The brain perceives a physical stimulus through receptor organs in the skin, fascia and muscles and initiates a relaxation response to that “uncomfortable” stimulus – it goes something like this:

“This is uncomfortable – I’ll relax that tissue so it doesn’t feel uncomfortable.”

Remedial Massage is encouraging the brain/nervous system to relax the body.

A general deep tissue massage won’t involve the same level of assessment and is usually just for generalized muscle soreness and tension. Remedial focuses on the cause and often site of pain. In reality there is often a crossover of techniques and a mix of the two styles is used.

Remedial also uses
Trigger Point therapy: for alleviation of trigger points
Direct Myofascial Release: for improving flexibility and mobility
Muscle Energy Technique (MET): is now a common technique used by a number of therapies. Osteopaths designed the technique around 100 years ago. MET is the use of light contractions by the client in very specific directions to alter joint restrictions and range.

The therapist would need to assess the situation and it would be influenced by how old the injury was, the strength and condition of surrounding muscles, the types of things you do regularly with your body etc, and how prepared you are to follow through on the stretches and/or strengthening exercises provided. They may choose to refer you to a Myotherapist if the injury requires this.

As a rule of thumb if you have had a condition or injury for a while then expect to have 3 treatments one week apart, then to drop back to fortnightly for a few more with an assessment by the therapist to check progress. The aim is to decrease or eliminate pain, improve mobility and get you to a maintenance massage stage.

A regularly scheduled massage usually monthly to stop the build up of tension, improve muscle function and health, release stress and keep you in good shape. Really this is what everyone in the modern world should be having for their health and wellbeing! The stress placed on bodies from sitting for long periods or repetitive work that needs to be addressed regularly. As a result, stress management exercises are very important.

Think of maintenance massage as your monthly physical, mental and emotional tuneup.
