Creating favourable conditions for the body to return to optimal health.

What is Remedial Massage?

Remedial Massage involves the assessment and treatment of muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue of the body in order to assist with pain relief, injury management and rehabilitation. It is performed to create favourable conditions for the body to return to optimal health after injury by promoting increase of blood flow and lymph; particularly to the injured areas. Remedial Massage is also designed to restore normal muscle and soft tissue tension, tone and length which in turn promotes the return of normal joint position and movement and overall optimal function.  

Our approach to Remedial Massage

Our approach to Remedial Massage involves a thorough assessment of your condition which includes a detailed history and assessment of the tone and flexibility of the soft tissues of not only your injured area but other regions of the body which may be causing or contributing to your symptoms. This allows our experienced remedial massage therapists to develop a specific treatment plan which includes the most effective treatment techniques to provide you with rapid relief of your symptoms and address the cause of your problem. This approach can assist you to achieve an optimal recovery of your function and a longer term solution to your problem.
