Therapeutic Massage uses corrective techniques for rehabilitation, pain relief, improved muscle function and mobility. Therapeutic Massage differs from some other forms of massage in its focus on pain relief.

What Is Therapeutic Massage?
As the name suggests, Therapeutic Massage is a corrective massage technique, with a focus on ‘remedying’ a condition, such as pain, limited muscle function or mobility.
Various techniques are employed, depending on the condition to be treated and the individual tolerances and preferences of the client. When muscles and tendons become damaged or impaired, knotted and tense or immobile, Therapeutic Massage provides a healing treatment that can be gentle or strong, deep or shallow.
Therapeutic massage holistically treats the whole body and traces the discomfort as far as possible back to the original cause, healing both the cause of the disorder as well as the symptoms.
The aim throughout is to support the body’s own healing and repair mechanisms. It uses several specialised techniques to locate and repair damage and to support and speed up the body’s own repair mechanisms.
The massage is applied directly to the skin using a lubricating medium, usually oil, which ensures that the muscles associated with the disorder and mobilisation of the joint are deeply penetrated. Passive stretching moves can also be used.
