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.
What are the Benefits of Remedial Massages?
This therapy offers both long term and short term
benefits. Some of these benefits are noted below:.
Short Term Benefits.
- The blood flow is increased throughout the whole body
and particularly at the injury area.
- Relieves stress which can delay the body's natural
healing process.
- Reduces pain and inflammation at the point of injury.
Long Term Benefits.
- Circulation is improved throughout the body.
- Elasticity is restored to the joints in the body.
- Stress is greatly reduced.
- The body is more capable to cope with future injuries.
Indeed remedial massages bring many short and long term
benefits to the patient. No wonder they are known as an exceptional way to heal
both body and mind.
