Remedial massage uses hands-on techniques directed at soft tissues such as muscles and tendons. The appropriate approach depends on your symptoms, health history, goals and the clinician’s scope of practice.
What is remedial massage?
Remedial massage generally uses manual techniques to address soft-tissue tension, discomfort or movement-related concerns. Your provider should discuss the purpose of treatment and how it fits with other care.
What concerns do people ask about?
People may ask about massage in relation to muscle soreness, back or neck discomfort, shoulder stiffness or recovery after activity. These symptoms can have several causes, and massage is not suitable for every presentation.
Choose care that fits your situation
Discuss recent injuries, medical conditions, medications, skin concerns and your comfort preferences before treatment. Seek medical advice for unexplained or severe symptoms rather than relying on massage alone.
