Massage FAQs
What should I wear?
Please wear comfortable clothing. Depending on the area being treated, your massage therapist may ask you to remove some clothing, but you should only ever undress to the level you feel comfortable with. Towels will be used throughout the treatment to ensure your privacy and comfort.
Will massage hurt?
Deep tissue massage and sports massage can certainly feel more intense than a relaxation massage. Throughout your treatment, your massage therapist will encourage you to let them know if you would prefer more or less pressure, so the massage can be tailored to your comfort. Relaxation massage is performed using lighter pressure and is designed to be calming and soothing.
Is sports massage only for athletes?
Absolutely not. Although many athletes find sports massage beneficial for recovery, muscle tension and stiffness, it is suitable for anyone with tight or aching muscles. At the start of your appointment, your therapist will discuss your symptoms and recommend the most appropriate type of massage for your individual needs.
How often should I have treatment?
There are no hard and fast rules. Some people enjoy a regular weekly, fortnightly or monthly massage to help keep muscles supple and encourage relaxation. Others may simply book treatment when they feel they need it. If massage is being used alongside physiotherapy or to help with a specific problem, more frequent treatment may initially be beneficial. Your massage therapist or physiotherapist will be happy to advise you based on your individual circumstances.
Can massage help after Physiotherapy?
Yes. Massage can be an excellent complement to physiotherapy and may help reduce muscle tension, improve flexibility and aid recovery. If appropriate, our physiotherapists and massage therapist can work together to ensure your treatment is tailored to your condition and recovery goals.
Do I need an assessment first?
Not usually. If you are simply looking to relieve muscle tension, reduce stress or enjoy a massage, you can book directly with our massage therapist. However, if you have a recent injury, persistent pain or are unsure of the cause of your symptoms, we would recommend an initial physiotherapy assessment. Our physiotherapists can diagnose the problem and advise whether massage is the most appropriate treatment as part of your recovery.
What type of massage should I book?
If you’re unsure, don’t worry. Before your treatment, your massage therapist will discuss your symptoms and what you would like to achieve. Whether you’re looking to relieve muscle tension, recover from sport, reduce stress or simply relax, we’ll recommend the most appropriate style of massage for your individual needs.
