Remedial Massage

What is Remedial Massage?

Remedial massage is a specialised form of therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the assessment, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal dysfunction and soft tissue injuries. Unlike general relaxation massage, remedial massage is clinical in nature, designed to target specific areas of pain, imbalance, or restricted movement by addressing the underlying causes rather than just the symptoms.

Purpose and Benefits

  • Releasing chronic muscle tension and tightness caused by stress, overuse, or repetitive strain

  • Treating acute or chronic injuries from sports, work, or everyday activities

  • Correcting postural imbalances and compensatory movement patterns

  • Reducing inflammation and improving joint mobility

  • Enhancing circulation, which aids in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues and assists in waste removal

  • Supporting long-term health and preventing future injuries by maintaining flexibility, balance, and muscular symmetry

The primary goal of remedial massage is to promote the body’s natural healing process and restore optimal function to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. It is highly effective in:

Who It’s For

  • Sports injuries such as muscle strains or joint sprains

  • Occupational injuries, repetitive strain injuries (RSI), or poor ergonomic posture

  • Recovery from surgery or trauma involving soft tissue

  • General musculoskeletal imbalances that affect daily function or physical performance

  • Myofascial Release: To ease tension in the connective tissue and improve movement patterns.

  • Active and Passive Stretching: To lengthen muscles and increase joint mobility.

Based on this assessment, we apply a combination of evidence-based techniques, such as:
