Remedial massage  is a complementary therapy which aims to treat muscles that are damaged, knotted, tense or immobile. So it is useful for a number of problems that affect our muscles, tendons and bones.

One of the immediate benefits of massage is a feeling of deep relaxation and calm. This occurs because massage prompts the release of endorphins – the brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that produce feelings of wellbeing.

Levels of stress hormones, such as adrenalin, cortisol and norepinephrine, are also reduced.   We now know through many studies  that high levels of stress hormones impair our immune system.

Some of the physical benefits of massage may include:

• reduced muscle tension
• improved circulation
• stimulation of the lymphatic system
• reduction of stress hormones
• relaxation
• increased joint mobility and flexibility
• improved skin tone
• improved recovery of soft tissue injuries
• heightened mental alertness
• reduced anxiety and depression
