Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is the combination of a range of massage techniques with the intention to release tight muscles  and ligaments of the body. Tight muscles can impinge on nerves causing pain, muscle weakness, and send noxious signals to the areas the nerve supplies.  Tight muscles can restrict the flow of lymph, impeding the removal of toxins and waste products from the area. Bone is slave to muscle, that is,  tight muscles can pull on their attachment to the bone, over time this can pull the bone out of its  natural alignment  causing  pain and may create further problems such as osteophytes,  commonly known as spurs. Osteophytes often press on nerves causing constant pain.

 

 

 

Remedial massage techniques include Deep Tissue , Trigger Point, Myofascial Release and Lymphatic Drainage.

If your work or lifestyle is causing tight muscles, consider regular remedial massage to reduce  the risk of permanent damage. Thus potentially reducing the need for surgery or constant pain management medication in the future.
