Frequently Asked Questions

Who should have Sports Massage Therapy?

Anybody who is recovering from an injury, or with muscular problems/aches and pains brought about by over activity or inactivity, e.g. lifting large objects, or sitting at a desk/computer all day.

Sports and Remedial Massage Therapy is also beneficial to those who just want to experience a general feeling of well being.

How often will I require treatment?

This depends on each individual. Some people require treatments in quick succession to assist in the healing process of a specific injury.

Some find that a weekly treatment helps to control their stress levels, whilst others find that a maintenance treatment every few weeks works well.

What happens during a treatment?

A brief history is taken prior to the first treatment.

During the treatment, a general base oil or lotion is often used as a lubricant. This allows the therapist's hands to glide across the skin without causing any surface friction. The lubricant soaks into the skin quite quickly.

Some treatments may require the use of deep tissue techniques. As a result, you may occassionally feel some post-treatment soreness, which should disappear after a day or two. This is usually a sign that the treatment is having a positive effect.

Sessions take place in a calm and un-hurried atmosphere. There is time if necessary, after your treatment to ask any questions that you may have regarding your progress.
