Remedial Massage at Osteophi
At Osteophi, we aim to support your journey towards improved mobility and comfort, helping you engage in the activities you enjoy. Our remedial massage services are structured to assist with various musculoskeletal concerns, including neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, and elbow pain.
Whether you are managing tension, recovering from a sports injury, or looking to support physical performance, remedial massage may be beneficial.
What Is Remedial Massage?
Remedial massage is a form of manual therapy that focuses on assessing and addressing issues within the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues. Unlike general relaxation massages, remedial massage is intended to identify and work on specific areas of tension, discomfort, or reduced mobility.
This approach is tailored to the individual, aiming to relieve discomfort and support improved physical function. It is often used to address concerns such as muscle strain, stiffness, or discomfort from overuse. This therapy can also complement other treatments by promoting relaxation in affected areas and enhancing overall movement.
What Are the Benefits of Remedial Massage?
Remedial massage offers a targeted approach to supporting physical function and overall well-being. By focusing on the underlying causes of discomfort or tension, remedial massage may assist in the management of musculoskeletal concerns when incorporated into a personalised care plan. It is often used to:
-
Address Muscle Tension
Tension in muscles can contribute to neck, back, or shoulder pain. Remedial massage techniques focus on releasing this tension, aiming to reduce discomfort and improve posture.
-
Support Mobility
Through techniques aimed at easing stiffness and encouraging flexibility, remedial massage may support better joint function and range of motion.
-
Aid Recovery
With the aim of promoting blood flow to affected areas, remedial massage may contribute to the body’s recovery processes as part of a broader care plan.
-
Alleviate Muscle-Related Discomfort
Muscle tightness or imbalances can lead to discomfort in areas such as the shoulders, lower back, or legs. Regular sessions may support the management of these issues, depending on individual needs and circumstances.
People seek remedial massage for various reasons, including managing chronic tension, postural concerns, or supporting recovery after physical activity or sporting injuries. For those with deeper muscle-related discomfort, aspects of deep tissue massage can be applied to better target the areas of concern.
What to Expect During Your First Appointment
Your first session at Osteophi begins with a conversation to explore your health history, concerns, and goals. This discussion helps us tailor the treatment to address your needs. Techniques used during the session are selected based on your comfort level and the areas of focus identified during the assessment.
Throughout the process, we provide clear explanations and encourage open communication to ensure you feel comfortable. After the session, you may be provided with recommendations, such as stretches or exercises, to help maintain the benefits.
