Examples of conditions that benefit from remedial massage include sciatic pain, frozen shoulder, golfer’s/ tennis elbow, lower back pain, headaches, tightness in mid-back or neck, movement restriction, ligament/ tendon damage or muscle tears. If left unchecked, our body responds to the dysfunction by setting us up with compensatory mechanisms and lazy movement patterns which culminate in a domino effect that typically makes the original condition worse. By using remedial massage techniques such as focused trigger point therapy, myofascial release, active and passive
stretching, and deep tissue massage, the therapist is able to encourage the release of muscle tightness, improve blood flow and tissue healing for reduced scar tissue and correct muscle function.
Depending on the type of injury/ condition, and how long the problem has been going on for, a few treatments within close succession (i.e. weekly or fortnightly) may be required. The amount of massages required vary from person to person. Sometimes there is a bit of home-work for you to do in-between treatments – for example focused stretches or exercises to allow for greater improvements.

- Reduced pain
