Remedial massage aims to identify your ‘problem’ areas and improve the function of these regions. Your remedial massage therapist will ask you about your condition, or you may have specific instructions from one of our physiotherapists. Massage techniques may include myofascial release, active-fascial release, and trigger point therapy. Tight muscles may not always be remedied by massage. If fact, the majority of spinal tightness and pain does not originate from muscle. We recommend that persisting muscle tightness and/or pain, be reviewed by one of our physiotherapists.
Relaxation Massage
Relaxation massage is ideal for clients who are experiencing high levels of stress. Treating certain areas such as the neck, shoulders, head, and face (optional) can really help to ‘unwind’ tense patients. Evidence shows that relaxation massage is also beneficial for patients who experience chronic (long-lasting) pain. While we suggest assessment by one of our university qualified physiotherapists for persisting aches and pains, relaxation massage may be a useful adjunct treatment.
