Remedial massage is a targeted, assessment-based approach to manual therapy. It is a treatment that focuses on the parts of the body that require attention in order to effectively treat a specific pain, condition or injury and restore function to the body.

​

 

A remedial treatment will firstly start with a health history check and assessment, including a review of the muscles & other structures involved in the area of complaint. Once the therapist understands the issues causing the pain, they will then perform a targeted manual treatment of the area. A remedial treatment is performed with a specific goal in mind which means that it will often be done over a series of sessions, where the therapist is constantly assessing the state of the client and noting any improvements or deterioration. This allows them to adjust their treatment and give their client the best possible chance of recovery.

​

 

As part of a remedial treatment, therapists will use a variety of different techniques in order to achieve an outcome for the client including; Swedish/relaxation, deep tissue therapy, trigger point therapy, muscle energy techniques, stretches and more.
