What is Remedial Massage therapy?

Remedial massage therapy is a therapeutic form of massage to “remedy” specific injuries or muscular dysfunction. Varying massage techniques are used to relax muscles and soft tissues such as tendons and fascia (connective tissue). Massage pressure can vary from relaxing, superficial strokes to deep, strong pressure.

Stronger, deeper movements may be used to release  long-term tension and fibrosis of tissues especially for those with chronic pain conditions.
