Are you suffering from occasional migranes due to your stiff

neck?

Are you having back ache problems due to long hours at the

computer?

Do you lead a busy lifestyle with no time to exercise and feel

constantly tired?

Are you having muscle aches and pains and have problems even

lying down to sleep?

Instead of resorting to drugs and medication, a good

alternative to try is remedial massage therapy. Remedial

massage is a holistic treatment; that is, a treatment for the

whole of the body, as well as the area being treated.

Remedial massage uses several specialized skills to locate and

repair damage and speed up the body’s repair mechanism. A

professional remedial massage therapist has to draw on his

knowledge of anatomy, physiology, related pathology and the

techniques of Swedish massage, heat and cold therapies,

Kinesthetics and many other related fields for a complete

treatment.

Also, the professional massage therapist will use information

about your lifestyle, being your food diet, exercise regime,

allergies, medical history, etc. for diagnosis.

Remedial massage can involve gentle to strong strokes as well

as shallow to deep strokes. It works on the fact that soft

muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia is responsive to touch.

Sensitive points in the muscles often refer to pain in other

parts of the body. For instance, headaches may originate from

muscles in the neck and pelvic pains can be caused by certain

areas in the abdominal and pelvic area. Remedial massage helps

to stimulate blood flow in these areas, thus reducing pain,

swelling and pain, and speeding up the body’s natural healing

process.

Remedial massage is one of the most effective and natural

treatment for stress related conditions. Balance is ultimately

restored to your body system when your body parts are

functioning optimally. You feel a sense of renewal and more

energized that ever before!
