How a Therapeutic Alignment Correction Massage Can Help Relieve Pain
Throughout life, we experience many aches and pains, several of which are caused by our own misunderstandings of the body and personal bad habits. For example, slouching, sitting in a desk chair all day, and not drinking enough water. Thankfully, there are a variety of massage techniques that can bring us back to a healthy state.
Therapeutic alignment correction brings balance back to the muscles. Poor posture results in the overuse of some muscles and the underuse of others. This can lead to musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. If not treated appropriately, you may experience a limited range of motion, chronic pain, headaches or migraines, stress, fatigue, lower back problems, neck and shoulder pain, tendinitis, or more.
Orthopedic massage targets the joints such as ankles, knees, hips, wrists, elbows, and shoulders. It is a results-driven (not relaxation-driven) massage technique that treats specific pain conditions and functional challenges. It works to restore range of motion and bring muscles back to their healthy resting length.

Fitting Orthotics
At Aback massage we can fit heat moulded orthotics to your specific size in minutes and they are transportable from shoe to shoe. Designed by NASA with the help of a Doctor of Orthotics and a Podiatrist, the material is a durable composite called Ethylene Vinyl Acetate. This is heat mouldable, machine washable and lasts for many years making the most of your investment at a fraction of the price of contemporary inserts.
Our arches are designed to walk on sand and soft earth and not concrete, bitumen, and tiles, etc. Modern surfaces cause our arches to overstretch and collapse leading to a painful condition called Plantar Fasciitis. These orthotics greatly reduce the incidence of Plantar Fasciitis and have the added bonus of helping to correct body alignment and preventing back pain.
