At The Healing Tree we offer a range of Remedial Massage, Deep Tissue and Balinese Relaxation Massage.
Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage uses several specialised techniques to locate and repair damage, and to support and speed up the body's own repair mechanisms. The pressure is applied directly to the skin using a lubricating medium (usually oil). This ensures that the treatment process to the muscles and corresponding joints which may be affected can be penetrated. Passive stretching manouvres may also be used by the massage therapist.
Additional massage therapies used by our therapists include:
- Deep Tissue Massage for specific area pain management
- Myofascial Stretching and Release Therapy for specific area pain management
- Trigger Point Treatment for specific area pain management
- Seek and Treat Massage to address potential trouble spots before the area under stress becomes a much more serious problem
- Myofascial Stretching and Release Therapy
Benefits of Remedial Massage therapies
Key benefits of Remedial Massage include:
§ The stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed
§ The calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort
§ The toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility
An improvement to the health of the cells, the repairing of tissues, and the easing of stiffness and tension can also be experienced through therapeutic relaxation.
Muscular and skeletal dysfunctions often addressed with Remedial Massage include Fibrositis, Spondylitis, Arthritis, Frozen Shoulder, Muscular Cramps, Whiplash injury, Muscular Atrophy, Sports and Dancing injuries. Most sessions usually take 30 minutes to an hour, depending on whether the practitioner will just address a specific area or give a whole body massage. As oil is used, it is necessary for the patient to be unclothed for the treatment.
