Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is more than just a firm massage!! The therapist targets specific points of pain and tightness, and uses effective techniques to eliviate the symptoms. Stiff necks and muscle tension in the back, shoulders and legs, tennis elbow or golfer's swing disorders are treated with remedial massage techniques. Tendonitis, poor blood flow, headaches and strains also can effectively be treated with remedial massage.

Benefits of Remedial Massage

People benefit immediately from deep-tissue massage when target points are worked with the long, deep circular strokes of the massage therapist's hands, or forearms, allowing them to continue with their sport or maybe the gardening etc. Remedial massage also is beneficial to people recovering from injuries and strains as part of the rehabilitative process. Pain and tension can be alleviated and soft tissue manipulated to speed up recovery and decrease discomfort.
