DEEP TISSUE VS. REMEDIAL MASSAGE

While often mistaken for deep tissue massage, remedial massage is intended as a more targeted treatment for pain and injury. Therapists that employ remedial massage are required to study for longer than many of their colleagues and must thoroughly understand the way the body works and the tissues that they are treating.

Book in with our massage therapist.

UPPER BACK STRAIN 😖

We see this injury quite often:
- gardening 🌼
- raquet sports 🎾
- golf 🏌️
- hockey 🏑
- water polo 🤽
- swimming / paddling 🏊
- cricket / pitching 🏏
- yoga 🤸
- weight lifting 🏋️
- rock climbing 🏔️

It can literally take your breath away! Quite often the upper back muscles spasm to protect the injured area and can make a deep breath quite painful. Fortunately the muscles respond well initially to manual therapy and then a progressive exercise rehab program.

MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURIES 😣

To effectively prevent and treat clients with musculoskeletal conditions such as chronic neck and back pain it is very important to have an active rehab component. Too often we see clients who have become reliant on passive treatment i.e. heat, massage, needling and pain medication which does not alter muscle strength and endurance. Suitable and progressive exercise is the answer to long term benefits.

Get in touch to add some active rehab to your back and neck care plan:
