Verified listingWhat is remedial massage?
Remedial massage sits at the clinical end of the directory. It begins with an assessment: the therapist takes a history, looks at posture and movement, and tests the affected area before deciding what to treat and how. The treatment itself draws on deep tissue, trigger point work, myofascial release, stretching and joint mobilisation, chosen for the problem in front of them.
It is for a specific, named complaint — a frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, recurring lower back pain, whiplash recovery — rather than for general relaxation, and it usually comes with advice on stretching, posture or exercise to do between sessions.
Remedial therapists often work in clinics alongside physiotherapists and osteopaths, and hold Level 4 or 5 qualifications. Sessions are 45 to 60 minutes and a course of four to six is typical for an established problem. Some private health insurers will contribute towards remedial massage from a registered therapist.

Where to find it in Edinburgh
New Town holds most of it, in Georgian flats and clinics around Dundas Street and Broughton, with a strong showing of remedial and therapeutic work. Stockbridge is quieter and almost entirely daytime; Leith has grown with the waterfront regeneration and offers the widest spread of rates and treatments, including Thai and Ayurvedic studios. The Old Town has little incall for the simple reason that almost none of it is residential, so hotel guests there rely on mobile therapists.
