How does remedial massage differ from deep tissue massage?
Both aim to target the deeper layers of muscle, but remedial massage takes a more clinical approach, identifying the root cause of your discomfort and tailoring treatment accordingly.
Deep tissue massage tends to centre on applying sustained pressure to help ease tension, whereas remedial massage may utilise a broader range of techniques.
What injuries may remedial massage help support?
What happens during 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 will generally draw on a combination of massage techniques suited to your condition, with varying pressure applied depending on the area being addressed.
What massage techniques do your massage therapists use?
Our massage therapists use a variety of techniques, including myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and deep tissue work.
They also use suitable lubricants and movements, tailoring 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 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.
Can remedial massage help address 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 often should I schedule 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.
