Treatment & Recovery FAQs
-
Sports & remedial massage is a targeted treatment designed to reduce pain and muscle tension, improve mobility, support recovery, and address dysfunction caused by sport, injury, work, or everyday life.
Sports massage is often associated with performance, recovery, and injury prevention, while remedial massage focuses on assessing and treating pain, movement restrictions, and musculoskeletal dysfunction. In practice, treatments often combine elements of both approaches and are tailored to your individual needs, goals, and current presentation.
-
Common issues include muscle tightness, neck and shoulder tension, lower back discomfort, post-exercise soreness, reduced mobility, and overuse injuries.
-
Not at all. Despite the name, sports & remedial massage isn’t just for athletes. Many clients seek treatment for back pain, neck and shoulder tension, postural issues, work-related aches, or general muscle tightness.
-
Some techniques can feel intense, especially when working on tight or sensitive areas. Treatment should always remain within a manageable level of discomfort and be tailored to your preferences.
-
This depends on your condition and goals. Some clients feel improvement after one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments.
-
Yes of course. My treatments are primarily focused on reducing pain, improving mobility, and addressing muscle tension. However, treatment can be adapted to use lighter pressure if you prefer a more relaxing experience.

Please wear loose-fitting shorts. Depending on the areas being treated, you may be asked to remove your top to allow access (e.g. shoulders or back). You’ll always be appropriately draped with towels, and your comfort and privacy are a priority.

New client? I recommend booking a 60-minute appointment. This allows time for a consultation, assessment, and treatment.
A 90-minute appointment is often the most effective option if you have multiple areas of concern, a more complex or long-standing injury, or would like a more in-depth treatment and recovery session.
45-minute appointments are available on request for follow-up treatments. Please get in touch for more information.

Your first session typically includes a discussion of your medical history, current symptoms, activity levels, goals, and an assessment before treatment begins.
