The term “massage therapy,” is the general term relating to application of manual movements to move or stretch the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues. Massage therapists’ use this to provide relief and relaxation to their clients.
Remedial massage has a procedure of its own. It is not the application of the massage alone, but involves an assessment procedure prior to the treatment. The assessment focuses on the area of the body that needs treatment and what type of massage can be done, it also includes the development of a specific treatment plan for the best course of treatment for the client’s condition or injury.
What it can be used for:
* Trigger point therapy for fascia or skeletal pain
* Compression for promoting healthy circulation of blood flow and lymph
* Cross-fibre friction to increase healing
* Myofascial release that focuses on treating tightness and shortness in muscles.
This treatment is an all rounder, you don’t need a sport injury to come and see us - you could be an office worker that feels tightness and pain from sitting for too long.
