Remedial
Why Remedial?
When your accumulated tension and discomfort becomes more serious, Remedial Message is something you would consider. Remedial Massage incorporates the Deep Tissue techniques while adding stretching and/or mobilisation movements and specific techniques for each case. It helps in cases where the pain is very unpleasant, for example: sciatica, plantar fasciitis, shoulder impingement, headaches, TMJ and postural.
If a Remedial Massage is needed, it is usually recommended to have one or two follow-up sessions to help release the affected area. This is common for people who have held long term desk jobs – they have been holding this desk posture for years without helping the body release itself via exercises, stretching or simple “mini-breaks” at work.
For our Remedial Massages we treat the stiff or sore area after a thorough warm up while feeling the muscles around the area to see if there is any connection. It is very rare that only one muscle is tight – sometimes it’s the muscles next to each other and sometimes it could be muscles on the opposite side of the body.
Massage therapy and Remedial in particular is a temporary solution for the tightness. After a massage you may feel like you are floating or lighter or still half asleep, this is the right feeling but it is important to continue to make little adjustments in your daily habits, to help maintain that feeling of release and to stay healthy. Massage therapy is about discovering tight muscles to help release them but if you go back to the same posture and same habit, that stiffness will unfortunately return.
🙏 Don’t forget to respect your body!
