What is Remedial Massage?
A remedial Massage therapist uses systematic assessment and treatment of the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues of the body, to assist in pain, injury and rehabilitation. A remedial massage session must involve a thorough patient consultation and assessment to determine the patient’s health status.
The treatment is designed to improve the condition by restoring function and minimizing or eliminating pain.
The goal of remedial is to help the body return to normal health after injury by reasonably reversing certain physical effects suffered as a result of moderate injury causing structural pain and/or lost mobility or function.
Remedial therapists must possess a comprehensive understanding of human anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology to effectively treat patients. In order to use a range of therapies to address chronic musculoskeletal condition, postural issues, and occupational injuries sustained and sporting. They should hold at least a Diploma of Remedial Massage.
Myofascial cupping
Cupping is an ancient method used to treat a multitude of conditions and involves the use of warm glass cups or vacuum cups held by suction caused when warmed air in the cup cools, to massage the body by sliding along the muscle.
Remedial massage will combine this method to release areas where the fascia may be tight or trapped to allow the fascia to soften, lengthen, and release. By releasing the underlying triggers of pain and stiffness, myofascial procedures can help us release tangle patterns and regain our range of motion. Memories stored in the body’s tissues may also come to the surface and be released while we do this.
Most cupping procedures will create a red to dark circle on the skin, but this generally disappears within a week.
Heat Therapy
Thermotherapy (heat) is used to decrease pain, soothe discomfort, promote relaxation, decrease muscle spasm, increase muscle flexibility, decrease the stiffness of joints, and improve circulation and blood flow.
During our remedial therapy, we can use hot stone, herbal ball, warm towel or Thai massage in combination that is beneficial to all our clients
