Advanced Remedial Massage is one of the most effective and readily available ways to prevent and treat muscle injuries, pain and soreness. Our unique Remedial massage is based on the fact that soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia) respond to touch. Most pain is myofascial (soft tissue) in origin. Trigger points (sensitive points in muscles, which radiate or refer pain to various parts of the body) can mimic many conditions. Muscles not only move our joints, they stabilise them, and they provide armour for the internal organs, minor problems with these functions cause more pain than most people realise. Most headaches originate in the muscles of the neck and head. Much of the pain of such conditions as angina comes from the hypercontraction of the chest muscles. Much abdominal and pelvic pain can be caused by trigger points in the abdominal and pelvic muscles. Low back pain and sciatic pain are far more likely to originate in muscles than in vertebral disc problems. Although many of our guests who consult us have pain as a result of specific injuries (falls, sports injuries, etc.), RSI (repetitive strain injuries) and other work-related problems, the vast majority originates in postural (structural) alignment problems. Our experienced therapists have attained additional training, which will enable them to provide appropriate treatment for a wide variety of conditions. It is always advisable to consult our doctor before receiving a massage for specific conditions which may not be related to soft tissue.
