What is Remedial Massage?
Remedial massage therapists hold a Certificate IV of Massage Therapy Practice as well as a Diploma of Remedial Massage. This means that they are better able to help with conditions that require remedial work or pain relief as compared to just relaxation techniques.
Remedial Massage makes use of passive movements and joint mobilising techniques, working towards a specific goal in the treatment of the patient.
Various modalities are utilised to reduce pain, release chronic tension in muscles and increase range of motion of joints. Remedial massage is a holistic treatment approach focusing on resolving the primary cause of the problem, as well as treating the symptoms.
Of course, massage is also a great way to relax, unwind and reduce stress levels.
What’s the difference between remedial massage and osteopathy?
Both treatment types have their place when it comes to your health. Remedial massage is good for when you have tired and achey muscles after exercise or sedentary periods (like at work). They can also help with general relaxation or sporting or workplce injuries to decrease muscle spasm and thereby decreasing pain. Click here for further information on how massage can help you.
An osteopath will look not only at your muscles, but at the whole structure of the body to make sure that everything is aligned. They can help with more specific pain conditions where massage just isn’t enough. Osteopaths will often work together with your massage therapists to ensure the best results for you.
