Remedial and Sports Massage

What does remedial massage do?
Remedial massage involves a systematic assessment and treatment of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues to aid in alleviating pain, aiding injury recovery, and promoting rehabilitation. It employs a variety of therapeutic techniques to address knotted, tense, stiff, or damaged muscles. A remedial therapist will evaluate and determine which body areas need attention and apply a range of massage techniques to improve muscle function.

What is the difference between a remedial massage and a normal massage?
The distinction between a remedial massage and a regular massage lies in the approach. Remedial massage incorporates various methods that specifically target certain muscle groups, including trigger point therapy, PNF stretching, myofascial release, and muscle stripping. In contrast, a standard or relaxation massage typically follows a predetermined sequence and does not focus on particular areas.

One-on-one Stretching

What is stretching and its benefits?
Stretching is vital for maintaining muscle flexibility and health, which is necessary to preserve joint range of motion. Without regular stretching, muscles can shorten and tighten. This makes them less able to extend fully during activity, which can lead to decreased performance and increased risk of injury.

What happens when you stretch daily?
Engaging in daily stretching can offer both physical and mental advantages, including diminished pain and body tension, as well as enhanced mental clarity. Just a short session each day can expand your range of motion, simplify daily tasks, and alleviate joint stiffness.

Relaxation/Swedish Massage

What is swedish massage?
The Swedish massage is a widely popular form of massage therapy. It's designed to energize the body and enhance overall health. Techniques such as percussion, kneading, vibration, tapping, and rolling are employed. To minimize skin friction, massage oils or lotions are utilized.

What are the benefits of relaxing body massage?
Massage aids in enhancing circulation and relieving muscle tension. Alleviating tense muscles and diminishing the physical symptoms of stress can soothe the body and elevate mood. It prompts the body to release hormones that foster relaxation, such as endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine, which in turn reduce stress hormones.
