A multidisciplinary approach to holistic health

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.

Remedial Massage Techniques Used

Pregnancy massage is available from the second trimester onwards. It can be performed with a belly pillow to allow for comfortable lying on the stomach or side lying.

Sports massage therapy applies specialised techniques to aid in the healing of knotted, tight, weak, or damaged muscles.

Swedish (relaxation) massage uses long, soothing strokes to ease your tension and leave you feeling completely serene. Allow yourself to fully unwind as your therapist applies gentle pressure to your muscles, melting away any stress or discomfort.

Scar tissue is less functional

As your body heals after an injury, scar tissue forms. Scar tissue is fibrotic and less mobile than pre-injury. Adhesions may form, sticking together layers under the skin.

How can scar therapy help?

Stimulate change to scar tissue on the skin surface and to adhesions or fibrosis in the underlying tissue.

Reduce common symptoms, such as pain and sensitivity.

Promote functional and cosmetic improvements after surgery or injury creates scar tissue.

Will my scar vanish?

No, we can’t make your scar tissue disappear. Results vary, and early treatment is recommended for best cosmetic improvements. It’s never too late and old scars can benefit as well.

Gentle treatment with great results

The RESTORE method has been developed by the UK’s leading scar therapy teacher and Harley Street scar specialist, Emma Holly. RESTORE scar therapy method is used within the NHS and leading private healthcare providers. A course of treatment is usually recommended, but a single session and self-care advice for you to follow at home can be helpful.
