About Sports & Remedial Massage.

Remedial and sports massage therapy addresses restrictions in the soft tissues of the body, correcting muscle imbalances which cause pain and dysfunction.

A treatment at Sydney Essential Health may include postural analysis to establish whether there is any muscle shortness or weakness, and the therapist will work to correct these imbalances with hands on techniques combined with stretching and recommendations.
