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 types of injuries may remedial massage help with?
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.
Sessions generally involve a combination of massage techniques suited to your condition, applied with varying pressure depending on the area being addressed.
What massage techniques do your massage therapists use?
Our massage therapists draw on a range 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.
Is sports massage therapy suitable for me?
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.
Can remedial massage help treat 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 regularly should I book in for a remedial massage?
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 work alongside you to develop a maintenance schedule that supports your ongoing well-being and physical activity.
