Remedial massage is used to locate and repair damaged areas of the body and speed up the body’s own healing processes. The pressure applied in this healing treatment can either be strong and deep or gentle and shallow. Problems with the muscles can trigger or radiate pain to other parts of the body. Remedial massage aims to trace the original reason for the pain, tackling both the cause of the problem and the symptoms. Remedial will use a number of different techniques - Muscle tension release - Deep tissue therapy - Cross friction massage - Static release - Joint mobilisation - Trigger point therapy - Acupressure release - Passive stretching - Myotherapy - Relaxation - Strapping to strengthen or release muscle - Cupping - Dry Needling . The health benefits of remedial massage can stimulate the blood supply, make joints more mobile, and help to repair damaged tissues. This treatment will aim to balance the length, tone and tension of muscles and tendons, which restores the correct position of the bones, increases blood flow and helps heal inflammation that causes the injuries. Easing and stabilising the muscles can improve problems such as - low back pain - sciatic pain - arthritis - as well as reducing symptoms of migraines, headaches, Sore Neck / whiplash- Hip pain, leg pain - Postural strain - Stiffness - shoulder - elbow tension.
