WHAT IS REMEDIAL MASSAGE?
Remedial massage is the systematic assessment and treatment of the soft tissues of the body (muscles, ligaments, tendons, connective tissues) to assist in rehabilitation, pain and injury management.
During a treatment a range of techniques designed to stimulate healing will be used. These work to treat the cause of the issue, therefore healing the problem not just the tension arising from it.
Each treatment is tailored to the individual but often includes acupressure techniques, stretching, and deep friction work as well as general massage techniques.
WHAT CAN REMEDIAL MASSAGE HELP WITH?
Recurrent headaches
Muscle tension issues - for example, pain in shoulders at work
Whiplash
Pre-operative treatment to get the muscles in peak condition to speed up recovery afterward
Post-operative treatment to breakdown scar tissue and improve circulation to speed up recovery

Postural/alignment issues

WHEN SHOULD I GET A REMEDIAL MASSAGE?
With remedial massage It's important to seek treatment at the right time. Too early and you risk causing further damage to the area, too late and the problem will be harder to relieve.
My recommendation is that you should have treatment as soon as you feel you can have the affected area manipulated without severe pain. Please feel free to contact me for a discussion if you are unsure as to whether it's the right time.
However, if you have an existing problem this can still be treated very effectively so there is no such thing as too late when it comes to remedial massage.
