By doing so, the masssge reduces pain, improves movement and supports the healing of damaged tissue.

Each remedial massage session includes a clinical physical assessment and tailored treatment plan for your recovery.

An exercise and stretching program may be given to maintain the effects of the massage and assist injury recovery where necessary.
