Remedial Massage is a form of deep tissue massage which is focused on regaining normal muscle and soft tissue flexibility to assist recovery from or to help prevent injury.
Massage therapy works by increasing blood flow to the tissues, assisting with scar tissue breakdown, and encouraging lymphatic drainage of swelling and waste products.
Using firm pressure and stretching to loosen key areas of tightness, restoring flexibility and movement, massage works deep within the muscles to free areas of restriction and help correct posture, making it ideal for people with lower back pain or neck and shoulder tension.
It is especially suited for office workers who spend hours at a computer or desk, or those with active, busy lifestyles.
People of all ages are turning to massage therapy for relief from the stress of daily life, injuries and chronic and acute conditions, as well as to help maintain health and wellness. Using soft-tissue manipulation techniques, massage reduces stress and fatigue, while improving circulation. Depending on the style of massage, techniques may include stroking, kneading, rocking, tapping or holding steady pressure.
