What are Sports & Remedial Massage?
Sports massage is a deeper style of massage that can be beneficial at various stages of a training routine regardless of what level you participate. Regular sports massage can help to maintain and improve muscle health, flexibility and ranges of motion. Sports massage can be used to prepare the body for an event, or after to help it return to a pre-event state.
Remedial massage is a therapeutic treatment focused on addressing musculoskeletal issues to relieve pain, improve movement, and promote healing. It goes beyond relaxation, using specific techniques to target muscle tension, injuries, and imbalances. Unlike general relaxation massages, remedial massage aims to treat the root cause of problems and aid recovery
Remedial and sports massage both aim to relieve muscle tension and pain, but they differ in their primary focus and techniques. Remedial massage focuses on treating specific injuries, chronic pain, and musculoskeletal imbalances, while sports massage is tailored to athletes and active individuals, emphasizing injury prevention, performance enhancement, and recovery.
