What is Remedial Massage?

Remedial massage is a deep tissue treatment that aims to restore normal function to the muscle after injury. Damage to a muscle can lead to the formation of scar tissue. Inflammation can also occur leading to further problems. A build up of adhesions and fibrous tissue within the muscle leads to the ‘knots’ we can feel under our skin. Circulation and sensation to the area can also be affected.

Benefits of Remedial Massage

Remedial massage aims to address these problems by reintroducing flexibility to the tissues and surrounding areas, breaking down scar tissue that has already formed and improving blood supply to the area. In addition the nervous system is stimulated, or awakened, which can produce a relaxing effect on the tissues and reduce pain levels. The lymph system also benefits from enhanced function that in turn promotes good recovery.

Sports Injuries and Sports Massage

With more and more of us taking part in various forms of exercise it comes as no surprise that injuries are becoming more common. It is important to have a sensible training regime that should include massage as a matter of course. Whether you are running for fun, part of an athletics club and training in track and field events, or playing rugby or football on a regular basis, or taking part in any other form of physical activity, massage can help to prevent injury before it occurs, as well as dealing with problems after they happen. Muscular problems, frozen shoulder, sports injuries, whiplash and issues such as low back pain can also be addressed with sports and remedial massage.

Alongside warming up/down and stretching, sports massage can be used both for general relaxation and directed towards localised issues to aid recovery from injury
