A remedial massage is a therapeutic form of massage. It finds injuries and strains in the muscles, tendons, and bones, and treats these problems through massage and stretching techniques.

This form of therapy seeks to lessen or eliminate the pain caused by these problems and treat their root cause. Remedial massage also compliments other therapies such as chiropractic practices.

Does remedial massage hurt? Sometimes. But not always. Our remedial massage therapist will always check in with you to make sure you’re comfortable and not experiencing too much pain.

Our remedial massage clinic treats patients with different problems. Some patients visit us because of a sports injury, others come to us because they feel general stiffness as a result of everyday living. Other patients suffer from chronic illnesses such as arthritis or fibromyalgia and find regular remedial massage treatment beneficial.

We treat:

• Musculoskeletal disorders

• Sports injuries

• Arthritis (including ankylosing spondylitis)/bursitis

• Injuries resulting from a car accident

• Frozen shoulder

• Fibromyalgia

• Cramps

• Carpal tunnel

• Sciatica

• Stiff neck/back pain

• Headaches

Much like chiropractic, there are benefits of remedial massage that go far beyond the obvious problems. By releasing tension and increasing blood flow, patients often leave our remedial massage feeling better overall. Some of the other benefits of remedial massage are:

• Decreases pain and alleviates chronic pain conditions

• Repairs knotted, tense and damaged muscles and tissue

• Provides pain relief and helps restore mobility and flexibility

• Prevents and manages sports and soft tissue injuries

• Stimulates blood flow and oxygen

• Releases tension, stiffness and reduces swelling

• Increase mobility in joints

• Helps to correct position of the bone 

• Speeds up recovery time for athletes or people who train rigorously

• Flushes chemicals out the body that causes muscles to tighten

• Helps to heal scar tissue post-surgery
