Remedial massage therapy is a specifically designed massage treatment that focuses on the injury points at hand. It is a complementary therapy designed to treat joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles that are damaged, knotted, tense or immobile. Problems with the muscles can trigger or radiate pain to other parts of the body. Remedial massage aims to trace the original reason for the pain, tackling both the cause of the problem and the symptoms to restore movement which might have been affected due to a chronic condition or a sudden injury.
Remedial massage utilises techniques such as deep tissue, trigger point and myofascial release. Health problems that are often treated with remedial massage include sporting and dance injuries, muscle cramps, whiplash, muscular atrophy, fibrositis, spondylitis, arthritis, frozen shoulder, joint restrictions and muscle aches. MarKay therapists will manipulate and re-adjust your unbalanced position and teach postural setting techniques to prevent reoccurrence.
