Remedial Massage Sheffield | Sports Massage Sheffield | Therapeutic Massage Sheffield

 

Remedial massage aims to improve muscle, ligament and tendon function by allowing these soft tissues to move freely. 

 

In cases of injury, or chronic muscle tension caused by disease or disorder, painful adhesions in muscle connective tissue builds up preventing movement. Muscles that are not able to function properly can also block circulation and cause inflammation through a build up of toxins. 

 

During a session pressure and friction is applied across and along the muscle fibres, working to break down adhesions in the connective tissue and restore range of movement. The release of muscle tension improves circulation, reduces stress and aids pain relief. Passive and assisted stretching is also used. These techniques correct the body's structure, ease restricted movement and re-establish normal circulation.
