What is the difference between remedial and deep tissue massage?
Both approaches address the deeper layers of muscle, however remedial massage takes a more clinical approach, assessing the root cause of your discomfort and tailoring each session accordingly.
Deep tissue massage typically focuses on using sustained pressure to help release tension, while remedial massage may incorporate a wider range of techniques.
What kinds of injuries may remedial massage help address?
What happens during my first remedial massage session?
Before your session, your qualified therapist will review your medical history to gain an understanding of your needs and any areas of concern. From there, they will aim to put together a 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.
Which massage techniques do your therapists use?
Our massage therapists draw on 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 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 address 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 frequently 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 improves, your remedial massage therapist will work with you to find a maintenance schedule that supports your ongoing well-being and physical activity.
