Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is the combination of specialised massage techniques and stretching aimed to treat the causes of musculoskeletal dysfunction, rather than just focusing solely on pain relief. The treatment provides a thorough assessment of joint and muscle movements allowing for a more effective treatment for both acute and chronic conditions while supporting and speeding up the body's own repair mechanisms.
Remedial Massage helps release tired and painful muscles, breaks down scar tissue, muscle adhesions and knots and helps to re-educate physical posture or promote recovery from injury or surgery.
