Remedial Massage

Remedial massage, sometimes known as deep tissue massage focuses on treating specific muscular aches, pains, and movement restrictions. Whether you're experiencing tension from poor posture, recovering from physical activity, or dealing with ongoing muscular discomfort

A combination of advanced massage techniques are used:

Myofascial Release Therapy

In addition to traditional massage techniques, Myofascial release technique focuses on the fascia - the connective tissue that surrounds and supports the muscles.  Sustained pressure is used to release restrictions to restore normal movement patterns. 

Neuromuscular Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy focuses on specific areas of muscle tension known as trigger points. These sensitive points can develop as a result of stress, repetitive strain, injury or poor posture and cause not only local discomfort but referred pain in other parts of the body.

Personalised Massage Treatments

No two bodies are the same, which is why every massage treatment is tailored to your individual needs.

During your appointment, techniques, treatment areas, and pressure levels can be adapted based on your symptoms, preferences, and goals. Whether you prefer a gentler therapeutic approach or a deeper treatment, your session will be customised to ensure the best possible outcome.

Benefits of Remedial Massage

Chronic Pain Management

Chronic pain conditions, such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, whiplash, fibromyalgia, arthritis, tennis elbow and sciatica can be helped with regular remedial massage.  The deep tissue techniques target the root cause of pain, releasing muscle tension and promoting relaxation, which can lead to a reduction in chronic discomfort.

Better Posture

Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk, sedentary jobs, or poor ergonomics can lead to postural issues.  Remedial massage helps address muscle imbalances, releases tension in specific areas contributing to poor posture, and assists in retraining the muscles to achieve a more balanced and aligned posture.

Exercise Recovery and Enhancement

Remedial massage helps the recovery process after exercise such as running, golf, cycling, football and gym work. It reduces muscle tension and promoting blood flow to the affected areas while taking away waste products.  This increased circulation aids the recovery preventing the formation of scar tissue and improving flexibility.

Preventive Maintenance

Regular sessions can identify and address potential issues before they develop into more significant problems and reduce the risk of injuries. This preventive approach is particularly beneficial for those with physically demanding lifestyles or occupations that involve repetitive movements.

Better Flexibility and Range of Motion

By targeting deeper muscle layers and connective tissues, remedial massage helps improve flexibility and increase the range of motion, particularly important as we age.

Reduced Stress and Improved Emotional Wellbeing

The release of endorphins during the massage helps reduce stress levels and improve sleep quality. The combination of focused techniques and relaxation contributes to an overall sense of well-being.

Improved Immune System

Regular massage sessions have been shown to boost the immune system, enhancing the body's ability to defend against illness.
