What is Massage?

iGo Physio is delighted to introduce a Remedial massage and complementary health service to its North London Clinic. Remedial massage used independently or in conjunction with physio therapy is there to support and assist the rehabilitation and recovery of those illnesses or injuries as a result of stress, strain and chronic conditions or as a tool to assist those in training for sporting events or practices. Remedial massage focuses on the manipulation of soft and deep tissue release, with special focus on lengthening and strengthening the muscles fibres to increase elasticity in the muscle groups, remove the build up of lactic acid and other toxins and to overall increase the range of movement and flexibility not only in the muscle but also in the supporting ligaments, tendons and joints. Treatment after an initial consultation would include a variety of techniques, including trigger pointing, passive stretching, with special focus on realigning the skeletal system.

For those who may be interested in something a little more gentle or relaxing, treatment can be tailored to work primarily on soft tissue release to induce a state of relaxation this can be combined with the use of Aromatherapy oils to treat a series of stress related ailments or illnesses.
