Remedial massage is a hands-on treatment to relief damaged, seized, knotted or tense muscles.
It aims to treat the painful area and, where necessary, to identify and treat the cause of the pain. In sciatica, for example, you may be aware of pain radiating down your leg but the problem traces up to the root of your sciatic nerve in your lower back. Massage would therefore focus on both your leg and your lower spine.
A remedial massage therapist applies pressure to your injured soft tissues in order to speed up your body’s own healing processes. Sometimes the pressure is firm and deep. At other times, it may be lighter and more gentle, depending on your needs.
| Prevent or treat sports injuries | Manage chronic pain | Relieve neck, shoulder or back pain |
| Support mental health | Manage aspects of chronic conditions such as arthritis, cancer, anxiety or diabetes | Improve energy levels |
Once your remedial massage therapist has asked about your symptoms and decided on a treatment approach, you’ll be asked to lie face-down on a massage table and given some towels to cover yourself with for privacy and warmth.
The massage therapist will then begin applying the right degree of pressure to the treatment area. The goal is to restore proper length, tone and tension to your muscles and tendons, which in turn helps to ensure your bones and joints are in the right position and well-supported by the surrounding soft tissues.
At Active Health Co, remedial massage can be a standalone treatment or part of your integrated treatment plan.
You might book in for a remedial massage at 10 am followed by chiropractic care at 11 am, for example.
Our remedial massage therapist, Derek, works closely with other members of our treatment team to ensure you receive coordinated care that meets your needs.
