How Remedial Massage Works
Manual therapies, such as Remedial Massage, work by applying pressure directly to concerning areas of the body to assist in the release of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues.
The aim of this treatment is to promote healing by increasing blood flow to the targeted areas which assist the body in it’s natural healing process.
Remedial Massage Explained
At our clinic, Remedial Massage is used alongside other techniques to provide the best care for our patients. We find that by applying this approach we are able to achieve results faster which also last longer than Remedial Massage alone.
Remedial Massage
This is the practice of firm pressure is used to target injured areas releasing tension and improving blood flow to assist with the body’s natural healing process. Oil is applied to the skin to help improve the flow of massage and aid with the transitional techniques.
Trigger Point Therapy
A technique in Remedial Massage, Trigger point therapy is a soft tissue technique that works to release pain and tension in muscles and fascia. A trigger point is basically a really sore point in a muscle when pushed on it, or what most people would call a knot. This technique is typically used in conjunction with the transitional techniques in Remedial Massage.
Acupressure
Using a similar method to Trigger Point Therapy, Acupressure is manual pressure used to stimulate specific Acupuncture points on the body. This may mean not specifically targeting the concerned area but rather a point considered to be in relation to the area in Traditional Chinese Medicine practice.
Benefits Of Remedial Massage
With years of experience, it’s our opinion that Remedial Massage and similar techniques should be used appropriately based on individual circumstances due to the intensity of pressure on the affected area. Used in excess, they may cause bruising, inflammation, and pain without significant improvement of symptoms.
However, using Manual Therapies correctly can produce great benefits for patients. Some of these benefits are:
- Release muscle tension
- Restore soft tissue structure
- Stimulate blood supply to localised areas
- Make joints/muscles more mobile
- Stimulate the body’s natural healing process
- Return muscles and bones to their normal position
Conditions That Are Treated With Remedial Massage
There are plenty of health concerns that benefit from receiving a professional Remedial Massage. Some of these involve, but are not limited to:
- Body Aches/Tension of the: Neck, Shoulders, Upper/Lower back, Hands, and Feet
- Particular joint pains such as Arthritis, Bursitis, and Gout
- Stress
- Strained Muscles
- Tennis/Golfers Elbow
- Nerve impingements such as Sciatica
- Muscular Cramps
- Muscle Soreness (DOMS)
- Soft Tissue Injuries
Other Treatments Commonly Used With Remedial Massage
There is no doubt Remedial Massage and Manual Therapies are powerful, effective, and even enjoyable techniques. However, there is a limit as to how much they can be used to achieve a positive effect in each session. As mentioned, overuse of these techniques can cause adverse effects such as bruising, pain and even little improvement of symptoms. It’s, for this reason, that we combine this treatment with other therapies as we know they are more effective together than alone.
Some of the therapies we may use are Acupuncture, Electro-Acupuncture, TENS , Auriculotherapy, Cupping Therapy, Herbal Medicine and even Moxibustion.
