REMEDIAL MASSAGE

Remedial massage deals with muscle fatigue release, balance improvement and rehabilitation.
Remedial massage techniques are used when muscles and tendons become damaged or impaired, knotted, tense or immobile.

Remedial massage treats the whole body holistically and traces the discomfort as far as possible back to the original cause, healing the cause of the disorder and as a consequence alleviating the symptoms.
In its holistic approach Remedial massage takes into account the connection, cause and effects processes of the muscular, skeletal and visceral system (respiratory system, digestive, reproductive system and circulatory).

Conditions that can be treated with Remedial massage may include:
  • Joint problems 
  • Muscle spasm and cramps 
  • Muscular atrophy 
  • Loss of muscle tone 
  • Sciatica 
  • Wry neck and headache 
  • Frozen shoulder 
  • Poor circulation 
  • Arthritis 
  • Fibrositis 
  • Spondylitis 
  • Whiplash 
  • Sports and dancing injuries.

Techniques such as deep pressure, trigger points and longitudinal strokes on shortened and tight muscles are used to locate and repair damage, support and speed up the body's own repair mechanisms, restore proper function and muscle strength.
Firm stimulating pressure and passive stretching moves are also used. 

Some benefits may be: 
  • stimulating the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscle to be removed 
  • calming the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort 
  • improving the health of the cells, repairing tissues 
  • toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility 
  • easing of stiffness and tension.
