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 generally focuses on applying sustained pressure to release tension, whereas remedial massage may draw on a broader range of techniques.
What injuries may remedial massage help support?
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.
Sessions generally involve a combination of massage techniques suited to your condition, applied with varying pressure depending on the area being addressed.
What techniques do your massage therapists draw on?
Our massage therapists utilise 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 designed for?
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 assist in softening scar tissue, supporting greater flexibility in the surrounding connective tissue, and helping to reduce restricted movement. This may be especially beneficial 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 progresses, your remedial massage therapist will work with you to establish a maintenance schedule that supports your ongoing well-being and physical activity.
