Remedial Massage
If left unchecked, our body responds to the dysfunction by setting us up with compensatory mechanisms and lazy movement patterns which culminate in a domino effect that typically makes the original condition worse.
By using remedial massage techniques such as focused trigger point therapy, myofascial release, active and passive stretching, and deep tissue massage, the therapist is able to encourage the release of muscle tightness, improve blood flow and tissue healing for reduced scar tissue and correct muscle function.

Sports Massage
Sports massage is a type of remedial massage that focuses on specific muscles or muscle groups that are recruited in a particular sport. We will ask you about your sport, how often you train, the length of training sessions, and when the big event is! Often a deeper style of massage is required, but not always! It really varies between athletes.
Sports Massage uses a variety of techniques (e.g. deep tissue massage, Muscle Energy Technique (MET), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), pin & stretching and mobilization) on specific muscle groups relating to a particular sport. Exercises and specific stretches may be prescribed. Sports remedial works well in conjunction with Physio and or Chiro treatments.
Sports and Remedial massages are very similar, although sometimes Sports Massage will include dry needling too.
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!
Based on the scheduled event, and training load, we can better recommend the frequency of sports massage so that Jane can be at her absolute best on race day! And injury free!!
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.
