What is a Remedial Massage?

Deep Tissue Massage Spa Setup

Soothe your pain and discomfort with Perth’s best remedial massages!

You may have heard of deep tissue massage as the best kind of massage for restorative realignment of the whole body, but have you heard of remedial massage? Remedial massage is recommended if you have a specific ailment and is based upon a deep understanding of human anatomy. This kind of massage treats muscles that are damaged, knotted, tense, or immobile and the pressure applied can either be strong and deep or gentle and shallow, depending on the issue at hand. 

Your massage therapist will get to the bottom of what hurts and why, and then locates, treats, and relieves musculoskeletal ailments to speed up the body’s natural healing process. Trigger point therapy is often used during remedial massage as it works to release painful tension in muscles and fascia. When a trigger point is very sensitive it can cause pain without even being pressed on. This can be a major cause of muscular pain that most people suffer from. This method of stretching, re-aligning, releasing and stabilising muscles results in the stimulation of blood supply, increased joint mobility and overall tissue damage repair in the affected area. 

Remedial massage can be used to help those with: 

  • Neck, shoulder or back pain
  • Preventing injuries
  • Headaches
  • Sports or other injuries
  • Arthritis
  • Chronic pain 
  • Fatigue
  • Anxiety or depression
  • To treat the side effects of cancer, such as Lymphoedema 
  • To manage the side effects of diabetes 
  • To help with addiction rehabilitation.

What other issues is remedial massage good for?

Other health problems that are treated with remedial massage include sporting and dance injuries, muscle cramps, whiplash, fibromyalgia, muscular atrophy, fibrositis, spondylitis, and frozen shoulder.
