Remedial massage is a tailored treatment focusing on an individual’s specific pain patterns and/or injuries. The therapist will use a wide range of techniques such as myofascial release, trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage and PNF stretching to assist the body with its natural healing process. These techniques can be intense but they are most effective in treating chronic issues with good results.
Relaxation massages primarily focus on the relaxation of the client and to relieve the symptoms of stress and anxiety. This will be perfect for you if you prefer a lighter pressure massage and just want to enjoy the experience.

The sessions are time based. In other words you select the amount of time you wish, and it is also up to you with what you’d like to do in those times. Whether it is remedial or relaxation or a mixture of both. This will all be discussed at the beginning of your appointments.
Everybody is different, but it is quite common to feel sore, tired and a bit groggy after a remedial massage. Don’t stress! This is completely normal and will only last 24-48 hours. This is caused by the toxins and waste materials being released back into the blood stream as they are broken down and flushed out through the lymphatic system.
The soreness you may feel is from the manual manipulation of the muscle and fascia. Just think when you do a gym workout you create micro tears in the muscle to allow it to grow stronger and repair. It is the same sort of process where the muscle and scar tissue has been manually broken down to allow more blood flow and free restrictions.
It is really important you follow the aftercare for your body sculpting treatments. This will determine your results.
