REMEDIAL MASSAGE

Remedial massage is a treatment for people that requires an in-depth massage treatment of the whole body, not just one part of the body. It is a macro approach not a micro approach. Different techniques and methods are used during the massage treatment, not just the common imagery of the practitioner pushing into the body, otherwise commonly known as knots.

Clients generally state “can you please get the knots out?” and tend to think that the body needs to have a painful treatment to receive any benefit which is not true. The softer you touch the more you feel is a common statement heard in the alternative therapy sector. If the practitioner presses into the body too hard they're just using too much force

Remedial massage is a term that is often passed over by the word massage – it is a treatment with many different methods used by the practitioner according to the clients needs. The practitioner will ask questions to the client and from the questions determine and physically assess and then treat the client.

The remedial massage treatment is usually quite varied – using different methods of treatment, i.e. rolling the body from side to side (rolfing) or softly shearing the skin which is more a fascial therapy approach and engages the parasympathetic nervous system.
