Deep Tissue massage takes a full body approach to treatment. It is not focused on a specific injury like a remedial massage. If you’re experiencing tension and pain but not sure why its there or keeps coming back a remedial massage is always recommended over a deep tissue massage.
Like its name suggests it is a massage where the therapist will get quite deep into the muscle to release tension, stiffness and decrease pain.
It is generally not the go-to if you want a relaxing massage but can be very effective in getting rid of tension in the deeper muscles of the entire body. The deep tissue massage therapist will utilise their knuckles and elbows to break down scar tissue and get into trigger points in the muscle to give you relief.
What Is Remedial Massage and Is It The Right Treatment For You?
Remedial massage is a form of treatment that is targeted at a specific area of your body. Whether its an injury that’s just occurred or an issue you’ve had that’s been coming and going for a while, our remedial massage therapists will find the specific reason for your pain. They will then treat the underlying condition rather than just massaging all over and hoping something they did fixes the problem.
Remedial Massage Treatment will involve massaging of particular muscles with deep and light pressure to get your body to have the most effective response. Treatment will also include active trigger point therapy (muscle releases), deep stretching of your muscles to increase movement and prescribed exercise and rehab to help keep the pain away between treatment.
What Is Sports Massage and Is It The Right Treatment For You?
Sports massage is very similar to remedial massage. It involves the assessment and examination undertaken in a remedial massage to correct and rehabilitate a specific injury or problem. The only difference between sports and remedial massage is that a sports massage is focused on a particular sporting injury. E.g. Knee and ankle problems for runners, shoulder problems for swimmers, joint/muscle issues for gym goers.
A sports massage utilises different joint and muscle techniques such as releases, stretches and joint movements to get rid of pain. Sports massage is also focused on prevention, so you don’t need to be in pain to get one. You can literally have it done to keep certain problems from starting in the first place!

Our remedial massage therapists are fully qualified to assess and examine your condition so that they can create a treatment plan specific to your problem.
The most effective massage for you is based on the problem you have. Remedial massage is most effective as it is targeted at a specific problem area. Your issue will be examined and tested so that the massage, muscle releases and pressure applied are designed to give you the quickest and most effective relief. This type of massage also helps to improve movement/mobility and focuses on optimum function to stop the problem coming back.
Deep tissue massage is a more generalised massage for the entire back. Deep pressure is applied to give the most effective relief but not targeted at any one specific area.
A sport massage incorporates a lot of what a remedial massage does and is based on a specific sports injury where the problem area is assessed and diagnosed. Treatment is then targeted to stop the pain, improve function and rehabilitate the area to stop the problem from coming back again.
