Remedial massage is a therapeutic approach to massage that aims to address specific muscular issues, pain, and imbalances in the body. It involves the assessment and treatment of soft tissue structures such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and promote overall well-being.
The main benefits of how remedial massage can help you:
Pain Relief: Reduction of pain caused by various conditions such as muscle tension, strains, sprains, and chronic pain disorders. The therapist applies targeted pressure to specific areas to release tension, improve blood circulation, and stimulate the body’s natural pain-relief mechanisms.
Muscle Tension Release: If you have tight muscles, ‘knots’, or trigger points, remedial massage(RM) can help release these tension points and restore muscle flexibility. The therapist may use techniques like deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release to address these issues.
Improved Blood Circulation: Promotion of blood flow, which enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscles and tissues. Improved circulation can aid in the healing process and reduce muscle soreness.
Injury Rehabilitation: If you’ve experienced an injury, RM can be a valuable part of your rehabilitation plan. The therapist will work on the affected area to reduce scar tissue formation, increase flexibility, and improve overall function.
Postural Correction: Poor posture can lead to muscle imbalances and discomfort. RM can help realign muscles and promote better posture by releasing tension in specific areas and encouraging proper muscle engagement.
The added benefits of how remedial massage can help you:
Stress Reduction: Massage, in general, has a calming effect on the nervous system. Remedial massage is no exception. The relaxation response triggered by massage can help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote a sense of well-being.
Increased Range of Motion: If you’re struggling with restricted movement due to muscular tightness, RM can help increase your range of motion. By releasing tension and improving muscle flexibility, you’ll be able to move more freely.
Preventive Maintenance: Regular remedial massage sessions can help prevent the recurrence of muscle imbalances and tension, reducing the risk of future injuries.
Enhanced Athletic Performance: Athletes often benefit from RM as it can help with muscle recovery, flexibility, and overall performance optimization.
Holistic Wellness: Remedial massage considers the interconnectedness of muscles and the body as a whole. By addressing specific issues, it can contribute to your overall physical and mental well-being.
