Remedial Massage Jindalee

  
Remedial is a treatment-based massage, that is focussed on relieving muscle pain and tension, and restoring function and movement. Before the first massage our therapists will discuss your symptoms and pain levels to identify any trouble areas, then tailor a treatment plan for specifically for you.

At Jindalee Massage we work with you to trace the discomfort or pain back to the original cause, and will use a variety of specialised techniques including those listed below, to support and speed up the body's own repair mechanisms. 

Conditions such as sciatica or chronic lower back pain, stiff necks, tension headaches, plantar fasciitis, shoulder restrictions, sports injuries and many more complaints can be eased with a remedial treatment. 

 Deep tissue massage uses firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles).  Deep tissue is very beneficial for chronic pain.

This technique works with the fascia, or connective tissue, that surrounds your muscles (myo  just means muscles!). Fascia is the a web of tissue that runs from the top of your head down to the bottom of your toes, and envelops the entire body. Myofascial release works with this tissue by applying gentle, slow sustained pressure to restricted areas, which allows the myofascia to soften, increases circulation and  reduces pain. 

Cupping is a technique that uses suctions cups to gently pull the soft tissue up, which  helps to improve movement and gliding of the tissues beneath the surface, decrease muscle tension and increase blood flow. 

 A trigger point is a tight, irritated area within muscle tissue that causes pain in that muscle and referred pain in other parts of the body. Trigger points can bee manually released by the therapist to bring about pain relief and improve muscle health. Our senior therapist Jamie uses dry needling to assist with trigger point release.

IASTM uses an instrument, usually stainless steel with a bevelled edge, as a myofascial intervention for soft tissue treatment. The instrument breaks down fascial restrictions and scar tissue. It is especially effective for injuries 

 During your massage, your therapist will usually use some passive stretching to improve the effects of the massage. Stretching will further help the muscles to lengthen, and then stay relaxed. Our therapists will also give you some relevant stretches to do at home to help make the benefits of your massage last longer, and to improve posture or muscular imbalances in the body. Stretching increases your circulation, and  is also a great way to boost energy!
