Remedial massage therapy is a popular treatment modality that focuses on removing muscle tension, trigger points and reducing musculoskeletal pain. It is generally considered part of complimentary or alternative medicine. Good remedial massage works extremely well in conjunction with chiropractic care as chiropractic adjustments will correct any misalignments in the joints of the spine, pelvis and extremity joints while remedial massage can focus on reducing muscle tension and tightness. The combination of chiropractic and massage can be extremely successful in reducing pain, improving range of motion and posture as well as improving joint and muscle tension.
