Remedial massage:
Remedial massage is the systematic assessment & treatment of the muscles, tendons, ligaments & connective tissues of the body to assist in rehabilitation, pain & injury management.  It's performed to create favourable conditions for the body to return to normal health after injury & is defined by the premise that the treatment can reasonably reverse certain physical effects a patient may be presenting.  If a patient has suffered a moderate injury resulting in structural pain and/or loss of function, then remediation is required to reduce or eliminate pain & restore that function.  Remedial massage is designed to balance muscle/ soft tissue length, tension, tone which will in turn promote the return to normal joint/ capsular/ bone position; increase the flow of blood & lymph, particularly in the injured areas, thus removing blockages, damaged cells, scar tissue & adhesions resulting from injury.
