Remedial massage is a therapeutic type of massage provided by qualified and trained therapists who understand the musculoskeletal system, common injuries, and patterns of pain and tension in the body.

It is designed to assess and target specific areas of concern, helping to relieve muscle tightness, support recovery from injury, and improve overall movement and function.

At Ma Saj, we also recognise the connection between the mind and body. Alongside targeted treatment work, your session may include more restorative, full-body massage techniques to support relaxation and a deeper therapeutic response, depending on what your body needs on the day.

Remedial massage can work into areas of tightness, tension, or injury, which may feel tender at times. However, it should not be painful unless that is your preference.

Your therapist will check in with you throughout your treatment, and you’re always welcome to ask for lighter or deeper pressure at any time so your massage feels right for your body.
