Remedial Massage
Many people suffer from chronic muscle pain due to patterns of compensation that have developed as a result of injury, incorrect posture or skeletal distortion. Specific ailments can be targeted by testing before the treatment and again after the treatment, to ensure optimal results. Correct balance is restored by relieving the stresses that maintain the pattern. To achieve the best outcome, clients may be required to undertake exercises or conduct stretches at home after this massage. Remedial massage helps restore function to injured ‘soft tissues’ - muscles, tendons and ligaments - throughout the body. Pricing
