What is the difference between remedial and deep tissue massage?
While both address the deeper layers of muscle, remedial massage takes a more clinical approach, assessing the underlying cause of your discomfort and adapting treatment to suit your needs.
Deep tissue massage tends to focus on applying sustained pressure to release tension, whereas remedial massage may incorporate a broader range of techniques.
What kinds of injuries may remedial massage help address?
What can I expect from my first remedial massage session?
Your qualified therapist will take the time to review your medical history before your session, helping them understand your needs and any areas of concern. From there, they will aim to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Sessions generally involve a combination of massage techniques suited to your condition, applied with varying pressure depending on the area being addressed.
What massage techniques do your massage therapists use?
Our massage therapists draw on a range of techniques, including myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and deep tissue work.
They also use appropriate lubricants and movements, adapting each session to your individual needs and clinical requirements. No two sessions are exactly the same.
Who is sports massage therapy suitable for?
Sports massage isn’t exclusively for elite athletes; it’s generally appropriate for active people of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you’re a weekend runner, a gym regular, or a competitive sportsperson, you may find that sports massage therapy supports your needs.
May remedial massage help with scar tissue?
For some individuals, remedial massage techniques may help soften scar tissue, improve the flexibility of the surrounding connective tissue, and help reduce restricted movement. This may be particularly useful during injury recovery or following surgery.
How regularly should I book in for a remedial massage?
This varies depending on your individual needs and goals. For those managing chronic pain conditions or recovering from an injury, more frequent sessions may be recommended in the early stages.
As your condition improves, your remedial massage therapist will collaborate with you to find a maintenance schedule that best supports your ongoing well-being and physical activity.
