Remedial Massage and related services FAQs
Below are some frequently asked questions that we get regarding remedial massage, sports massage and all of our services.
What should I expect during my first remedial massage session?
Your first session will begin with a consultation where we discuss your health history, any current concerns, and your goals for treatment. The therapist will assess you, checking your range of motion and identify your area of discomfort, then tailor the massage to address your specific needs, using techniques that will best benefit your condition.
Is remedial massage painful?
While remedial massage can sometimes involve deeper pressure to release muscle tension, our therapists will always work within your comfort level. Any discomfort should be minimal and manageable, and we will adjust our techniques to ensure a positive experience.
How often should I have a remedial massage?
The frequency of treatments depends on your individual needs and goals. For chronic conditions, we may recommend weekly sessions initially, gradually reducing frequency as your symptoms improve.
Can I have a remedial massage if I am pregnant?
Yes, remedial massage can be beneficial during pregnancy, but it’s essential to inform your therapist beforehand. We will adjust the techniques and positioning to ensure both comfort and safety for you and your baby.
What should I wear to a remedial massage session?
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that is easy to remove. During the massage, you will be draped with towels, ensuring only the area being worked on is exposed. You are welcome to discuss any comfort preferences with your therapist.
Can remedial massage help with sports injuries?
Absolutely! Remedial massage can be highly effective in treating sports injuries by reducing muscle tension, improving range of motion, and speeding up recovery time. It can also help prevent future injuries by maintaining muscle health.
Are there any conditions where remedial massage is not recommended?
Remedial massage may not be suitable for people with certain medical conditions, such as acute inflammation, recent surgery, fractures, or deep vein thrombosis. It’s important to inform your therapist of any existing health conditions before your session.
How long do the benefits of a remedial massage last?
The benefits of a remedial massage can vary depending on your individual condition and lifestyle. Some people feel immediate relief, while others may notice gradual improvement over several sessions. Regular massages can help maintain the benefits over the long term.
Can remedial massage help with anxiety or stress?
Yes, remedial massage can help alleviate anxiety and stress by promoting relaxation, reducing muscle tension, and enhancing the body’s natural endorphin release. It’s a great way to support both physical and mental well-being.
How do I know if remedial massage is right for me?
Remedial massage is suitable for most people, whether you’re experiencing pain, recovering from an injury, or just looking to improve your overall health. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us for a consultation to discuss your specific needs and concerns.
Do you offer aftercare advice following a remedial massage?
