Which type of massage is right for you?

Remedial massage and sports massage overlap, but they start with slightly different goals. If you are unsure, choose a massage appointment and tell your therapist what you want help with. They can recommend the most suitable approach after discussing your symptoms, training and preferences.

Remedial massage

Remedial massage is an assessment-led treatment for muscle tightness, general aches, restricted movement and specific soft-tissue concerns. Pressure and techniques are adjusted to the area being treated, your comfort and your goals.

Often chosen for:

  • Neck, shoulder or back tension
  • Muscle tightness and everyday aches
  • Restricted or uncomfortable movement
  • Recovery support after activity

Sports massage

Sports massage is tailored to your sport, activity and training load. It may be used around training or competition to address activity-related tightness, soreness and recovery needs. You do not need to be an elite athlete to book.

Often chosen for:

  • Training-related muscle soreness
  • Gym, running or sport-related tightness
  • Recovery between sessions or events
  • Maintaining comfort while staying active

Less focus on the tension. More focus on your day.

Depending on your assessment and goals, massage may help with muscle tension, general aches, neck and shoulder tightness, back discomfort, headaches associated with muscular tension, training-related soreness, stress-related tension and recovery after activity.

Massage is tailored to you. It is not a one-pressure-fits-all treatment, and the approach may change between appointments as your comfort, activity and goals change.

Your session. Your comfort. Your say.

1. Talk through your goals

Your therapist will ask what you want help with, what activities or training are involved and whether anything makes the area feel better or worse.

2. Assessment and treatment

The relevant area is assessed and the massage is adapted to your comfort. Tell your therapist at any time if you would like the pressure or position changed.

3. Practical next steps

Before you leave, your therapist can discuss recovery, movement or booking options that fit your situation. Recommendations depend on what they find and your goals.
