Remedial massage aims to remedy or to make better.

​

You may have low back pain from sports, your physical job, or sitting at a desk, protracted shoulder blades, problems with breathing mechanics, sciatica, or be recovering from a muscle, tendon or ligament injury.

​

A full postural assessment and movement tests will be performed in order to identify short muscles, and areas of tension or dysfunction.

​

Remedial massage tunes into the tissue so work is targeted at the right depth.  The slow nature means the body can get used to the pressure and a deeper treatment can be given without triggering a nervous system stress response.

 

Massage strokes such as effleurage, petrissage, and friction are used to warm and relax, with advanced techniques such as joint mobilisations, neuro-muscular technique (NMT), positional release, soft tissue release (STR), and muscle energy technique (MET) to remove tender and trigger points and lengthen short muscles.
