Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is a type of massage therapy that aims to treat and prevent musculoskeletal problems, such as pain, stiffness, injury, and dysfunction. Remedial massage therapists use a range of techniques to assess, analyse, treat, and manage the underlying causes and symptoms of these issues. Remedial massage can also improve your overall health and wellbeing by reducing stress, enhancing immunity, correcting posture, increasing mobility, and improving sleep and concentration.
Some of the most common techniques used in remedial massage are deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy. These techniques are explained below, along with their benefits.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a technique that targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue (fascia) in the body. It uses firm and slow strokes, as well as pressure from the thumbs, knuckles, or elbows, to break up adhesions (knots) and release tension. Deep tissue massage can help with:
Improving limited mobility and flexibility
Correcting postural problems and alignment
Breaking up scar tissue and speeding up healing
Easing lower back pain and sciatica
Enhancing athletic performance and recovery
Assisting with injury rehabilitation and prevention
Easing chronic muscle pain and inflammation
Improving repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow
Relieving headaches and migraines
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy is a technique that focuses on specific points in the muscles that are hypersensitive and cause pain or discomfort in other areas of the body. These points are called trigger points, and they can be activated by various factors, such as stress, infection, injury, or overuse. Trigger point therapy involves applying cycles of pressure and release to the trigger points, which helps to deactivate them and restore normal function. Trigger point therapy can help with:
Easing shoulder, neck, knee, and lower back pain
Relieving headaches and migraines
Reducing joint and muscle pain and stiffness
Easing sciatica pain and numbness
Improving carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow
Assisting with dance and sports-related injuries
Reducing stress and fatigue
Improving blood circulation and oxygen delivery

Game Ready Recovery System
Game Ready is a comprehensive and innovative recovery solution that can help you heal faster and better after injuries, surgeries, and intense physical activities. Game Ready combines active cold and compression therapies with heat and contrast therapies to deliver optimal outcomes for various conditions and situations.
What is Game Ready?
Game Ready is a recovery system that consists of a control unit and a range of wraps. The control unit allows a therapist to choose the most effective treatment protocol utilising cold, heat, contrast, and compression. The wraps are designed to fit snugly and comfortably around different body parts, such as the knee, shoulder, ankle, back, hip, elbow, wrist, and hand.
How Does Game Ready Work?
Game Ready works by delivering controlled and adjustable therapies to the affected area of your body. Depending on the mode of therapy used, the control unit pumps cold or hot water through the wrap, which also applies intermittent pneumatic compression. The wrap conforms to your body shape and provides circumferential coverage for maximum contact and comfort.
The combination of cold and compression therapies can help reduce pain, swelling, inflammation, and opioid consumption, as well as stimulate natural tissue healing and improve physiotherapy outcomes. The addition of heat and contrast therapies can help increase blood flow, oxygen delivery, and metabolic waste removal, as well as enhance muscle relaxation and recovery.
Game Ready helps accelerate the recovery of different types of injuries and surgeries, such as ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, ankle sprain, and total knee replacement.

Game Ready can help you with various conditions and situations, such as:
Acute injuries, such as sprains, strains, and bruises
Chronic conditions, such as arthritis, tendinitis, and bursitis
