Relieve Chronic Pain & Restore Movement

Functional Massage is a specialised therapy designed to identify and address the root causes of chronic pain. Unlike general massage, this approach combines thorough assessment, targeted hands-on treatment, and functional movement corrections to restore muscle balance, reduce tension, and improve mobility.

Whether your pain stems from postural strain, repetitive movement, injury, or long-standing muscular imbalances, Functional Massage works to relieve discomfort and help your body function more effectively in daily life.

How Functional Massage Helps

1. Thorough Functional Assessment

Before any treatment, a detailed assessment is performed:

• Posture and movement analysis. 
• Joint range-of-motion testing. 
• Muscle activation and imbalance screening.
• Identification of compensatory movement patterns.
• This ensures your treatment addresses the underlying causes of pain, not just the symptoms.

2. Targeted Hands-On Therapy

Treatment may include:

• Deep tissue massage. 
• Myofascial release. 
• Trigger point therapy. 
• Muscle energy techniques. 
• Joint mobilisation and stretching.
   

These techniques help release tension, restore muscle function, and reduce chronic pain.

3. Movement Integration & Corrective Exercises

To support long-term relief, your session may include:

• Strengthening and activation exercises. 
• Mobility and stretching routines. 
• Neuromuscular retraining.
   

This approach helps prevent recurring pain and promotes sustainable functional movement. But saying this, everyone is different and also depends on what injury you have, but it will help to reduce the pain with Ray has had lots of good results.
