Description

Remedial massage is the practice of manipulating muscle and soft tissue in the body to regain balance within the tissues. This will improve the range of motion, reduce stress and ease pain to provide a cure for long term or short term discomfort. Massage therapy dates back thousands of years to ancient cultures who believed in the medical benefits of muscle manipulation, with the first records of such events found in China and Egypt in 2700 B.C.
