Remedial Massage
What is Remedial Massage?
Remedial Massage uses targeted, hands-on techniques to address tension, tightness, and discomfort in muscles, tendons, and connective tissues. It begins with a brief assessment to understand what you’re feeling, what may be contributing, and how your body is moving.
Your therapist will then work through the affected area and any surrounding regions that may be compensating — because when one part of the body is irritated, neighbouring areas often adapt or tighten.
This broader approach is why many people choose Remedial Massage when they want hands-on treatment that helps their whole body move and feel better.
Who is Remedial Massage ideal for?
