At your first remedial massage session, your massage therapist will begin by discussing your health history, current concerns, and areas of pain or tension. They’ll assess your posture and movement if needed, then apply targeted massage techniques tailored to your body’s needs. The goal is to relieve discomfort, restore function, and support long-term muscular health.
Remedial massage is a targeted, therapeutic treatment designed to address specific musculoskeletal issues such as injuries, chronic pain, and postural imbalances. It involves assessment and tailored techniques like deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release.
In contrast, relaxation massage (like Swedish massage, or Thai Massage) focuses on general stress relief and overall relaxation without addressing underlying dysfunction. Sports massage is similar to remedial but tailored for athletic performance and recovery. Remedial massage is ideal when you need focused, results-driven treatment—not just relaxation.
