How does remedial massage differ from deep tissue massage?
Both address the deeper layers of muscle, but remedial massage takes a more clinical approach, assessing the root cause of your discomfort and tailoring treatment accordingly.
Deep tissue massage generally focuses on applying sustained pressure to release tension, whereas remedial massage may draw on a broader range of techniques.
What types of injuries may remedial massage help with?
What can I expect from 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 typically involve a combination of massage techniques typically suited to your condition, applied with varying 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 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 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 often should I schedule a remedial massage appointment?
This varies depending on your individual needs and goals. For those managing chronic pain conditions or recovering from an injury, more frequent sessions may be recommended in the early stages.
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.
