What is Remedial Massage

Remedial Massage - An Exceptional Way to Heal Body and Mind

Remedial massage therapists could be described as real masters of their craft. Having studied anatomy, physiology, massage techniques and a host of other specialities, these therapists know how to heal each patient in the most effective, personalized and successful way.

So what exactly is a remedial massage? Who can benefit from remedial massages? What are the benefits? Let's find out!

What Exactly is a Remedial Massage?

A therapeutic treatment that comes under the umbrella of holistic therapy, remedial massages manipulate the body's soft tissue using various techniques, lubricants and movements. It could be said that remedial massages work to heal from the inside out in that the process of healing starts at a cell level and works outwards to heal the body.

Typical remedial massage sessions tend to last between 30 - 45 minutes. The therapist will take time to feel for trigger points within the body. Once found trigger points can be treated easily and with excellent results for the patient.

Therapists are trained to find the source of the symptoms being experienced by the patient (often involving referred pain) and to treat the source area. Remedial massages work not only to treat the area and current problem, but to restore balance. This in turn minimises the possibility of the problem re-occurring again in the future.

Remedial massages are classified as 'deep massages'. The patient will find tenderness in treated areas therefore showing the muscles that are damaged and in need of healing therapy.

To gain full benefit from a remedial massage the patient must work closely with the therapist. The therapist relies on the patient's feedback and close communication to know what areas need further attention.

Who can Benefit From Remedial Massages?

Many people can benefit from remedial massages for a host of different problems. For example people who have suffered an injury or who suffer with a muscular skeletal disorder can often gain much relief and improvement from a remedial massage.

In addition many types of back pain and the discomfort that accompanies repetitive strain injury can also be treated by remedial massage.

Other conditions that can see excellent results include fibrositis, arthritis, muscle cramps, whiplash and frozen shoulder. In addition people who suffer from headaches, nervous exhaustion, sinus conditions and general circulation problems can also receive much benefit from remedial massages.
