Remedial Massage Therapy

Remedial massage at Life Physio is conducted by our trained massage therapists, who are adept at aiding the body's recovery from injuries and managing musculoskeletal disorders. Our therapists specialize in treating chronic imbalances, strains, sprains, fractures, and other injuries where the skin remains intact. The technique of deep tissue massage is employed to clear blockages, repair damaged cells, address scar tissue, and reduce adhesions resulting from injuries. This not only accelerates the recovery process but also promotes a more comprehensive healing.
Furthermore, remedial massage is effective in treating conditions caused by lifestyle factors, such as Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and back pain. The massage is designed to enhance blood and lymph flow, especially in injured areas, thereby facilitating the healing process.
What sets remedial massage apart from other massage styles is its targeted therapeutic effect. It specifically addresses particular issues (e.g., tightness following a hamstring strain) as opposed to providing a general therapeutic effect (e.g., relaxation achieved through a standard massage).
