What is remedial massage?

Remedial massage is a holistic treatment that involves the use of different techniques in the treatment of muscular pain and dysfunction. Remedial massage is beneficial for the restoration and maintenance of the soft tissue structures of the body and can be helpful in treating specific areas of muscle tension. 
 
Benefits of remedial massage:

What is Swedish/relaxation massage?

Swedish massage is a system of long strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, percussion, vibration and shaking motions that apply pressure between muscles and bones, rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. Swedish Massage feels good, is relaxing and invigorating.

The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Some other benefits include shortening recovery time from muscular strain, increased circulation without increased heart load, stretching of ligaments and tendons, skin stimulation and soothing of the nervous system. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested as part of a regular program for stress management.
