If you have particular muscle tension or chronic pain a remedial massage may be for you. Your remedial massage therapist will assess where you need treatment and what may be causing your pain. They’ll perform some tests to see exactly which muscles are giving you trouble and will tailor a treatment plan to suit. The treatment itself may involve deep tissue work for short periods of time, but the results are definitely worth it! Conditions such as sciatica, carpal tunnel, stiff necks, headaches, sports injuries and many more complaints can be eased with a remedial treatment.

This form of massage is used to: increase endurance, improve performance, reduce the chance of injury, reduce recovery time after a sports event or injury.

Side lying Massage therapy for pregnancy helps to reduce anxiety, improve mood, promote sleep, decrease back pain, decrease leg pain, and reduce depression in pregnant women. Most of the treatment is done while the client is lying on their left side, as it helps blood travel from the heart to the placenta and prevents the enlarged and heavy uterus from putting pressure on the liver.

This service is unique to Mind to Muscle Remedial Massage. It involves an area of the body to be cupped, while your therapist treats another area while they wait for the cups to work.

Cupping helps to stretch fascia which can tighten up and compress these systems. Taking pressure off the nervous system reduces pain, taking pressure off your circulatory system increase blood flow and recovery, taking pressure off your lymphatic system helps to flush out any inflammation.
