Remedial Massage therapy is a healing treatment to relieve tense, tight or damaged muscles. The therapy can be gentle or strong, deep or shallow depending on the patient’s specific needs.  Remedial massage focuses on treating injuries, muscular aches and pains and postural imbalances.

These include muscular and skeletal dysfunctions;  muscle tightness and pain, arthritis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, whiplash, neck and back pain, scoliosis, headaches and other sports injuries that have soft tissue involvement.

Remedial massage uses a combination of hand on techniques used to locate, stimulate and repair damage to muscles and tendons. By working on the soft tissues surrounding joints, remedial massage has been found to improve the function of tight, irritated and even degenerative joints.
