Used to treat muscles that are tight and cause great pain.

For most people that have been in an accident, sometimes the pain caused in parts of their body takes years to disappear. Some individuals assume that there is nothing that can be done about their situation, and they choose to leave with the pain. If you are a victim or know someone that’s suffering because of chronic pain, let them know that they do not have to live with the pain. With remedial massage, contracted muscles and chronically tight muscles are relieved, which goes a long way in alleviating the pain in chronic injuries. With the reduced pain, it even becomes easier for the injuries to completely heal because of the newly created flow of chi in the body.
It is important to note that even though stress is a mental condition, it has a significant impact on muscles in the body.

Therefore, with a remedial massage in Wollongong central or in Sutherland, you are assured of a stress-free mind which results in your entire body feeling relaxed.

a) When is the best time to go for remedial massage?
For chronic issues, remedial massage can be applied at any time one is able and wanting it. Its recommended that one have the sessions routinely to maximize the benefits obtained from the massage.
On the other side, if the massage is supposed to remedy recently obtained injuries, it should be performed ideally within 72 hours, and this should be after the injured part has been ice-treated to reduce inflammation.
b) How often should you go for remedial massage sessions?
For newly sustained injuries, a few sessions will work just fine. However, for those chronic conditions, they require several sessions for a long period for the injured part to recover fully. The frequency of the massage therapy should be a little bit higher at the beginning and then gradually reduced as you begin to feel better.
Your lifestyle also greatly affects how often you can have your massage sessions. If you are usually held up with work, you may opt for sessions during the weekend but if you have more free time, twice a week will do just fine.
