fitness of the client – the fitter the individual the faster he/she will recover from treatments and the deeper our CMT’s are able to work to maximize benefit

Improved posture results in improved musculo-skeletal (muscle and skeleton) function, visceral (organs) function, lymphatic and blood circulation. See Benefits of Corrective Massage
