When muscles and tendons become damaged or impaired, knotted and tense or immobile, Remedial Massage provides a healing treatment that can be soft or firm, deep or shallow.
Remedial massage treats the whole body and traces the discomfort as far as possible back to the original cause, helping fix both the cause of the problem as well as the symptoms.
There are several specialised techniques to locate and repair damage and to support and speed up the body’s own repair mechanisms.
The massage is applied directly to the skin using a lubricating medium, usually oil, which ensures that the muscles associated with the disorder and mobilisation of the joint are treated.
Passive stretching moves are also used.
The benefits of Remedial Massage include: stimulation to the blood supply allowing built up toxins in the muscles to be released; the calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort; and the toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility.
An improvement to the health of the cells, the repairing of tissues, and the easing of stiffness and tension can also be experienced through both Remedial and therapeutic relaxation massage.
