Frequently Asked Questions
What is remedial massage and how is it different from relaxation massage?
Remedial massage is a targeted clinical treatment assessing and treating specific muscles, tendons, ligaments and soft tissue issues, aiming to help relieve pain, improve movement and support recovery rather than focusing primarily on relaxation.
What conditions or symptoms can remedial massage help with?
This can include muscle tension, neck and back pain, shoulder pain, sports injuries, headaches, postural problems, muscle strains, joint stiffness, repetitive strain injuries, and stress-related muscular tension.
What happens during a remedial massage appointment?
Your therapist will discuss your symptoms, history, and goals, then assess the affected area and apply techniques such as deep-tissue massage, trigger-point therapy, stretching, and soft-tissue mobilisation.
Should I expect to feel sore after my session?
Mild soreness for 24-48 hours is common, particularly after deeper techniques, similar to post-exercise soreness. Most patients notice improved mobility and reduced tension shortly afterwards.
How long do the benefits of massage typically last?
This varies by individual, condition and lifestyle; some patients feel relief for several days, others for weeks, particularly when combined with exercise and rehabilitation advice.
How many sessions are recommended for injury recovery?
This depends on the severity and duration of the condition; acute injuries may need only a few sessions, while chronic issues often benefit from a structured plan.
What should I wear or bring to my appointment?
Comfortable clothing. You may be asked to expose the treatment area while your privacy is maintained. Bringing relevant scans, reports or referral information is helpful.
Can remedial massage be combined with chiropractic or physiotherapy treatments?
Yes, it often works well alongside chiropractic care and other treatments to support flexibility and recovery.
Is remedial massage safe for everyone?
Generally safe for most people, though certain medical conditions may require modification. A health screening is completed before treatment to check suitability.
