Its more than just relaxation
Everyone enjoys a massage—it’s relaxing, relieves stress, and makes our muscles feel like someone has pressed the refresh button. But did you know a remedial massage isn’t just a treat? It’s a targeted treatment that can help with pain, recovery, mobility, and even stress-related health issues.
Here are the five most common reasons people choose remedial massage:
1. Relief from Muscle Pain or Tension
Whether it’s long hours at a desk, standing on your feet all day, or repeating the same movements, muscle tension can build up quickly. Remedial massage releases tightness, restores flexibility, and helps you move more comfortably.
2. Injury Recovery and Rehabilitation
Recovering from an injury takes time and care. Massage supports this process by improving circulation, reducing scar tissue, and easing the load on overworked muscles that may be compensating for injured ones. It’s a valuable partner to physiotherapy for faster and smoother recovery.
3. Headache and Migraine Relief
Tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back is often linked to headaches or migraines. Remedial massage releases this muscular tightness and can reduce both the frequency and intensity of headaches. Techniques such as trigger point therapy—especially in the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM)—can be particularly effective.
4. Improved Flexibility and Mobility
Tight muscles can restrict movement and make everyday activities harder. Massage helps to release stiffness in the muscles and joints, allowing your body to move more freely. Better mobility also makes it easier to stay active and maintain your health.
5. Stress Reduction and Relaxation
Stress often shows up physically as tightness in the shoulders, neck, and upper back. Remedial massage calms the nervous system, lowers stress hormones, improves sleep quality, and eases the physical effects of stress.
More Than Just a Massage
Remedial massage is more than simply “getting a massage.” It’s a targeted, therapeutic treatment that supports your health and wellbeing. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing day-to-day stress, or wanting to move more comfortably, remedial massage can help keep your body performing at its best.
