Our body gives us many warning signs it is in desperate need of healing, but as we think we are young and we can bear it, we ignore these signs. But that is the biggest mistake we make, we think we are invincible and nothing can affect us. It is only when we fall ill or suffer pain that we realise we are human and we need to relax and take a break. There are many treatments you can indulge in and a Remedial Therapy is one of them. Let’s understand this a little better.
What is Remedial Therapy?
Remedial Therapy or Massage uses different techniques, including massages to take care of problems in the soft tissues in our body. There are muscle, ligament and tendon problems that can be addressed through remedial therapy. This treatment dramatically reduces the pain associated with these ailments and helps the body start its natural healing process by way of increased blood circulation and relaxed mind. In everyday life we face stress from work, family, home life and personal problems. This ends up taking a toll on your mind and body. Remedial therapy helps you get rid of this tension and it is also helpful for injuries obtained through sports or leisure. Ligament tear and muscle pull can be cured with remedial therapy/massage, but, of course, this must be in accordance with your physiotherapist.
Some areas in which Remedial Therapy is effective
• Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
• Back and Neck Pain

Remedial Therapy is a very effective form of therapy, as it is relaxing and helps cure many ailments. It also reduces the risk of fibrosis and adhesions in muscle and fascia. It reduces muscle tension and relaxes the body. If you are suffering from cramps or spasms after an injury, then these can be cured with therapy, too. Remedial massage increases the blood circulation in the body, thus causing improved healing of the afflicted area. Patients of Repetitive Strain Syndrome also benefit from this therapy.

Some points to remember
• Please consult a doctor or your physiotherapist before undergoing a massage or treatment. This is especially important if you are suffering from an injury. Therapists know what they are doing, but it is better to be sure.
• Please inform your therapist about any medical condition you might have prior to the treatment. They will ask you in any case, but please be honest as you would not want any problems to occur.
• You will be asked to undress, so be prepared for that. Most therapists ask you to leave your underwear on, but there are some therapies in which you will be covered in nothing but a towel.
• Your ailments will not disappear in one sitting. Please consult with your therapist to get a detailed programme and just relax and enjoy!
• These treatments are non-pain treatments, but initially there can be some pain and discomfort as your body takes time to get used to such treatments. Later on you won’t feel pain. Of course, this also depends upon the pressure applied by the therapist. Don’t think twice before letting your therapist know if you are uncomfortable.
