Remedial Massage

Edina uses targeted, tissue-led techniques to address pain, muscle tension and restricted movement, including issues associated with posture, prolonged sitting and desk work, injuries, hormonal changes and stress. Treatment is individualised and ranges from gentler myofascial techniques through to deep remedial work, depending on your needs and suitability.

It may be particularly relevant for people seeking support with fluid retention, overall lymphatic health and immune function.

• Fibrotic tissue and adhesions
• Circulation-related concerns
• Muscular or fascial tension

Treatment is always individualised, with techniques adapted to your presentation and suitability.
