What Does Remedial Massage Do?

The Benefits of Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is a form of massage that is designed to address specific injuries and conditions. This type of massage is typically performed by a therapist who has been trained in the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.

In our clinic in Canberra, booking and having a remedial massage can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including:

• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Shoulder pain
• Knee pain
• Sports injuries
• Repetitive strain injuries
• Headaches
• Migraines

The benefits of remedial massage can be broken down into three main categories: physical, psychological, and physiological.

Physical Benefits

The physical benefits of remedial massage are perhaps the most obvious. This type of massage can help to reduce pain and inflammation, increase flexibility and range of motion, and improve posture.

Remedial massage can also help to speed up the healing process for injuries, and can be used to prevent future injuries from occurring.

Psychological Benefits

The psychological benefits of remedial massage are often overlooked, but are just as important as the physical benefits.

This type of massage can help to reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood, and promote feelings of relaxation and well-being.

Physiological Benefits

The physiological benefits of remedial massage are not as well known as the physical and psychological benefits, but they are just as important.

Remedial massage can help to improve circulation, boost the immune system, and promote the release of endorphins (the body's natural painkillers).

How it works

Remedial massage works by using a variety of techniques to manipulate the soft tissues of the body (such as the muscles, tendons, and ligaments). These techniques can include:

• Friction
• Effleurage
• Petrissage
• Tapotement

The therapist will use their hands to apply pressure to the affected areas, using a combination of these techniques.

Remedial massage is a highly effective form of treatment for a wide range of conditions. It can help to reduce pain and inflammation, increase flexibility and range of motion, and improve posture.

Additionally, it can also help to reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood, and promote feelings of relaxation and well-being.

Remedial massage is a specific session tailored to your pain issues. I use a blend of massage therapy and manual therapy techniques, including: Deep Tissue Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Active Isolated Stretching, Cupping Therapy and Dermo-Neuro-Modulating.

I identify your pain, work the root cause and lastly stretch the affected area. Remedial massage therapy brings about physiological change that will reduce or eliminate pain, return optimal range of motion and promote overall well being.

If you are in pain, suffering from an injury, or have postural issues you know need addressing then a remedial massage is the best choice. Generally in remedial massage your therapist will use deeper and stronger pressure than in a relaxation massage.

If you prefer lighter pressure then try a relaxation massage instead or if you need the deeper work but find remedial massage too painful then try bodywork instead, which is gentle but also works deeply.
