Remedial Massage Therapies
Remedial Massage seeks to remedy and bring about change in a muscle.
By way of muscle and postural assessment Remedial Massage treats the dysfunction causing the pain or discomfort and aims to improve range of movement and flexibility. Remedial Massage will introduce you to a range of treatments which may remedy painful conditions including soft tissue injuries.
Soft tissue injuries, while widely diagnosed as strains, sprains, or inflammation, receive minimal attention in the education of most physicians. Soft tissue injury falls between the cracks of the medical specialists. Unfortunately, for the client, medical treatment may mask pain while leaving soft tissue restrictions which can continue to cause dysfunction, if not pain. Too often the medical community falls into the trap of treating the pain and symptoms not treating the cause.
When both pain and dysfunction are treated simultaneously, the recurrence of problems is often reduced.
