Remedial
Massage
What
is it?
Remedial massage is treatment for the relief of pain. It helps many
muscular conditions, both chronic, (such as long standing arthritis)
and acute (such as sudden back strain). Remedial massage works thoroughly
through muscles and associated soft tissue to aid healing after
injury, relax muscle fibres which have been strained and are in
spasm, or release specific areas of tension which are causing pain.
Painful joints are eased by working on the surrounding muscles which
feed and support the joint.
Who
has remedial massage?
Anyone of any age who has pain or stiffness, an injury, is recovering
from surgery, or is suffering from the effects of stress can benefit
from massage. People with serious medical conditions benefit from
the deep relaxation massage can bring. It is useful for stress related
conditions and those where relaxation is essential for recovery.
It is a safe, relaxing therapy .

pain, plus many others.
