Remedial Massage Therapy
What is Remedial Massage Therapy?
When muscles and tendons become damaged or impaired, knotted and tense or immobile, Remedial Massage provides a healing treatment that can be gentle or strong, deep or shallow.
Remedial massage treats the body holistically, tracing the discomfort as far as possible back to the original cause, healing both the cause as well as the symptoms.
“The aim of remedial massage is to find and treat the cause of the disorder, not only the symptoms”
Benefits of Remedial Massage
- stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed;
- the calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort;
- improved health of the cells;
- repairing of tissues;
- easing of stiffness and tension;
- and the toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility
Muscular and skeletal dysfunctions often addressed with Remedial Massage include Fibrositis, Spondylitis, Arthritis, frozen shoulder, muscular cramps, Whiplash, muscular atrophy, sports and dancing injuries. Although a single massage will be enjoyable and beneficial, the effects of massage are cumulative and a course of masage treatments in conjunction with stretching, strengthening exercises, and breaking bad habits (prolonged sitting and a desk, lifting incorrectly etc) will bring the most benefits.
Massage and Sport
Massage plays a part in every form of sport or exercise. It can increase endurance, control fatigue and help people feel better when used as part of a regular health program.
Massage can also speed muscle recovery rates as it eliminates irritation from waste. By helping reduce fatigue and aid recovery, massage enables more productive training with longer, more effective workouts. The ultimate spin-offs are better performance with fewer injuries.
Massage and Injuries
Massage also helps recovery from soft tissue injuries such as sprains and strains. Everybody experiences some form of stress through work, family, the environment and society. Mental tensions, frustrations and insecurity cause the most damage. Hormones released by stress actually shrink the vessels, inhibiting circulation.
A stressed mind and body means the heart works harder. Breathing becomes rapid and shallow and digestion slows. Nearly every body process is degraded. Studies show stress can cause migraines, hypertension (high blood pressure), depression, some peptic ulcers, etc. In fact, researchers have estimated 80% of disease is stress related. Soothing and relaxing massage therapy can counteract the effects of stress.
