Remedial massage is the assessment and treatment of soft tissue dysfunction that causes pain and restricts movement. It focuses on the deeper layer of muscle tissue. Remedial massage therapy aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deeper pressure on the contracted areas by either following or crossing over the muscles fibres, fascia and tendons.
Remedial Massage Technique
This type of massage uses several specialised techniques to locate and repair damage and to support and speed up the body’s own repair mechanisms. The massage is applied directly to the skin usually using oil, which ensures that the muscles associated with the disorder and mobilisation of the joint are deeply penetrated. Passive stretching moves may also be used.
