Remedial Massage Therapy is a therapeutical form of massage that is designed to treat both deep and superficial tissues. Its aim is to treat muscles, tendons and joints that are affected by a number of conditions or pathologies. Sometimes Remedial Massage Therapy is also referred to as "Medical Massage" and it can address a number of health problems.
Using a wide range of skilled techniques, the soft tissues of the body are manipulated to repair damages and immobility as well as to speed up the body's own healing processes. Depending on the presented condition, the applied pressure can either be strong and deep or gentle and shallow.
Especially in Remedial Massage Therapy we try to find out what triggers the pain or discomfort and how it radiates to other parts of the body. By aiming to trace the source of the pain, it is possible to tackle both the problem and the presented symptoms. In this way the well trained therapist can relax the tissue, reduce the pain and bring back the balance in the body's muscles and other soft tissues.
