Remedial Massage

A more specialized treatment Remedial Massage focuses on one part of your body or a specific problem you have, and works to relieve it through manual manipulation of the muscles.

 

Before commencing treatment a full assessment will be done of the area including range of motion, tightness, pain and any injury history. This is to make sure I don’t exacerbate any existing injuries and also so we both have a clear starting point from which to measure your progress.

 

After treatment we will conduct the same investigations so we can gauge how effective the treatment was. Post treatment may also include some exercises for you to do at home if desired.
