London Remedial Massage Therapy

Massage has been used clinically for many complaints, and even now is used widely to help with many conditions, whether musculo-skeletal, or systemic.While massage alone will never claim to cure these conditions, in practice often some symptoms can be alleviated.

London Remedial Massage Therapy for Musculoskeletal problems

Musculoskeletal problems can include acute injuries like strains and sprains, or creeping over-use injuries like tennis elbow and plantar fasciitis, and even related nervous conditions like Piriformis Syndrome . More general postural or muscle imbalances and compensation can arise from genetic predisposition or during injury rehabilitation

• Your London remedial massage therapist should be at least a qualified in First Aid, to ensure they do not further damage any recent injury.

So how can an experienced Remedial Massage Therapist in London help? Remedial massage therapy can assist with relaxation of muscles in spasm or contracture, and lengthen shortened muscles. Martin can also give advice on toning and strengthening inhibited and weak muscles. This sounds undramatic, but it is the root cause of most chronic Musculoskeletal problems.

Muscles in spasm are held there by nervous system firing, and London Remedial Massage Therapy can help normalise muscle tone. Contracture is where there is no nerve stimulation, but the muscle fibres are unable to unlock. Your London Remedial Massage Therapist will work with you to release the knotted up muscles.

After a while, the body responds to this Musculoskeletal problem to save wasted energy. It does this by shortening and thickening the fascia around the muscles, so this structural change takes the load. London Remedial Massage Therapy can use myofascial release to lengthen and normalise the fascia.

London Remedial Massage Therapy for Systemic Conditions

Systemic conditions like IBS, can affect the whole body, or specific organs.

London Remedial Massage Therapy can reduce Sympathetic firing of the Autonomic Nervous System, and reduce stress levels. Many people find this can raise the pain threshold and assist in daily living.

Sometimes musculoskeletal problems and systemic conditions are closely interlinked, for instance where a back problem can facilitate problems in the digestive system, or where stressed viscera can cause muscle imbalances. Your London Remedial Massage Therapist will work with you to help break the vicious circle and alleviate symptoms.

London Remedial Massage Therapy Contra-indications

If you have an existing medical condition, like diabetes, or Cerebral Palsy, it is important to check with an experienced Remedial Massage Therapist. He should work out a plan of action with you before doing any work.

• Some techniques may be inappropriate for you, while others may help alleviate symptoms.

London remedial massage therapy is no substitute, however, for visiting qualified medical people like physicians, osteopaths or physiotherapists. Your remedial massage therapist should be working under their direction if you are seeing a doctor. They should ask you some questions to check if remedial massage therapy is contra-indicated. A London Remedial Massage Therapist should know the limit of their expertise, and when in doubt to refer you on to other medical professionals.

With the increased pressure on the health service in London, a Remedial Massage therapist will occasionally be someone's first point of clinical contact.
