Remedial Massage
This form of treatment is more for structural problems such as bad posture, injuries – acute and cronic, and stress. Whereas relaxation massage is working more the superficial muscles (those closer to the surface), Remedial is working into the deeper muscles to help break down adhesions, help release facia and release deep tension in the muscles.
Techniques include trigger point therapy, cross-fiber work, myofacia releasing and stretching. Postural correcting methods are also suggested to help the individual sustain the benefits of this form of treatment.
Relaxation Massage
IThis form of massage is a beautiful way to nurture and sooth the body. It has been in use from as far back as the early Egptians and very likely well before that.
It is a very effective method of combining gentler strokes with therapeutic techniques to allow the practioner to de-stress and help remove tension from the body while allowing the receipient the enjoyment of feeling totally cared for.
Relaxation massage is also beneficial for increasing circulation, encouraging reduction in fluid retention and boosting your immune system.
