REMEDIAL MASSAGE
What is Remedial Massage?
Remedial Massage is a technique which uses manual manipulation of soft tissues in the body. It encourages the flow of body fluids, breaks up adhesion and diminishes tension. It can also help those who through injury, illness or age are inactive. Massage could have both physiological and psychological advantages.
Massage, by itself and as an adjunct to other treatments, could also help relieving stress and other disorders such as depression.
The Health benefits of remedial massage
Remedial massage can stimulate the blood supply, make joints more mobile, and help to repair damaged tissues. The therapist will aim to balance the length, tone and tension of muscles and tendons, which restores the correct position of the bones, increases blood flow and helps heal injuries.
Easing and stabilising the muscles can improve problems such as headaches, abdominal pain, low back pain and sciatic pain.
Some health problems that are often treated with remedial massage include sporting and dance injuries, muscle cramps, whiplash, muscular atrophy, fibrositis, spondylitis, arthritis and frozen shoulder.
