Remedial Massage

Best Remedial Massage

At Better Backs, we provide professional remedial massage from both our chiropractic clinics Mitcham.

Remedial massage is a complementary therapy that focuses on providing relief to muscles, and other soft tissues, that are tense, knotted, damaged or limited in range of movement.

Muscle problems can lead to issues elsewhere in the body including ligament and tendon problems, neck pain, back pain and headaches. Remedial massage aims to trace the source of the issue, relieving the symptoms and the cause of the pain.

Remedial massage is also commonly used to promote circulation and to assist the body’s natural healing processes.

What is Remedial Massage?

Remedial massage is a form of manual therapy that uses a combination of hands-on techniques including deep tissue massage, stretches, trigger point therapy and cupping. The pressure applied and the techniques used can vary depending on the practitioner’s assessment and the issue being treated.

Remedial massage may be used for preventative, corrective and rehabilitative treatments and, as a complementary treatment, is commonly integrated into a broader treatment plan.
