Remedial Clinical Massage is a therapeutic treatment designed to address specific musculoskeletal issues, chronic pain, and injuries. It goes beyond relaxation, using advanced techniques to identify and treat the underlying causes of discomfort.
This type of massage focuses on restoring movement, relieving tension, and promoting healing by working on muscles, tendons, and connective tissues. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as:
- Muscle tightness and tension
- Sports injuries and rehabilitation
- Chronic pain (neck, shoulders, back)
- Postural imbalances
- Headaches and migraines
A skilled therapist tailors each session to your needs, using techniques like deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or looking to improve mobility and overall well-being, remedial clinical massage can help restore balance to your body.
Unlike a general relaxation massage, remedial massage is focused on specific problem areas, addressing pain, tension, and dysfunction. It is more structured and tailored to the individual’s condition, often incorporating assessment and treatment techniques.
Some techniques may cause mild discomfort, especially when working on tight or injured muscles. However, the therapist will always work within your comfort level and adjust pressure as needed. Some soreness after treatment is normal, similar to post-exercise soreness.
