What is Remedial Massage?

Remedial Massage is a treatment modality of manual soft tissue therapy that effectively reduces pain and restores function to muscles, nerves, fascia and other connective tissues. It uses relevant techniques, oils and movements according to the client’s needs and response. This leads to the healing process of soft tissue, repairing and restoring functional integrity and adaption back to health. In addition to this, it also enhances other systems in your body, which may have been impaired due to injury, dysfunction or overuse.

Hands-on pressure will be applied during your remedial massage, to improve the integrity and function of muscles and your body as a whole, so you can immediately begin to feel the positive, powerful changes that so many of our clients enjoy every day.

The Benefits of Massage

Massage is for everyone; most people nowadays are suffering from one form of stress-related condition or another. This can be felt as physical tension, resulting in knotted muscles or mental overactivity and anxiety, which will then have an impact on the function of your body. Massage can help reduce the physical effects of tension and help to calm the mind.

The connection between mind and body is such that being in good shape, physically affects the mind, and being mentally relaxed helps your body to function better.

The therapeutic benefits produced by massage include loosening of muscular tension, stimulating the circulation of the blood and improving lymphatic fluid circulation. Regular massage can be beneficial if you experience any everyday tensions such as headaches, migraines, neck pain, poor sleep quality, general aches and pains, or if you just want to maintain your good health practices.

To care for your own health and well-being, a regular massage can relax the body and mind. It can assist in easing soft tissue pain caused by strain, injury or overuse such as from sport and training activities or from repetitive movement and posture in the workplace. Relieve your pain caused by muscle spasms, sore joints, back and neck problems by having regular massage as part of your regime towards better health. Massage can be delivered on its own, or it can complement other forms of treatment such as chiropractic, physiotherapy and acupuncture. Using a combination of these therapies working in harmony together you could benefit from feeling better for longer between your visits to us at Albany Creek Allied Health Centre.
