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!
