Remedial massage is a therapeutic massage technique that is focused on addressing specific muscular or soft tissue issues. It is typically used to alleviate pain and improve mobility and function in the body.

During a remedial massage session, the therapist will use a variety of techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release to target specific areas of tension or injury. The aim is to break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow to the affected area, which in turn helps to release tight muscles.

Massage helps to release muscles by increasing blood flow to the area, which helps to bring fresh oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, and by reducing inflammation and tension in the tissues. When the muscles are tense or injured, they can become restricted, causing pain and limiting range of motion. By using remedial massage techniques to release these restrictions, the therapist can help to restore the natural movement and function of the muscles.

Remedial massage can be used for a range of conditions including sports injuries, chronic pain, postural imbalances, and stress-related tension. It is particularly useful for those who suffer from repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or tennis elbow, as well as for those who have sustained injuries from accidents or falls. Remedial massage can also be beneficial for people who have undergone surgery or have chronic health conditions such as arthritis, as it can help to alleviate pain and improve mobility.
