Remedial Massage Therapy
Remedial Massage is a healing treatment that can be gentle or strong, shallow or deep. When muscles and tendons become damaged or impaired, knotted, tense or immobile, Remedial Massage can provide relief.
Remedial Massage holistically treats the whole body and traces the discomfort as far back as possible to the original cause, helping both the cause of the disorder as well as the symptoms.
Key benefits of Remedial Massage include:
- the stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed;
- 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 therapeutic muscle work.
Muscular and skeletal dysfunctions often addressed with Remedial Massage include fibrositis, spondylitis, arthritis, frozen shoulder, muscular cramps, whiplash, muscular atrophy, athletic and dancing injuries.
There are many problems that can be helped by massage:
- tension
- anxiety
- muscle aches and pains
- back, shoulder and neck pain
- fatigue
- stress
Endorphins are released during massage, which gives the body an overall feeling of relaxation and well-being.
