At Toowoomba Family Physio, we understand that not all injuries need surgeries or full-spectrum physiotherapy procedures. Sometimes, what a patient needs is a remedial massage that can ease their pain and get them on their feet again.
In simple words, remedial massage therapy is a holistic approach to treat softy tissues, muscles and tendons that have become knotted and tense due to overuse, injury or spasm.
The idea is to improve the blood flow and help alleviate the pain and treat the underlying cause. The most common example is the remedial massage a sportsperson is given before the performance.
Acrobats, gymnasts, boxers, athletes, and even dancers put their body to test and exert themselves, sometimes too much. Remedial massage therapy, if given within a good time window followed by proper rest can keep need of surgery at bay. Remedial massage therapy is not only an efficient addition to a rehabilitation program, but also an effective preventive measure.
Remedial massage therapy is effective in many scenarios that include, but are not limited to:
- Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)
- Back Pain
- Neck Pain
- Frozen Shoulder
- Sciatica
- Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow
- Muscular Cramps
- Spasms
- Arthritis
- And many more.
Remedial massage therapy, say physios at Toowoomba Family Physio, not only works on physical level, but also on hormonal level. Whenever we experience pain and/or stress, our body starts secreting cortisol. Remedial massage therapy helps in keeping cortisol level in check while improving serotonin and dopamine levels, the two hormones that help in relaxing, uplifting the mood and alleviating pain.
