Remedial Massage Sydney

The power of touch:
We may not often think about it, but the human sense of touch is the most powerful of all of our senses. Our sense of touch operates through the skin, which is larger and more sensitive than all of our other organs. The messages it receives are sent to a very large part of the brain that responds to tactile stimulation, and this area can even fill in for other senses, such as seeing and hearing if those senses are lost. Did you know that of all senses to develop in an embryo, the sense of touch develops first?

Instinctively, we know that these scientific facts are true, which is why we caress our children’s backs to help them fall asleep, hug the people we love, and soothe an injured spot by rubbing the area with our hands.

It’s no wonder then, that the sense of touch is the key to feeling an overall sense of health, vitality and wellness. According to the US News and World Report, "the caress of another person releases hormones that can ease pain and clear the mind".

How does all of this relate to Remedial massage? The word "Remedial" refers to something that is helpful in curing or restoring health. This type of therapeutic massage takes our sense of touch one step further, by applying specific techniques that assist with all sorts of various conditions and health concerns. Here are just a few examples:

Remedial massage for treating Arthritis of the knee:
According to a recent study in the Archives of Internal medicine of people who suffer from arthritis of the knee, sufferers gain lasting relief from receiving treatments that include therapeutic massage. Researchers report that adding remedial massage to traditional forms of treatment, such as anti-inflammatory drugs may complement their therapy or even take the place of medication for those whose condition is less severe. This study also provides an excellent alternative for those who can’t or who choose not to take prescription medications.

Why were these results surprising to researchers? Because arthritis is a disease that primarily attacks the joint tissues and bones. Yet, by using remedial massage techniques on the related tendons and muscles, skilled therapists are able to help relieve or even remedy the pain associated with arthritis. Massage treatments improve the circulation to the affected joint and it also sends calming stimuli to the brain that interfere with constant pain messages sent by arthritic tissues. By releasing tension in the area of the knee, regular massage treatments also loosen up the joint, encouraging the sufferer to be more active, which in turn, assists in pain reduction. The results of this study speak for themselves – after eight weeks of weekly or twice weekly treatment, patients showed less pain and joint stiffness and better knee function. At the end of the study, those who received remedial therapy were continuing to show the benefits of their treatments.
