What is Deep Tissue/Remedial Massage?

Remedial Massage is a very deep tissue form of massage treatment that involves stripping muscle groups enabling muscles to relax after being in a knotted, or stressed state, due to injury or emotional stress over a period of time. Treatments can vary in length depending on what the body needs and the severity of muscle damage.

Typically, remedial treatments are most effective for muscle injuries or joint problems, however using a combination of mobilisations and stretches remedial massage may also help with some forms of arthritis. Some other benefits of remedial massage include improved circulation, help in relieving headaches, and improving the clients quality of sleep!

It is common to feel a little soreness the day after treatment due to the release of toxins from muscles that have developed from the injured or stressed muscle group. However, soreness quickly eases, leaving your body in a superior state of relaxation.
