Best Remedial Massages near me in Opmeer-Zuid, Rural North Holland

A remedial massage is sometimes referred to as a medical massage; it is a therapeutic, goal-focused massage used to treat a range of conditions including long-term, and chronic pain and illness, muscle tension, depression and anxiety, sleep deprivation and stress. The masseuse will apply pressure to particularly problematic points to trigger the body’s self-healing process, increase blood and lymph circulation, and promote relaxation.

The end goal of a regular massage is relaxation; a remedial massage, on the other hand, aims to reduce pain and relax the body. Different techniques are employed to achieve these goals.

It’s likely to be uncomfortable in places, but unlike a sports massage, any discomfort you feel won’t last long.

A remedial massage applies pressure to the muscles, temporarily increasing inflammation as it pushes the body into self-healing mode. You may experience varying degrees of soreness as your soft tissues help break down knots and relax your muscles.

You should allow 24-48 hours for your muscles to repair and the benefit of your massage to take full effect. It’s normal for your muscles to still feel tight during this period of recovery, so give yourself this time to rest.
