Assessment, prior to any physical application of MCT techniques, commences at the first moment of contact with initial observations of posture, mobility, physique, morale, expression indicators and data gathered from the client  or other sources on the reason for the visit.

Physical techniques include:

• sequentially applied mechanical oscillation
• deep muscle fibre manipulation and separation
• coordinative muscular exercising
• preventive/rehabilitative movement exercises
• after care – between/after treatment stretching/strengthening
• informative self-awareness and risk support.

Alternate techniques to those selected for the initial consultation, or the same techniques applied with varying intensity or in differing order, may be used in follow-up treatments to achieve optimal outcomes.

Similar initial information gathering processes and observations are used to review client progress at future treatments or other contact opportunities.

Recommendations for future treatment regimes are tailored to suit individual circumstances and demonstrated progress on a case-by-case basis.

Remedial massage is a deep massage done by skilled hands to create the conditions for the body’s return to optimal health after injury. It is used to treat strains, sprains, broken bones, bruising, any injury where the skin is intact. Deep tissue massage removes blockages, damaged cells, scar tissue and adhesions left after injury, speeds up recovery and encourages more complete healing. Remedial Massage is also used for conditions created by lifestyle for example Repetitive Strain Injury and Back Pain.

The techniques used are designed to increase the flow of blood and lymph around the body, particularly in the injured areas. This enables the body to heal.

It is often successful where other forms of treatment have failed.

The therapist needs an excellent knowledge of anatomy and physiology to determine where to treat each patient. The attachments of each tendon are quite specific and full recovery only results from accurate assessment and treatment.

During treatment there is tenderness in areas that are being treated, it indicates which muscles and tendons are injured. The therapist uses the patient’s feedback to pinpoint the damaged tissue and to regulate pressure. The results are usually immediate; certainly within 3 sessions a big improvement will be seen with a skilful practitioner. Most patients feel a difference after 1 session. A recent injury, perhaps within weeks, will react and recover more quickly than a long-term injury, some up to 40 years. However they will all see improvement.

With many years’ experience the practitioner gains a clear understanding of treating sports and traumatic injuries. They will work with patients while they increase their activity levels back to normal once again. It is remarkable in that patients find themselves spontaneously being able to do things they thought that they couldn’t.

Remedial Massage has particular success with long-standing back and compound injuries that have resisted previous treatment attempts. Once a serious injury is properly healed, further treatment is only needed if another injury is sustained. Sportsmen and women attend regularly to ensure that unnoticeably small injuries are treated before they reduce performance and become debilitating. Recurrent injuries are injuries that have never been effectively treated.

Some common conditions that can be successfully treated are:

• Achilles Injuries • Tendinitis • Shin Splints • Groin Strain • Cartilage damage • Tennis Elbow • Frozen Shoulder • Hamstring Injuries • Plantar Fasciitis • Scar tissue • Adhesions • Whiplash • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Repetitive Strain Injury

It is an unusual form of massage in that it does not set out to relax the patient, the intention is more to fix a mechanical problem. However all-round health improvement is seen: better sleep, increase in vitality and performance levels, as well as increased mobility.

It can also be used to treat general muscle soreness from over exertion.

Muscular Corrective Therapy (MCT) focuses on identifying muscle, tendon and ligament pain that restricts movement in the body.  Releasing this pain restores tone and function to the body encouraging a pain reduction and management plan and an active lifestyle.
