Remedial massage is typically used in the treatment of specific injuries, which may have been caused through work, an accident or a sporting activity, such as a strain or sprain. Treatment of the injury usually involves a mix of deep and superficial massage strokes and the techniques are aimed at relieving symptoms, pain and restoring normal muscle and soft tissue function.

Virtually anybody can benefit from remedial massage including office workers with neck pain, lower back pain or other associated work related pain. Sports people are often treated using remedial massage techniques in both a pre and post event/activity context and between events as a means of injury prevention. In the case of sport, remedial massage techniques are frequently used in conjunction with sports massage techniques and treatments, as a means of keeping athletes in peak condition.

Remedial massage tends to be more targeted than holistic massage, with some practitioners choosing just to work purely on the patient's problem area. Terry takes an holistic view and treats the whole body, as a problem in one area often results in problems in other areas and if these other areas are left untreated then the patient typically requires more treatments overall. That said a greater proportion of time will be spent on the problematic areas.
