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 generally focuses on applying sustained pressure to release tension, whereas remedial massage may draw on a broader range of techniques.
What injuries may remedial massage help support?
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.
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.
What techniques do your massage therapists draw on?
Our massage therapists utilise 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 is sports massage therapy designed for?
Sports massage isn’t just for elite athletes; it’s generally suitable for active people of all ages and levels. Whether you’re a weekend runner, a gym regular, or a competitive sportsperson, you may find sports massage therapy helpful.
How 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 frequently should I book a remedial massage appointment?
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 with you to find a maintenance schedule that supports your ongoing well-being and physical activity.
