Remedial Massage

Remedial massage may sound hard, firm and scary; however, it is a great treatment when your body suffers from chronic pain, you have been in an injury or feel tension and strains.

Remedial massage is often misunderstood or confused with other modalities of treatments such as sports massage, deep tissue, physiotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractic. The main reason for this confusion is that may physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors know how to perform Remedial Massage and offer remedial massage services to their clients.
