WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPORTS MASSAGE AND REMEDIAL MASSAGE?

Sports massage is designed to target both superficial and deeper tissue structures using a range of techniques, making it the ideal treatment for an individual who is feeling tight, sore or struggling with recovery. Whereas, remedial massage is a more gentle treatment, targeting superficial muscles, as it is more-so centred around relaxation.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SPORTS MASSAGE?

Sports massage has a range of benefits, such as:

  • Releasing and reducing muscle tension

  • Increase range of motion and flexibility

  • Promote recovery through the removal of waste products

  • Help to reduce the risk of injury or re-injury

  • Improve circulation and lymphatic drainage

  • Improve posture

  • Psychological benefits such as reducing stress and better sleep

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY APPOINTMENT?

It’s important that you are comfortable for your appointment, however, please bear in mind that depending on the treatment area/s, you may need to remove clothing - so think ahead! We will, of course, provide towels and blankets to maintain your modesty throughout.
