What is Remedial Massage?

Remedial massage is a type of bodywork that focusses on areas of the body that require rehabilitation. It begins with an assessment of the muscles, ligaments and tendons of the body, and how they affect posture. A remedial massage therapist will use varying levels of pressure during treatment based on what is necessary to treat a specific issue. The most common remedial massage techniques include deep tissue work, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, fascial stretching, dry needling, as well as strengthening exercises for injured muscles and joints.
