Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage
When muscle tension or restricted movement is left unaddressed, the body can begin to compensate by changing the way we move.
Over time, these compensation patterns may place additional strain on other areas of the body and contribute to ongoing discomfort.
Remedial Massage uses targeted techniques such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release, active and passive stretching, and deep tissue massage to address areas of muscular tension and restriction.
Treatment is tailored to your individual needs, with the aim of improving movement, easing tension and supporting healthy muscle function.

Sports Massage
Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a targeted form of remedial massage that focuses on the muscles and muscle groups used in your particular sport or physical activity.
Before treatment, we’ll discuss your training routine, frequency and duration of exercise, as well as any upcoming events or specific areas of concern.
Treatment is tailored to the individual and may involve deeper pressure where appropriate. A range of techniques can be used, including deep tissue massage,
Muscle Energy Technique (MET), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), pin and stretch techniques, and mobilisation.
Specific stretches or exercises may also be recommended to support movement, recovery and ongoing body maintenance.
Sports Massage can also work alongside physiotherapy or chiropractic treatment as part of a broader approach to managing your body and training.
Sports and Remedial massages are very similar, although sometimes Sports Massage will include dry needling too.
Q. Have you been wondering what is the difference between ‘Sports Massage’ and ‘Remedial Massage’ ?
Really, Sports and Remedial massages are very similar, like two peas in a pod! Although sometimes Sports Massage will include dry needling too.
As I often get asked what’s the difference, today I’ll share two case studies that highlight the difference in types of massage.
Case 01.
Jane who has booked a Sport Massage
Jane is training for a triathlon, and is experiencing very tight calves, and mid-back pain, as well as tight hip flexors. After questioning, it is determined that the main cause of Jane’s tightness is her long hours training on the bike and turbo!
Specific massage techniques are used to release these muscles, and these techniques are similar to those used in a remedial massage. The difference however, is that a professional massage therapist will understand all the muscles involved in the sport training, and hence potential level of tightness based on the activity!
Case 02.
John who has booked a Remedial Massage
John works long hours at the computer working as a statistician. John also loves his weekly game of golf, and has arrived at the massage clinic with tightness in his lower back, neck, and in-between his shoulder blades. The tightness and pain varies in intensity in the different areas and John just wants to feel better.
For John, general massage techniques are used to balance out the body with some specific techniques to pinpoint and release the tightness in his back and neck.
After his remedial massage, John reported back he had a more relaxed, better golfing swing the following week, and his neck pain had eased whilst at work.
The difference between ‘Sports Massage’ and ‘Remedial Massage’ is where the focus lies, and what techniques are used to resolve the issue.
An experienced professional masseuse will have a background understanding of both the sport and postural position for a specific job. This knowledge helps us work out the targeting muscles, and the depth of pressure for the specific areas. And to assess the neighbouring muscle groups.
