Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is a therapeutic approach to massage therapy that aims to address specific musculoskeletal issues and alleviate pain or discomfort in the body. It involves the assessment and treatment of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues to promote healing, restore function, and improve overall well-being. Remedial massage therapists utilise a range of techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, stretching and mobilisation to target areas of tension, imbalance or dysfunction.

Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a type of therapeutic massage that focuses on applying firm pressure and slow strokes to target deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. It aims to alleviate chronic tension, muscle tightness, and adhesions (knots) by breaking up scar tissue and releasing muscle tension.
A deep tissue massage provides comprehensive coverage to the entire body while specifically targeting areas of concern such as neck pain, shoulder pain, and lower back pain. This can be beneficial for individuals with chronic pain, muscle injuries, postural problems, and limited mobility. Deep tissue massage can promote relaxation and improve overall well-being, although it may be more intense than other forms of massage therapy.
Cupping Therapy
Discover the benefits of cupping massage, an alternative remedial therapy method that utilizes gentle suction cups strategically placed along muscular tissue to alleviate inflammation and encourage pain relief. This technique not only enhances the body's energy flow but also promotes relaxation and healing by boosting blood circulation.
Your therapist will carefully position the cups on specific areas of your body, often targeting areas of muscle tension or discomfort. Using a specialized hand pump, they will create a gentle vacuum, drawing your skin and underlying tissue upward into the cup. This suction effect increases blood flow to the area, loosening tight muscles and promoting a sense of relaxation.
Additionally, cupping therapy is believed to stimulate the body's natural healing processes, potentially aiding in the release of trapped toxins from the tissues. Experience the soothing benefits of cupping massage and embark on a journey to improved well-being.
SPorts Massage
Sports massage is a specialised form of massage therapy designed to enhance athletic performance, prevent injuries and aid in the recovery process for athletes. It involves techniques such as deep tissue massage, stretching and joint mobilisation to target specific muscles and areas of tension commonly affected by athletic activity. Sports massage can help improve flexibility, reduce muscle soreness, promote faster recovery from workouts or competitions and prevent injuries by addressing imbalances and improving biomechanical efficiency. It is often used by athletes of all levels, from recreational to professional, as part of their training regimen.

Remedial Massage FAQ
How will I feel after a remedial massage?
After a remedial massage, you might feel wonderfully relaxed, refreshed, and free from muscle tension. You could also notice that you're more flexible. It's normal to feel a bit sore afterward, like you do after a good workout. Plus, you might experience a boost in energy and mood from releasing tension. Overall, you can expect to feel a combination of relaxation, relief, and possibly some soreness after a remedial massage, with the benefits continuing to unfold as your body continues to respond to the treatment in the days following the session.
Are deep tissue massage and remedial massage alike?
Deep tissue massage and remedial massage share similarities as they both employ targeted therapeutic methods to alleviate specific musculoskeletal issues and ease tension. However, remedial massage tends to be more extensive, often encompassing an evaluation of the client’s condition and employing various techniques, including deep tissue, to address the underlying causes of musculoskeletal issues. This makes remedial massage a more comprehensive and clinical approach to massage therapy.
Does remedial massage cause discomfort?
This type of massage is frequently favoured by individuals dealing with chronic pain and tension. As a result, the muscles targeted by your therapist may feel resistant and stiff.Any discomfort you might experience during the massage is due to the process of mobilising these muscles, breaking down scar tissue, and working out knots. This discomfort arises as tight muscles are loosened, and the body undergoes therapeutic adjustments.
What should I anticipate during a remedial massage?
During your home remedial massage, it's essential to communicate any limitations or preferences to your therapist. Expect the pressure to be more intense than in other types of massages.If you're experiencing tightness, stiffness, or pain in your muscles, anticipate your massage therapist to pinpoint and address these areas. While this might be uncomfortable at times and your muscles may feel challenged, they'll likely feel relieved and revitalised afterward.
Who should avoid getting a remedial massage?
If you have any health conditions such as blood clots (thrombophlebitis or deep vein thrombosis), osteoporosis, cancer, or if you've recently had surgery, it's important to consult your doctor before considering any type of massage therapy. Pregnant women should also consult their doctor regarding massage during pregnancy.
