Remedial Massage
If your muscles are tense, knotted or damaged in any way, treatment from one of our professional massage therapists could be the answer.
At Lakeview Clinic, our remedial massage can be anything from gentle to strong and deep to shallow depending on what your body requires for optimum healing. The goal of this technique is to both assess the issue to identify the biomechanical dysfunction and address the symptoms with deliberate movements of the muscles, joints and tendons.
Therapeutic massage takes a holistic approach to recovery and aims to complement the natural healing processes of the body. During the session, we use a lubricant such as oil or lotion to improve the effectiveness of the remedial treatment while applying passive stretching on the joints.
