To calm, relax nerves and relieve the body of tension and stress. Remedial massage is a holistic treatment and one of the most effective ways to prevent and treat muscle injuries, pain and soreness. Remedial massage is based on the fact that soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia) respond to touch. Muscles not only move our joints, they stabilise them, and they provide protection for the internal organs. A remedial massage therapist uses skilled manipulation combined with in-depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology to bring about pain relief, as well as correcting and normalising the body’s muscles and soft tissues. Remedial massage has both short and long-term effects, so it is also extremely useful for relaxation and general well being.
