Remedial massage is a targeted and effective form of hands-on therapy that works on parts of the body to ease pain, manage injury and assist in rehabilitation by working on muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and connective tissue.
Even though remedial massage is used extensively to treat and rehabilitate injury and reduce pain, as a non-invasive low-risk therapy, remedial massage is also successful in treating stress, anxiety and depression. Through relaxation, remedial massage can reduce tension and increase a sense of calm.

This sense of calm is likened to a meditative state – which lowers blood pressure, reduces stress and eases anxiety.

Before, after and throughout your session, you can ask questions and learn more about the therapy and why it’s suited to your needs. In some cases, these modalities can be used as part of an integrative approach. And because your needs are unique, a session can vary from 30 to 45, 60 and 90 minutes. For optimal results, you may need a few sessions over a few weeks. All to be discussed with your specialised therapist.
