What is the difference between a remedial massage and a 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 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 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 typically involve a combination of massage techniques typically 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 use a variety of techniques, including myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and deep tissue work.
They also use appropriate lubricants and movements, adapting every session to your individual needs and clinical requirements. Every session is uniquely tailored to you.
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 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.
