​
Remedial therapy is an extension of remedial massage and involves the application of several physical skills helping to assist in alleviating bodily aches, pains, discomforts and physical limitations. It is a holistic system that treats the body as a whole and traces the discomfort back to its original source, healing both the cause of the illness as well as the symptoms.
As a remedial therapist Rayen aims to balance the length, tone, and tension of the muscles and tendons. This helps restore the correct position of the bones, increase blood and fluid flow, and help heal injuries.
​
Rayen will ask the patient about their health before performing different techniques tolocate and repair the damaged areas of the body. She will deeply penetrate and stimulate the muscles associated with the problem and may also perform stretches, acupressure and cupping on different parts of the body to help the client return to their optimum health.
​
Remedial therapy stimulates blood supply, makes joints more mobile, and helps repair damaged tissues. It also helps in easing and stabilising the muscles which can improve conditions such as headaches, abdominal pain, and low back pain.
