West Perth Remedial Massage
We live busy lives, rushing from one commitment to the next with barely any downtime. With stress levels going through the roof, massage is one of the ways to relieve the pressure.
What Is Remedial Massage?
Remedial massage is a complementary therapy aimed at addressing damaged, knotted, tense or immobile muscles. It is useful for a variety of problems affecting the muscles, tendons and bones, and a number of other health problems.
Tracing the original source of the pain, it tackles both the cause of the problem and relieves your symptoms. Massage locates and repairs damaged areas of the body, and speeds up the body’s own healing processes.
Remedial or Relaxation; What’s the Difference?
Several massage therapy methods can be used to address your situation. By varying the pressure applied, either strong and deep or gentle and shallow, depending on the problem, we provide the relief you need.
Remedial massage focuses on areas of stress and dysfunction in the body. Easing and stabilising the muscles may improve problems such as headaches, abdominal pain, low back pain and sciatic pain. Patients often seek care when they’ve experienced things like:
- Sporting and dance injuries
- Muscle cramps
- Whiplash
- Fibromyalgia
- Muscular atrophy
- Fibrositis
- Spondylitis
- Arthritis
- Frozen shoulder
Some people are not able to tolerate deep massage techniques. For them, relaxation massage is the answer. It uses longer strokes and more stretching to achieve the results you’re looking for. Whichever method you choose, you’ll likely be pleased with the results.
What to Expect
Massage increases circulation throughout the body; it’s important to hydrate before and after your session. Choose from a 30-, 45-, 60- or 90-minute massage session that can be claimed on most private insurance.
You might feel a little lightheaded after your massage. Avoid any strenuous activity while your blood flow returns to normal. When toxins are released from the muscles, some people get a “toxic headache.” Increasing your hydration should relieve the problem.
