Restore, relax, and realign your body with remedial massage
Remedial massage adopts a diverse range of hands-on techniques that are used to identify and alleviate strain and tension within muscles, tendons and other soft tissues. This form of massage therapy actively promotes and speeds up the body’s natural healing processes. Remedial massage therapy improves circulation, increases blood flow and facilitates the removal of metabolic waste products from muscles.
Remedial massage techniques help to relax the nervous system which reduces pain and discomfort while promoting muscle relaxation, tone and joint flexibility.
We offer the following massage techniques:
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is firm and targeted, in particular deep tissue release and trigger point therapy to improve injury and pain. Remedial massage therapy targets damaged and knotted muscles and is great for various injuries and recovery.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone therapy consists of using smooth, heated basalt stones which are glided along your body allowing for deep pressure and penetrating heat. Hot stone massage is great for improving circulation, tension and inflammation in the body.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage consists of smooth and longer kneading strokes combined with tapping strokes and movement of the joints, in order to relax soft tissue and muscle tension. Swedish massage is great for reducing tension in the body and relaxation.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic drainage massage involves stimulating the lymph nodes and helps the flow of lymph fluid for people suffering from Lymphoedema. Lymphatic drainage is great for swollen upper and lower limbs.
What can I expect during a massage therapy session?
At the time of your initial remedial massage appointment, your massage therapist will discuss your main areas of concern, general health and reasons for attending massage therapy. The massage therapist will then focus the treatment to achieve a meaningful result.
You will also be required to complete a health screening questionnaire which will assist the remedial massage therapist in providing the best care possible.
Our remedial massage therapy can help you with:
