Remedial massage focuses on the causes of musculoskeletal dysfunction and discomfort as well as providing pain relief. It is a holistic approach that uses several diagnostic techniques to locate and repair damage while also supporting and speeding up the body’s own repair mechanisms. Remedial massage is a deep massage done to create the conditions for the body’s return to optimal health.
In particular, it is the specific manipulation of soft tissue (muscle, ligament, tendon and fascia) that can help restore function by treating and preventing specific health issues, musculoskeletal dysfunction and injuries. It is used to treat strains, sprains, broken bones, bruising, any injury where the skin is intact. Deep tissue massage removes blockages, damaged cells, scar tissue and adhesions left after injury, speeds up recovery and encourages more complete healing. Remedial Massage is also used for conditions created by lifestyle for example Repetitive Strain Injury and Back Pain.
There are several techniques used during a remedial massage, each with a particular use specific to a desired outcome. The techniques used are designed to increase the flow of blood and lymph around the body, particularly in the injured areas. This enables the body to heal. It is often successful where other forms of treatment have failed.
A normal massage is unspecific in its aim to provide muscle relief and ease tension. By comparison, a remedial massage targets a particular area of the body that is the focal point of pain and discomfort. Remedial massages use expert techniques to promote normality in your body structure and restore optimal health. A remedial massage achieves this by firstly identifying musculoskeletal pain or dysfunction, and then employing targeting methods to alleviate discomfort and enhance the body’s natural ability to repair. Some remedial specific techniques may include effleurage, wringing, or compressions – all of which are dependent on the type of pain and its location.
The results process differs based on an individual’s self-healing process and the extent of the injury or discomfort in the body. A remedial massage will help increase the flow of oxygen and nutrients to damaged cells, prompting them to heal and recover. If your body has an excessive amount of toxins and waste as a result of musculoskeletal issues, this will slow down the healing process. In cases of severe injury, monthly remedial massages may be required to enforce cell turnover.
Mild or slight discomfort is a common occurrence when receiving a remedial massage. However, extreme pain is counter-intuitive to the aim of a remedial massage, which is to restore relaxation and relieve tension, and is often only used in extreme cases of bodily dysfunction or dislocation. Similarly, it is common to feel a slight discomfort post-massage due to the manipulation of soft tissue in affected areas. This pain usually subsides naturally and lessens over a 48-hour period. If this is not the case, get in contact with your therapist.
