Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage Therapy is an advanced form of massage that uses specialised techniques to address muscular pain and dysfunction. It helps restore correct function to injured or inhibited soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments) thereby promoting pain relief and healing.
Remedial Massage has many applications from general structural maintenance to injury management and rehabilitation and is an ideal treatment option for a wide range of muscle, joint and soft tissue problems. Used on a regular basis, it helps prevent the onset of chronic dysfunction. It can be helpful in treating muscle tension caused by physical, postural or emotional stress, helping to return the body to a state of physical and structural balance.
Where necessary, a physical assessment is carried out prior to treatment which helps to ascertain what might be wrong and how best to treat. The approach is similar to that of Physiotherapy – assessment then treatment. Treatment consists of Massage along with specific techniques, as required, to treat any problem areas highlighted during the assessment. Where necessary, exercises and stretches are prescribed as part of the rehabilitation process.
Sports Massage
The purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues from physical activity. With the reduction of tension, injury is less likely to occur.
In the event of injury, Sport and Remedial Massage approaches can be used to rehabilitate.
It can also be used before a sporting event to prepare the body for performance.
