Remedial Massage today is becoming more and more recognised as a legitimate way of repairing muscles and tendons damaged through over use, trauma or bad posture. Remedial massage involves a number of applied techniques involving deep pressure, trigger points released and longtitiudinal strokes on shortened and tight muscles to allow proper function and restore muscle strength.

Benefits of Remedial Massage

Key benefits of Remedial Massage include: the stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed; the calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort; and the toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility. An improvement to the health of the cells, the repairing of tissues, and the easing of stiffness and tension can also be experienced through therapeutic relaxation.

Muscular and skeletal dysfunctions often addressed with Remedial Massage include Fibrositis, Spondylitis, Arthritis, frozen shoulder, muscular cramps, Whiplash, muscular atrophy, sports and dancing injuries.

Sessions usually take 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the whether the practitioner will just address a specific area or give a whole body massage. As oil is used, it is necessary for the patient to be unclothed for the treatment.
Why Should Everyone Get a regular massage?

Tired, sore and stressed out?
Most people would agree a massage makes them feel good. But many probably don't realise exactly how good a regular massage is for their overall health. How about if they knew massage could improve performance, aid recovery, prevent and eliminate injuries, reduce stress and even enhance metabolism and circulation! With so many alternative health treatments available it's little wonder people get confused about where to go when they're not feeling the best. But, while new health therapies continue to emerge, think about this.the Chinese began using massage to heal the human body as long ago as 5,000BC and it's still being used today. Now there has to be something to be said for that.

What is a Remedial Massage???

Most people are a bit confused when it comes to what exactly falls under the category of a Remedial Massage. There is now doubt that a remedial massage is perfect for any athlete, weekend warrior or anyone else how has muscular pain, but why is that? What is it about a massage that is so dame good for us? The first thing we need to realize is what exactly a massage aims to do. A good massage will aim to treat conditions such as localized soreness, tightness, most types of muscular pain as well as new or old muscular injuries, by reducing the amount of waste product within the muscle. This is done through stretching the muscular fibers individually and stripping the waste product out of them manually. This process breaks up old structural/scare tissue patterns and to allow the free flow of nutrients and oxygen to the soft tissues. A remedial massage is a firm usually deep treatment which aims to affect all muscle layers, ligaments, tendons as well as connective tissue.

A muscle injury can be generated by strenuous OR repetitive physical activity. Which means that it doesn't always have to be one great event or action that throws everything out. It can be as easy as sitting at the same desk and in the same posture day in and day out that can cause the muscle soreness. A repetitive strain is usually a type of postural deviation that can come on as a dull ache and then can progress into something a bit more severe.

Although this type of treatment is know to be a bit uncomfortable, we realize that not everyone is training to be an elite athlete and so the pressure and techniques used will vary to insure you individual comfort. It will leave you feeling fantastic and totally ready to take on the world! Short term pain for long term gain!
