Remedial massage is designed to remedy the pain in the physical body. In comparison to Myotherapy, Remedial is predominantly a massage-based (hands-on) therapy. It is mostly used to address pain and tension throughout the muscles and surrounding soft-tissues of the body when the pain initially presents; whether chronic or acute.
In comparison to Relaxation massage, Remedial massage therapy has large focus on deeper massage-based techniques; such as Trigger Point Therapy, deep-tissue therapy, myofascial release, stretching and basic joint mobilisation (gentle joint movements to encourage mobility).
