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 kinds of injuries may remedial massage help address?
What should I anticipate during 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.
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 apply a range 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 can benefit from sports massage therapy?
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.
May remedial massage help with scar tissue?
For some people, remedial massage techniques may help soften scar tissue, improve the flexibility of the surrounding connective tissue, and reduce restricted movement. This may be particularly helpful during injury recovery or following surgery.
How regularly should I book in for a remedial massage?
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 collaborate with you to find a maintenance schedule that best supports your ongoing well-being and physical activity.
