5 Conditions Remedial Massage Can Treat.

1. Posture imbalances like Lower & Upper Cross Syndrome.

   If you’ve ever felt back or neck pain, you’ll know how hard it is to go about everyday activities while it lingers around and causes you to change your lifestyle as each day of pain goes on. Sometimes this pain is actually caused by a syndrome in that area. Lower back pain can be a result of tight hip flexors and quadriceps which don’t allow the pelvis to stay in a neutral position. Or your midback and neck struggling to move as a result of your tight chest. Lower and Upper Cross syndrome simply refer to the pattern of muscular tension. These are very common and completely treatable via remedial massage!

2. Knee Knock or ‘Valgum’ while walking

   Have you ever seen people that seem to hit their knees together when they walk ? Perhaps you feel your thighs touching during your stride? This is known as Knee Knock and it is a result of your hips being out of alignment and far too tight. What’s happening is that your legs are rotated inward at the hip and this causes contact to happen at the knees. This issue will actually wear down your ankle, knee and hip joints much faster than normal because of the way they are holding weight. It’s important to get a Remedial Massage to loosen off the tension in your hips and start building some opposing strength to prevent knee knock from occuring.

3. Sciatic Pain caused by hip tension

   True Sciatica cannot be treated fully by Remedial Massage but!!! Quite often sciatic pain is confused with trigger points in the glutes. If your glute is over tense it could very well be compressing the sciatic nerve but it is more than likely just riddled with overtension which is then travelling in the glute itself and radiating down the leg. If you get a Remedial Massage, your glute tension will be obliterated! No more Sciatic pains.

4. Frozen Shoulder

   Ah, to be young again. You’ll hear many people complain of Frozen Shoulder thinking that it’s a normal part of aging or to be expected as your joints wear and tear, but this simply isn’t true. Quite often Frozen Shoulder is actually just what occurs after a very very prolonged period of immobility at the shoulder…which in itself is caused by various shoulder muscles being extremely tight. Remedial Massage is able to soften and ease these muscles (Quite tenderly might I add) but it is able to greatly reduce the pains and tensions of Frozen Shoulder. This will definitely give you much more movement and strength back.

5. Poor joint range of motion

   Arthritis will come for us all, but how soon that it knocks on your front door will really depend on how strong and mobile your joints are. The number one thing that will wear your body down is immobility. It’s the old story of chicken and the egg. Did your arthritis make you immobile or did your immobility result in arthritis. I have seen first hand what happens when you live with immobility. The good thing about Remedial massage is, it is extremely effective at loosening tension around joints and providing them with the support they need to function at their best.
