Massage Therapy in Ponsonby
Massage for Injuries, Relaxation and Wellness
Remedial massage is a form of massage used to assess and address dysfunctions from injury or long-term imbalances stemming from old injuries. It can also be used for patients who have general muscle soreness from over-exertion.
There is a wide range of techniques used by the massage therapist to get the desired therapeutic result and manipulate your soft tissues. It has the ability to reach both deep and superficial tissues, reducing pain and relaxing the area of focus.
When used in complement to chiropractic, patients may find their adjustments “hold” for longer because the soft tissues and muscles are more pliable following massage. Massage also has a tremendous mental health benefit, as it stimulates the flow of positive responses throughout the nervous system.
