REMEDIAL MASSAGE THERAPY

  • Remedial massage therapy is a hands-on treatment designed to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and support the body’s recovery from injury or stress. It’s more than just relaxation — your therapist will assess your individual needs and use targeted techniques to treat the root cause of discomfort. Whether you're dealing with a sore neck, tight shoulders, or ongoing aches, remedial massage can help you move more freely and feel better in your body.

  • Remedial massage therapists are skilled in identifying and treating specific areas of tension, pain, or injury in the body. After assessing your posture, movement, and any areas of discomfort, they use a range of targeted techniques designed to address the root cause of the issue — not just the symptoms.

    These treatments may include:

    • Deep tissue massage to release chronic muscle tension and break down knots

    • Trigger point therapy to relieve pain caused by tight, overworked muscles

    • Myofascial release to gently stretch and release connective tissue restrictions

    • Joint mobilization and assisted stretching to improve flexibility and range of motion

    • Lymphatic drainage techniques to reduce swelling and promote healing after injury

    Each session is tailored to your unique needs, whether you're managing an injury, recovering from physical strain, or seeking relief from everyday aches and stiffness. The goal is to support your body’s natural healing process, improve mobility, and help you feel more balanced and at ease.

  • Remedial massage therapy is designed to help your body feel and function better. It can ease tight, sore muscles, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support recovery from injuries or overuse. If you’re experiencing tension from work, exercise, or everyday stress, this targeted treatment helps restore balance and relieve pain. You may notice better posture, increased flexibility, and a greater sense of ease in your body — helping you move more freely and feel more like yourself again.

  • Remedial massage is a versatile therapy that can assist with many common aches, pains, and physical conditions. It’s especially effective for:

    • Ongoing neck, shoulder, or lower back pain

    • Tight or overworked muscles from stress, work, or exercise

    • Injuries such as strains, sprains, or muscle tears

    • Tension headaches and migraines related to muscle tightness

    • Poor posture or stiffness from long hours sitting or standing

    • Nerve pain including sciatica and referred pain

    • Repetitive strain injuries like tennis elbow or carpal tunnel

    • Limited flexibility or reduced range of motion

    • Post-injury or post-surgery recovery

    Whether you're managing chronic discomfort or recovering from a specific issue, remedial massage works to relieve pain, improve mobility, and support your body’s natural healing process.
