Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is a complementary therapy that focuses on treating damaged, knotted, tense or immobile muscles. It is an effective treatment option for a variety of conditions that affect the muscles, tendons and bones and can also help alleviate other health problems.
Remedial massage is a therapeutic approach that aims to identify and fix damaged areas of the body, thereby accelerating the body’s natural healing ability. The intensity of the massage pressure can vary based on the problem, ranging from strong and deep to gentle and shallow.
Remedial massage aims to locate the original source of pain and address both the cause of the problem and its symptoms, which may radiate to other parts of the body due to muscle issues.
