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 generally focuses on applying sustained pressure to release tension, whereas remedial massage may draw on a broader range of techniques.
Which types of injuries may remedial massage help manage?
What happens during my first remedial massage session?
Your qualified therapist will review your medical history before your session to understand your needs and any areas of concern. From there, they will aim to develop a treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Each session typically involves a combination of massage techniques appropriate to your condition, applied with varying levels of pressure depending on the area being addressed.
Which massage techniques do your 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 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 depends 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 alongside you to develop a maintenance schedule that supports your ongoing well-being and physical activity.
