How does remedial massage differ from deep tissue massage?
Both address the deeper layers of muscle, but remedial massage takes a more clinical approach, assessing the root cause of your discomfort and tailoring treatment accordingly.
Deep tissue massage typically focuses on using sustained pressure to help release tension, while remedial massage may incorporate a wider range of techniques.
Which types of injuries may remedial massage help manage?
What can I expect from my first remedial massage session?
Your qualified therapist will go through your medical history prior to your session to better understand your needs and any areas of concern. From there, they will aim to develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual goals.
Each session typically involves a combination of massage techniques appropriate to your condition, applied with varying levels of pressure depending on the area being addressed.
Which massage techniques do your therapists use?
Our massage therapists apply a range of techniques, including myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and deep tissue work.
They also apply appropriate lubricants and movements, adjusting each session to suit your individual needs and clinical requirements. No two sessions are exactly alike.
Who can benefit from sports massage therapy?
Sports massage is not just for elite athletes; it’s generally suited to active people of all ages and levels. Whether you’re a weekend runner, a gym regular, or a competitive sportsperson, sports massage therapy may have something to offer you.
Can remedial massage help treat scar tissue?
For some people, remedial massage techniques may help address scar tissue by supporting improved flexibility in the surrounding connective tissue and helping to reduce restricted movement. This may be particularly worthwhile during injury recovery or following surgery.
How often should I book a remedial massage appointment?
This will depend on your individual needs and goals. For those managing chronic pain conditions or recovering from injury, more frequent sessions may be recommended initially.
As your condition progresses, your remedial massage therapist will work with you to establish a maintenance schedule that supports your ongoing well-being and physical activity.
