Benefits of Remedial or Therapeutic Massage
Remedial massage has a very valid role in helping people recover from injuries – whether they are sports, accident or surgically related.
The deep muscle massage that is part of remedial massage techniques stimulate deep muscle fibres, which helps speed the recovery from an injury by increasing circulation to the injured area and alleviating pain.
Recently the Australian Association of Massage Therapy analysed 740 academic papers on the effects of remedial massage therapy in assisting in the recovery of a range of conditions.
The report concluded that remedial massage had a ‘moderate to strong’ effect on improving conditions including that remedial massage could ease anxiety, help alleviate chronic pain, enhance lung function and reduce muscular soreness induced by exercise. The researchers also recommended using remedial massage because of its safety when used properly.
