Description
Remedial Massage is an outcome-based treatment designed to treat specific muscle dysfunction, postural imbalances, and chronic pain. Unlike a standard massage that treats the whole body equally, a Remedial session begins with an assessment to identify the root cause of your pain—whether it’s a shortened muscle, a twisted pelvis, or scar tissue from an old…
Benefits
Targets the Root Cause
We don't just rub where it hurts; we find why it hurts (e.g., treating the hip to fix knee pain).
Increases Joint Mobility
Releases tight muscles that are "locking" joints in place, restoring your full range of motion.
Deactivates Trigger Points
Releases hypersensitive spots in the muscle that refer pain to other parts of the body (referral patterns).
Customized Treatment Plan
You leave with a clear plan and often simple exercises to prevent the issue from returning.
A Remedial session is interactive. We may ask you to perform simple movements so we can assess your range of motion before we start. During the treatment, we might ask you to resist pressure (active release) or breathe through specific deep work. It is a partnership between therapist and client to get your body back on track. While some techniques can be firm, the relief is often immediate.
Clinical & Safety
Contraindications
Acute Injuries
We cannot treat fresh muscle tears or sprains (first 48-72 hours). Please wait until inflammation subsides.
Infectious Conditions
Fever, flu, or contagious skin infections.
Certain Medical Conditions
Please inform us of any history of cancer, blood clots, or severe osteoporosis.
Aftercare
Epsom Salt Bath
A warm bath with magnesium salts can help soothe any post-treatment soreness.
Gentle Stretching
Perform the specific stretches we showed you (if any) to maintain the new muscle length.
Listen to Your Body
If you feel tired, rest. Your body is doing a lot of repair work after the session.
FAQs
How is this different from Deep Tissue?
Deep Tissue is a technique (using deep pressure). Remedial Massage is a method of assessment and treatment. A Remedial session uses Deep Tissue techniques, but also includes testing, stretching, and specific targeting of injuries. It is more clinical and problem-solving focused.
Do I need to be injured to get this?
No! Many clients book Remedial Massage to correct posture (like “computer hunch”) or tightness before it becomes an injury. It is excellent for maintenance.
Will you give me exercises?
Yes, usually. Remedial massage works best when you participate in your recovery. We often suggest 1 or 2 simple stretches or strengthening exercises to help the results last longer.
