REMEDIAL MASSAGE
Remedial Massage at Body Lab
Myotherapy and remedial massage are highly effective for addressing soft tissue tension abnormalities that can lead to dysfunctional movement patterns. At Body Lab, our approach focuses on identifying and correcting these issues to support recovery, prevent ongoing pain, and reduce the risk of future injuries. Our skilled myotherapists tailor treatments to each individual, combining hands-on techniques with movement and exercise strategies to restore optimal function.
Remedial massage is a targeted, hands-on treatment that helps relieve pain, tightness, and movement restrictions. Our therapists use techniques such as deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release to address the root cause of your discomfort.
It’s ideal for anyone experiencing ongoing muscle tension, gym or sport-related soreness, or day-to-day aches that keep returning.
