What is Remedial Massage?
Remedial massage is a technique that targets the tendons and muscles through pressure to ease muscle tension, pain and reduce symptoms. If you have a specific problem, then your massage therapist applies a range of techniques to restore the soft tissues back to functioning condition.

How often should I have Remedial Massage?
The frequency at which you have a remedial massage largely depends upon your lifestyle. If you are particularly active, you may need a massage once every 1 to 3 weeks. However, if your lifestyle is more sedentary and you have an office job, then you may only need a massage every 4 to 8 weeks. However, your Remedial Massage Therapist will recommend the frequency depending on each individual.
