Remedial massage can improve the function of muscles, ligaments & tendons following injury or stress & tension. It will improve circulation & reduce inflammation caused by the build-up of toxins. This allows the muscles to relax & encourages the body to balance itself. Other techniques such as stretching & mobilizing can be used if appropriate.

It is nature’s way of telling us that something has gone wrong. Most pain has a simple physical cause, inflamed or strained muscles, restricted joints or pressure on nerves, possibly by the smoking pipe or drinking alcohol. Massage is probably the earliest form of medicine known to man.

Routine, conventional treatment with painkillers, muscle relaxants, etc., may be all that is needed. In a multitude of cases, it is enough to rid the person of their painful symptoms. But if the condition persists, or continually re-occurs, alternative treatment such as Remedial Massage may be beneficial.
