Massage

Remedial massage is a deep, probing type of soft tissue work used to correct muscular, or other types of soft tissue imbalances. The palms and fingers are used to palpate the soft tissues to locate and treat these imbalances.

Massage is a mechanical cleanser of soft tissues and it works by squeezing toxins (by-products of muscle usage) out of the muscles.  Remedial massage with its deeper and more specific pressures is very efficient at this.  A remedial massage therapist has highly developed palpation skills which enables him/her to find specific tissues at the root of the problem which may be hidden deep or underneath other tissues or may be only one or two fibres thick.

 A remedial massage therapist works by using their palms and fingers to palpate the muscles to locate and then treat muscle imbalances.  Treatment is usually a combination of squeezing and stretching taut and congested muscle fibres Squeezing will push out of the muscles toxins (by-products of muscle usage) and fluids that block up the muscle preventing normal pain free use. Stretching stimulates the nerves that control the muscles to further facilitate their relaxation.
