Tennis Elbow, Repetitive Strain Injury, Achilles Tendonitis, Runner Knee, Headaches and Frozen Shoulder are just a few of the conditions that can be treated with Remedial Massage. Clients who have suffered in pain for years, with little response from traditional forms of medical treatment have found their condition has greatly improved with just a short course of massage treatments. Remedial Massage is also highly effective when used in conjunction with other forms of treatment, such as physiotherapy or sports therapy. It complements the work done by the rehabilitation therapist and can greatly improve the speed of recovery, reducing overall treatment time.
