What is Remedial Massage and Why Should You Try It?

If you’ve been experiencing muscle tension, chronic pain, or simply feel like your body needs a reset, Remedial Massage might be the solution you’ve been looking for. At Ploythai Massage and Spa, we specialise in this therapeutic technique designed to target the root cause of muscular issues not just the symptoms.

What is Remedial Massage?

Remedial Massage is a targeted therapy that uses deep tissue techniques to treat specific musculoskeletal issues such as muscle tension, pain, sports injuries, or posture-related discomfort. Unlike a relaxing massage, remedial massage is more focused, using assessment and clinical reasoning to develop a personalised treatment plan.

The therapist will identify damaged areas of the body and use techniques to support and speed up the body’s own healing processes. This might include stretching, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release.

Benefits of Remedial Massage

1. Pain Relief

   Whether it’s neck, shoulder, lower back, or sciatic pain, remedial massage helps release tension and reduce inflammation, leading to effective pain relief.

   
   

2. Injury Recovery

   If you’re recovering from an injury, remedial massage promotes circulation and supports the healing of muscles, tendons, and joints.

   
   

3. Improved Mobility and Flexibility

   By releasing tight muscles and improving joint function, clients often notice an increase in their range of motion.

   
   

4. Postural Correction

   Modern life especially sitting at desks or standing for long periods can lead to poor posture. Remedial massage addresses muscle imbalances to help realign your body.

   
   

5. Stress Reduction

While it’s a clinical treatment, remedial massage still provides a sense of relaxation and mental relief, making it great for reducing anxiety and stress.
