What is the difference between remedial and 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 focus on applying sustained pressure to release tension, whereas remedial massage may incorporate a broader range of techniques.
What kinds of injuries may remedial massage help address?
What happens 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.
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 apply 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.
Is sports massage therapy suitable for me?
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 assist in softening scar tissue, supporting greater flexibility in the surrounding connective tissue, and helping to reduce restricted movement. This may be especially beneficial during injury recovery or following surgery.
How often should I book a remedial massage appointment?
The frequency of your sessions will depend on your individual needs and goals. For those managing chronic pain conditions or recovering from injury, more frequent sessions may be advisable 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.
