Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is our most popular massage type. It provides relief from the aches, pains and injuries that we all experience from time to time. While also being very relaxing.

Remedial massage is a varied therapy. This means that it combines several techniques. Such as what we typically think of as a massage coupled with a targeted focus on areas of restricted mobility or pain.

In keeping with this being a varied massage, your massage can be firm or gentle, shallow or deep, or a combination. These aspects of the massage are determined based on your preferences. As well as what issues you are seeking to alleviate. If you are not sure about what you would prefer, you can discuss with your therapist on the day.

What can be treated?

The nature of remedial massage means that aside from helping you relax. It also helps stimulate blood supply to joints and muscles. While the relaxation benefit of the massage helps to relieve stress, in turn, provides a benefit to your nervous system.

A remedial massage may help address:

Migraines and headaches
General stress
Neck and back pain
General aches and pains
Stiffness & pain associated with bad posture
Muscle pain and tightness
Stress/tension related physical discomfort
Acute and chronic stiff and painful neck
Arthritis / multiple sclerosis

Note: if you are experiencing an unfamiliar pain it is always best to first visit a GP.

Kulwadee Kerdchai

I had a fabulous experience. Mikael’s remedial massage was epic! blissfully painful and therapeutic in all the right places. He intuitively knew what my poor body desperately needed. From the moment I walked in until I left, the treatment was spot-on, highly professional, and thoughtfully delivered. I will be back for sure.

Response from the owner:Thanks kulwadee for your review. We are so happy you enjoyed your treatment with Mikael. He is the absolute professional in the craft of remedial massage and we are wrapped to see your review reflects our thoughts also. Thanks again 🙌

The amazing Katie worked her magic again today. Seriously the best masseuse going around. Katie knows the right balance of remedial and relaxation massage that ticked every box today. I haven’t felt so good in years
Katie will get to know your needs and exceed expectations every visit. I’m already looking forward to when I can get back for another “me day”

Response from the owner:Thank you Camille for this glowing review! We agree, Katie is one of a kind and an incredibly talented remedial massage therapist. We are very lucky to have her here at Body Balance and hope you get another self-care day very soon!

Elise Tardieu

Katie is FANTASTIC!
I’ve had lower back pain for years. The last remedial masseur I went to see had made no difference to my back pain. Recently the pain was getting worse, making getting out of bed painful and not being able to bend down properly. After my appointment with Katie I had no more back pain . It’s been 4 days and my back feels fine, I get out of bed and bend down with ease. Katie is highly professional and very knowledgeable in her field of work. She’s also very personable, fun and friendly. I’m definitely booking more appointments in the future!

Response from the owner:Hi Elise, thank you for is glowing review! Katie is a star and we are very glad to hear that she has managed to effectively ease your back pain. We look forward to seeing you again in the future 🙂

Gabriela B

I have seen Katie several times for back pain, headaches, and plantar fasciitis, and she has been fantastic every single time. I have been to many therapists in the past and had come to associate remedial massage with discomfort, often putting it off until the last possible moment. Katie completely changed that for me, she has a rare ability to ease pain effectively while still making the massage comfortable and enjoyable. She is incredibly skilled and caring, and always adapts to your needs. I feel so very grateful to have found her and honestly think she is absolutely awesome!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this glowing review Gabriela! We think Katie is awesome too and we are delighted to hear that you have had many positive experiences during your remedial massage treatments with her too. We look forward to seeing you at the studio again very soon 🙂

Geoffrey Francis

For remedial massage to be effective requires that the massage therapist is able to tune their work finely to suit the client's individual needs and circumstances. I am pleased to say that over several weeks now Mikael has been able to do this to perfection.

I suffer from severe sciatica and remedial massage is the only way I have found of snatching a few days relief from the intense and often crippling pain. Thank you so much for what is an experience that makes so much difference to my quality of life.

Response from the owner:Hi Geoffrey, thank you so much for this outstanding review! We agree, Mikael is a real expert at his craft and we are delighted to hear that he has been able to support you profoundly to feel better in your body. We look forward to seeing you again at the studio very soon.
