Remedial massage is a confusing term because it is not a particular massage technique.
Remedial massage therapy is massage that is delivered to treat a problem or 'remediate' something.
The training for remedial massage involves learning a wide variety of techniques. That training includes when it is best to use each particular type of massage.
The different massage techniques allow your remedial massage therapists to tailor a specific treatment to suit the needs of the client, based on their current immediate, and long term goals.
A common misconception is that remedial massage is painful.
While some techniques can produce some discomfort, a remedial massage therapist will always work with the patient to establish their tolerance in order to help release tight soft tissues, without overwhelming the muscles.
This is another reason that clear communication is vital with your massage therapist.
Even firm massage can have relaxing effect even though some people may experience a momentary pain or discomfort with harder pressure.
In other words, even deep tissue massage or sports massage can be quite relaxing depending on the recipient.
From gentle pressure to firm pressure, passive stretches and muscle activation, traction/distraction techniques, good Remedial Massage therapists have a range of tools at their disposal.
Massage can be a lovely “treat” and a way to spoil yourself or someone else. That’s just the beginning!
There are many benefits to massage therapy and it can be a valuable addition into a regular health, wellbeing or training program for everyone.
