 Remedial Massage is the application of a range of therapeutic techniques, used to treat muscles that are knotted, tense,

stiff or damaged. The remedial therapist will assess and identify which areas of the body require treatment, and use a range

of massage-based techniques to optimize muscle function such as pain or tightness in an area of your body, aching or sore muscles, discomfort or pain from poor posture, lower back pain, headaches, or joint pain, poor flexibility or an injury that

is not improving with time.

REMEDIAL TECHNIQUES:

Deep tissue release/Trigger point therapy/Myofascial release/Joint mobilization/Cupping/Gau Sha release.

Sports massage is a specialised form of massage therapy tailored to meet the unique needs of athletes and physically active individuals.

It combines elements of Swedish massage, deep tissue techniques, and stretching to target specific muscle groups and promote overall well-being.

 Oriental massage is an alternative treatment method that applies pressure, movement, and occasionally acupuncture on specific points across the body. Its focus lies in enhancing overall health and preventing diseases by stimulating the flow of

A trigger point is a specific area of muscle tissue that becomes tight and sensitive, often leading to pain and discomfort that can spread to other parts of the body. These points are frequently caused by injury, overuse, or chronic stress on the muscle. In remedial massage, skilled therapists locate and treat trigger points to release tension and restore proper muscle function, providing relief and improving overall mobility. By incorporating trigger point therapy into your session, you can address deep-seated muscular issues and achieve a higher level of wellness.
