Remedial Massage Therapy East London

What Are The Benefits Of Massage Therapy?: Remedial Massage therapy uses touch to work with your body in a respectful way that takes into account your physical well-being, symptoms and lifestyle. There are many styles of massage therapy techniques that can help with a huge range of therapy issues we deal with, and massage can be used as a complementary therapy or for its own rewards.

Massage therapists usually train in a variety of techniques in order to work with the specifics of your body and your needs. They most commonly use their own body to apply pressure to your muscles and soft tissue, gently in some cases and much harder in others.

Most remedial massage styles are innately more ‘gentle’ or ‘firm’, but generally, massage therapists will ask you about the pressure that you prefer as well. Massage therapy is known to be one of the oldest healing arts, according to Chinese records, with evidence dating back over 3,000 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Remedial Massage Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.
