Remedial Massage
Do you have shoulder pain, elbow, sciatic type pain or any pain in a specific area that is has not resolved? If so, then Remedial massage is the treatment for you! A remedial treatment is for people experiencing specific areas of pain and dysfunction as a result of injury, overuse, postural or structural issues.
Firstly, your therapist will perform a postural assessment, then several tests to explore the source of your pain. As a result, a treatment plan will be made to address the main causes of your pain. This plan will include the massage treatment in addition to stretches and strengthening exercises to help resolve the issue in the long term.
A number of techniques may be used throughout your treatment. These may include Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Active Release, and Postural Release Therapy. Additionally, stretching methods such as Muscle Energy Technique may also be used. Your therapist will always check in with you throughout the massage regarding level of pressure and comfort.
Some of the conditions that your therapist can assist in treating include:
- Headaches
- Shoulder, neck and back pain
- Carpal Tunnel
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Plantar Fasciitis
