The pressure applied in this healing treatment can either be strong and deep or gentle and shallow, depending on the problem. Problems with the muscles can trigger or radiate pain to other parts of the body. Remedial massage aims to trace the original reason for the pain, tackling both the cause of the problem and the symptoms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe806412c235a341204877a/1609209480733-7M5WBZ27UP379LPL2D8K/image-asset.jpeg Treatments - Sports Massage Sports massage is specifically tailored to different sports and sporting injuries.

It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue. It may also promote faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe806412c235a341204877a/1609210106619-IMH29JOXQHKIVH20KGM3/Screen+Shot+2020-12-29+at+12.48.05+pm.png Treatments - Lymphatic Drainage Your lymphatic system helps eliminate your body’s waste. A healthy, active lymphatic system uses the natural movements of smooth muscle tissue to do this. However, surgery, medical conditions, or other damage can cause fluids to build up in your lymph system and your lymph nodes, a condition known as lymphedema. Lymphatic massage is not recommended for people with the following conditions: congestive heart failure history of blood clots or stroke current infection liver problems kidney problems https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe806412c235a341204877a/1609210380227-55G34WW9U5CR9YUVIZCG/Screen+Shot+2020-12-29+at+12.50.41+pm.png Treatments - Pregnancy Massage Prenatal massage is therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of pregnancy.
