What is remedial massage?

The short version?

“Remedial massage is used to aid muscle recovery, reduce pain and improve mobility, blood flow, circulation and lactic acid.

Different to other forms of relaxation massage, remedial massage is performed by a trained remedial massage therapist which is normally a 2 year course.

“Remedial massage is used for the prevention and management of injuries, including soft tissue injuries, and can be performed in guidance with other health professionals as a part of a patient’s treatment plan.
