So you’ve heard of Remedial massage, but what exactly is it? And how does it differ from other types of massage?
Unlike deep tissue, Swedish and relax massage, remedial is generally a targeted massage to relieve pain by encouraging the body to heal its self, through increasing blood flow, joint mobility and relieving tissue damage. This being achieved through a wide range of techniques such as; deep tissue, trigger point therapy, myofacial release, stretching therapy, joint mobility, lymphatic drainage and temperature therapy.
The most common misconception is that Remedial massage is only effective through pain and hard pressure. However in truth, pressure will vary for each person depending on injury, tolarence and stage in the healing cycle. This way we can get the most effective and positive result possible.
Remedial Massage can only be provided by a certified therapist, so be sure to check your therapist has a Provider number, if they don’t then they are not a certified practitioner!
