Remedial massage is a deep tissue style massage, therapeutic in nature .It is designed to heal specific health issues, muscle problems and injuries.
Massage therapists believe that everything in your body is connected and related. If one part is injured it will in turn affect the rest of your body
If you have an injured knee you may then favour the other leg which will throw out the muscles in the hip and lead to your back aching.
The tightening of these muscles may then cause an imbalance affecting your neck muscles which may then give you a headache.
So if you go to see a remedial therapist and you complain of persistent headaches, the main cause of this might be a knee injury!
Before your treatment the therapist will consult with you. Sometimes this will include stretches or tests to see your range of movement. It may include looking at your posture or palpitating the muscles to see how they move. They will talk to you generally about how your body feels and moves.
Our remedial therapists will not only diagnose what is causing the problem but will treat it with various remedial techniques.
Our remedial massage therapist will then use a variety of techniques to soften, stretch and manipulate your muscles so that they will start to work as it should again. These techniques include trigger point therapy.
Trigger points are small, highly contracted areas of the muscle and the therapist will manipulate these regions to release them.
Trigger points are often a large source of pain, and releasing them can cause relief from tension and hurt. Sometimes trigger points cause referred pain.
So a trigger point maybe located in your shoulder but the pain maybe referred by the muscle to another region in your back. Remedial massage therapists are trained to diagnose referred pain and also treat the underlying cause.
This style of massage also uses a wide range of other techniques like deep tissue friction that warms and releases the muscle. They also use relaxation massage strokes that soothe the muscles after the deep tissue work and stretching.
We may get you to do follow up exercises and stretches at home to continue the work. Our therapists are qualified to deal with issues such as arthritis, tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, muscular injuries from sport. We also help neck and back pain, headaches and whiplash.

“My shoulders were sore from back packing and staying in really uncomfortable hostel beds ..
I was 17, doing the Oz overseas trek and my body was complaining.
I decided to wander around Covent Garden and watch the buskers when I saw a small place offering remedial massage.
Never having had a massage before, let alone a deep tissue one, I didn’t know what I was letting myself in for.
But one hour later I was converted, an instant massage addict, and a back that was a lot happier.
Since then I have had remedial massages in many countries and all sorts of styles Tui Na, Balinese, you name it and I’ve probably had it.
I love the deep tissue work and the release of the muscles and that feeling when I walk out of oh so this is how my body is supposed to feel, I can turn my neck!” Ali
Stiff shoulder? Seized up neck? Sore back? Relaxation massage can be a great style of massage if you are wanting to relax and de-stress, but to fix muscular problems you probably need a remedial massage.
