Remedial Massage

Treat chronic pain and muscle tightness using area-targeted techniques

What is Remedial Massage

Remedial massage supports rehabilitation on the areas that you are experiencing pain or have suffered injuries. It is a focused and targeted treatment used to release muscle tension for chronic or acute pain. It differs from a standard relaxation massage. 

Our therapists use this technique to identify the root cause of pains and issues and the muscles that need to be treated, such as muscles that are damaged, knotted, tensed or immobile. 

What to Expect During Your Remedial Massage Session

When you come in for your remedial massage session, we’ll start by discussing your concerns and areas of discomfort. Our therapists will assess your posture and range of movements to identify the muscles, tendons or ligaments that are causing the chronic or acute pain you are experiencing. 

You may experience some discomfort during the session, especially in areas where muscle knots or tightness have built up. Our therapist can also adjust the pressure to your comfort level. 

It is important to note that any soreness you feel during or after the session is a normal part of the healing process and should subside in the following days.
