FAQs

Remedial massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on treating musculoskeletal issues, such as muscle tension, pain, and injuries. It involves assessing and treating specific muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues to alleviate pain, improve function, and promote healing.
While both types of massage can be relaxing, remedial massage is more targeted and therapeutic. It aims to address specific musculoskeletal problems, whereas relaxation massage focuses primarily on promoting general relaxation and well-being.

Remedial massage offers a wide range of benefits, including:

  • Pain relief: Reduces pain in muscles, joints, and other soft tissues.
  • Improved flexibility: Increases range of motion and reduces stiffness.
  • Reduced muscle tension: Releases muscle tightness and spasms.
  • Enhanced circulation: Improves blood flow to injured areas, promoting healing.
  • Stress reduction: Promotes relaxation and reduces stress levels.
  • Improved posture: Helps correct postural imbalances.
  • Injury recovery: Aids in the rehabilitation of injuries.

Remedial massage can be beneficial for various conditions, including:

  • Back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Headaches
  • Sciatica
  • Sports injuries
  • Muscle strains and sprains
  • Tendonitis
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Arthritis

Your first session will typically involve a consultation and assessment to understand your health history and concerns. The massage therapist will then develop a personalized treatment plan. The massage itself may involve a variety of techniques, such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and stretching.



Sessions typically range from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your individual needs and the areas being treated.

The frequency of treatment will depend on your condition and goals. Your therapist will recommend a treatment plan that’s right for you. It may range from weekly sessions to monthly maintenance massages.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement. You may be asked to undress to your level of comfort, but you will be properly draped with towels to ensure privacy.
Many health insurance plans offer coverage for remedial massage, especially if it’s part of a treatment plan for a specific condition. Check with your insurance provider to confirm your coverage.
Some techniques may cause temporary discomfort, but the massage should not be painful. Your therapist will communicate with you throughout the session and adjust the pressure as needed.
Inform your therapist of any injuries or conditions you have before the massage. They will tailor the treatment to your specific needs and avoid any contraindicated areas.
Yes, remedial massage can be beneficial during pregnancy, but it’s essential to inform your therapist so they can modify the treatment accordingly. Certain techniques and areas may be avoided during pregnancy.
