Remedial Massage for Pain Management

Remedial massage provides a healing treatment for pain that can be gentle, strong, deep, or shallow depending on how you need it. When muscles and tendons have become damaged, inflamed, knotted, tense, or sore, remedial massage can be used as an effective healing and soothing treatment. It is designed to holistically treat the entire body to trace the discomfort back to the original cause to tackle the symptoms in the best way.

What Conditions Benefit from Remedial Massage?

Remedial massage is suitable for a wide range of conditions that cause pain. Conditions and ailments that can be effectively treated by remedial massage include neck and back pain, sports injuries, tension headaches, facial and jaw pains, arthritis, frozen shoulder, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, muscular cramps and spasms, delayed onset muscle soreness, and even stress.

How Can a Remedial Massage Help?

If you suffer from any of the conditions listed above or have any type of aches or pains, remedial massage may be able to help you in several ways. This type of massage is designed to have a positive impact on various parts of your body. These include circulation, muscles and joints, and the endocrine system. During a remedial massage, the circulatory system is stimulated, encouraging blood flow to the affected tissue, which can relieve pain and tension. It also has a direct impact on the affected muscles, by stretching and relaxing them to relieve tightness and inflammation. It can also increase joint strength, stability, and motion. Additionally, remedial massage has been shown to promote a decrease in cortisol, a hormone that is produced when we experience stress or pain.

How to Get the Most from Remedial Massage:

If you are suffering from muscle or joint pain, a remedial massage can help at any time. Ideally, it’s a good idea to go for regular massages with a trained therapist; this will help to promote mobility, improve function, and work over time to stop conditions from becoming any more painful. The amount of massages that you will need before you’ll be able to enjoy a pain-free life will vary depending on the type, severity and stage of your condition. If in doubt, speak to an experienced massage therapist who will be able to give you a better idea of how many treatments you’ll need before beginning to see noticeable, sustainable improvements. A weekly massage works well for many patients in the chronic stages converting to three or six monthly maintenance treatments. .
