Remedial Massage for Mulberry Green Residents

Remedial massage is priced the same as deep tissue and sports massage, from £45 for 30 minutes up to £80 for 90 minutes. A one-hour session at £60 is the most popular choice for a full assessment-led treatment, and a course of six 1 hour sessions is available for £300, saving £60. Payment is accepted by cash, bank transfer, and card.

Remedial massage starts with an assessment to find the cause, then combines techniques, whereas deep tissue massage applies one method more broadly. Deep tissue massage is a single, broad technique of slow, firm pressure. Remedial massage begins with an assessment to establish what is actually causing your symptoms, then draws on several techniques, deep tissue, trigger point work, myofascial release and stretching, to address that specific cause.

Fiona practises from The Manor Health and Wellness Centre at 11 Manor Road, Colchester CO3 3LX. The clinic is easily accessible with good transport links and parking nearby, making it a straightforward journey from Mulberry Green and the surrounding Essex area. Fiona welcomes clients travelling in from towns and villages across the wider Colchester area.

Many tension headaches originate in tight neck and shoulder muscles, and remedial massage directly targets this. By releasing tightness in the upper trapezius, neck and base of the skull, and addressing any postural habits contributing to the tension, remedial massage can reduce both the frequency and intensity of tension-type headaches for many clients.

This varies by condition, but many clients see meaningful change within a course of four to six sessions. For chronic or long-standing issues, Fiona typically recommends fortnightly sessions initially, moving to monthly maintenance once things improve. The course of six sessions at a discounted rate suits clients committing to a proper course of treatment.

Myofascial release targets the connective tissue, or fascia, surrounding your muscles, which can become restricted and contribute to pain. Fascia can tighten and restrict movement in ways ordinary muscle work does not fully address. Including myofascial release alongside deep tissue and trigger point work gives remedial massage a broader reach than a single technique alone.

Remedial massage is assessment-led treatment that identifies the specific cause of your pain before combining techniques to address it. Fiona combines deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, myofascial release and targeted stretching, tailoring the mix to what she finds during her assessment rather than following one fixed method. This makes it particularly effective for stubborn or long-standing issues.
