Remedial massage uses techniques that stimulate the flow of blood and lymph throughout the body. The result is improved muscular flexibility and range of motion. It can also reduce pain and discomfort in the joints.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The first thing the therapist will do is ask questions about your health history and get a feel for how your body moves. They will then perform some orthopaedic and limb tests to assess your strength, movement, and any injuries or issues that might need to be addressed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Remedial massage works by manipulating the soft tissue of the body to increase the body\u2019s circulation. This is achieved through a technique called vasodilation whereby the therapist widens the body\u2019s blood vessels to allow for easier flow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As a result, the therapist will ease muscle tension that causes headaches and migraines. It can also help to release the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline, resulting in an overall feeling of wellbeing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Improved circulation also increases white blood cells in the body, heightening immunity by distributing them to the varying parts of the body. In addition, the reduced level of stress enables the mind to function better and therefore improves mental clarity and concentration. This will then lead to a reduction in stress-related illnesses, such as high blood pressure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Increases Elasticity<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Remedial massage stimulates the body\u2019s circulatory system to improve blood flow which helps release tight and overworked muscles. As the muscle fibres relax they increase in elasticity, which reduces pain and tension.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The friction of remedial massage causes a warm sensation which encourages the skin to produce oil and lubricate itself, improving flexibility. This also aids in preventing dry skin and assists with the body\u2019s natural healing process. Regular remedial massage can also help prevent recurring injuries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
In addition to easing pain, massage promotes the release of feel good hormones, including endorphins, reducing the production of cortisol which is associated with stress, anxiety and depression. Keeping the body in a relaxed and happy state is vital for overall health and well-being.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Remedial massage also aims to realign joints that have become misaligned, this can be the result of an injury or as a normal part of ageing. The improved mobility in the joints helps alleviate pain and prevents further damage by decreasing pressure on surrounding tissues.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The first part of your remedial massage will involve a health history, observation and some range of motion or joint tests. Your therapist will then perform the remedial massage treatment. Following your session your therapist will advise on exercises, stretches or other treatments to speed up the healing process and keep you feeling better for longer.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
