What is Remedial Massage?
Remedial Massage performed by a Remedial Massage Therapist is a form of deep tissue massage focusing on tight and restricted soft tissue causing sore muscles and aching joints. A Remedial Massage Therapist aims to increase soft tissue flexibility, joint mobility assisting in recovery and prevention of injury by using trigger point therapy.
Muscle tension or chronic pain can be a result of a combination of factors such as stress from work, prolonged hours sitting behind a desk, lower activity levels or sports injuries. Soft tissue tension over time leads to movement imbalances and postural dysfunctions causing musculoskeletal pain.

What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep Tissue or Sports Massage is specifically used to effectively releases tight, overused or strained muscles associated with intense sports training loads. Deep tissue massage works by increasing blood flow to the tissues, assisting with scar tissue breakdown and encouraging lymphatic drainage of swelling and waste products.Treatment assists in sports performance to aid recovery time, reduce muscle tightness and prevent sports related strains and injury. Muscles without rest take longer to recover especially if combined with long hours sitting at a desk.
