What is remedial massage?

Remedial massage is a therapeutic form of massage that addresses specific health issues, injuries and muscular imbalances within the body. At Tan Chiro, we utilise techniques like deep tissue massage, myofascial release and trigger point therapy to effectively alleviate pain enhance flexibility and promote a more vital sense of wellbeing.

Why remedial massage?

If you’re looking to recover from physical ailments and improve your overall health, remedial massage is essential. Remedial massage goes well beyond “relaxation” - it targets specific physical issues to help restore normal health and motion. 

This form of therapy is especially beneficial for individuals who suffer from chronic pain, muscular tension or those recovering from injury, making it a vital part of medical and other chiropractic techniques.

Synergy with chiropractic care

Remedial massage and chiropractic care are complementary therapies that often go hand in hand, and our patients often benefit from both.

Chiropractic treatment is centered on the diagnosis and management of mechanical issues affecting the musculoskeletal system, with a particular emphasis on spinal health. 

When paired with remedial massage, which softens and prepares the muscles and connective tissues, chiropractic treatments can be more effective. This is because remedial massage promotes increased circulation and flexibility, which in turn can lead to a more effective and comfortable chiropractic adjustment.

Key Benefits of Remedial Massage

  • Enhanced Circulation: Regular sessions help improve blood flow, boosting your natural healing capabilities and overall vitality.

  • Stress Reduction: Experience significant decreases in stress levels, fostering mental and physical relaxation.

  • Pain Relief and Increased Mobility: Through targeted treatments, our therapists can relieve your pain, improve your range of motion and enhance muscle function.

Remedial massage and deep tissue massage - What’s the difference?

What’s the difference between remedial massage and deep tissue massage? While both remedial and deep tissue massages are used to treat muscle pain and improve mobility, they differ significantly in their approach and objectives. 

Remedial massage is a holistic treatment that involves assessing and treating specific injuries or muscular dysfunctions across the body. It employs a range of techniques tailored to address individual conditions and restore you to normal function. 

Deep tissue massage, on the other hand, focuses primarily on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues, targeting chronic muscle tension and knots.

If you’re ever confused between the two, don’t hesitate to ask us about the best treatment for your situation.

Are myotherapy and remedial massage the same thing?

Myotherapy and remedial massage are closely related but not identical. Myotherapy is a form of physical therapy that uses a wide range of remedial techniques, including massage, to treat musculoskeletal pain and associated conditions. Myotherapy often includes a broader set of treatment options such as dry needling, thermal therapy, and exercise prescription alongside massage. 

Remedial massage, on the other hand, has its differences. While remedial massage is a key component of myotherapy, it specifically focuses on manual muscle manipulation to address pain and dysfunction.
