Remedial massage is a comprehensive assessment, analysis, and treatment of your body. It’s a catch-all word for a number of soft tissue procedures aimed at increasing sports performance, posture and flexibility, relieving tired muscles, avoiding and/or treating injury, and preventing and/or managing damage.

When should you come to see a Remedial Massage Therapist?

  • If you are experiencing pain or stiffness in a part of your body that is not improving on its own.
    Muscles that are stiff or in pain.
    Injury prevention and treatment, as well as boosting sports performance, are all important considerations.
  • You’re concerned about your posture and want to learn how to improve it.
  • If you have lower back discomfort, headaches, or pain in any of your joints, you should see a doctor (neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, or ankles).
  • If you want to enhance your flexibility, here is the place to go.
  • If you’re stretching and triggering but still don’t feel like you’re progressing.
  • If having someone else relax your muscles for you instead of having to stretch and trigger all of the time sounds like a great idea.

Techniques include:

  • Trigger point therapy and deep tissue massage
    Exercises that improve strength and flexibility
    Myofascial release and joint mobilisation
  • Stretching with assistance
  • active release technique
  • Dry needling and cupping
  • The use of both hot and cold therapy.

Assessment Techniques include:

(It takes 3–8 minutes to perform on everyone in a remedial massage session.)
Background in Medicine
Determine if the symptoms you’ve brought in can be treated with remedial massage and start formulating a plan to assess what’s going on in your body by identifying the most important areas to focus on in your body, day-to-day activities’ possible contribution to your symptoms, and determine if the symptoms you’ve brought in can be treated with remedial massage.

Observation and palpation

Improve your posture, minimise muscular stress, and pinpoint areas of your body that require further investigation.

Evaluations of joints and range of motion

Flexibility, muscular strength, and the capacity to recognise problems caused by joint, nerve, ligament, or soft tissue dysfunction are all important factors to consider.

Orthopedic Examinations Neurological Examination

A series of tests that can be used to determine what’s causing your symptoms and why.

What does it involve?

Remedial massage therapists must have a diploma in remedial massage. They learn a wide range of skills.

Exams that, among other things, look at your presenting symptoms, posture, movement patterns, muscle strength, flexibility, and underlying causes and disorders.

Your remedial massage therapist will ask you to fill out a health history form and talk about why you’ve decided to seek treatment. They will evaluate your posture, range of motion, flexibility, and muscular strength based on your dialogue, as well as check for any underlying causes or conditions that may be contributing to your problems. They will then create a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

Our remedial massage therapists’ goal at Just Knead It is to provide you with a combination of immediate comfort and long-term outcomes by addressing the underlying reasons. We want you to feel fantastic after each session, but we also want you to notice a difference in the symptoms that prompted you to seek help.

Our therapists are well-versed in treatment procedures and attend regular continuing education sessions on the most up-to-date evaluation and therapeutic techniques. They recognise that everyone reacts to things differently, and that some approaches work better on some people than on others. To relieve your symptoms, therapists work hard to determine out which treatments are most helpful for your body.

Finally, your remedial massage therapist has received training on exercises and stretches that can aid in the long-term management of your ailment. The therapists at Just Knead It recognise that giving too many exercises can be intimidating and time-consuming. They understand the need of incorporating your at-home hobbies into your daily routine, as well as your work, family, and fitness obligations. Your remedial massage therapist will work with you to develop a home treatment plan that meets your needs.
