Remedial Massage

                       How is a Remedial Massage Different?

Instead of the “one size fits all” solution of regular massages, remedial massage practitioners tailor a treatment to your specific needs.

When you go in for a remedial massage, the therapist will assess your body and where your pain or discomfort originates. From there, they’ll give you an individualised treatment geared toward healing you.

All massages promote relaxation, but remedial massage is also considered a medical practice. This form of massage therapy addresses the source of physical pain or discomfort and creates a solution unique to your needs.

If you have particular muscle tension or chronic pain a remedial massage may be for you. Your remedial massage therapist will assess where you need treatment and what may be causing your pain. They’ll perform some tests to see exactly which muscles are giving you trouble and will tailor a treatment plan to suit. The treatment itself may involve deep tissue work for short periods of time, but the results are definitely worth it! 

Conditions such as sciatica, carpal tunnel, stiff necks, headaches, sports injuries and many more complaints can be eased with a remedial treatment.
