This form of therapy is an involved, deep rub-down that involves stretches, exercises and specific techniques to aid your rehabilitation. This is designed to solve any dysfunction or discomfort you’re experiencing. The aim is to remedy conditions that are musculoskeletal, medical or pathological.
The deep strokes to the contracted tissue by the therapist stretch out tight muscles and increase the flow of blood to them, helping to relieve tension and improve functionality. Your therapist will discuss with you what your expected outcomes are, and work with you to help you reach them (if they are achievable).

What happens during a Remedial Massage session?
Each session at our clinic starts with an evaluation of the treatment you need. This allows your massage therapist to adapt your plan according to you, and make modifications for your future sessions.
Depending on your concerns, your remedial massage therapist will conduct an assessment of your posture and ask you for a verbal history of your complaint. If your issue is more severe, your therapist will perform other testing such as orthopedic, motion, and muscle function and strength.
They will then talk with you about their conclusions from the assessment and suggest a course of treatment that they think will achieve the desired outcomes. They will explain in depth why they recommend an individual treatment, and how the particular techniques will help your concerns.
On the rare occasion that the goal isn’t achieved within the treatment timeline, or we feel that a different approach than what we can provide is needed, we will give you a referral to one of the trusted specialist contacts in our network.
