Evaluation
The massage therapist will first evaluate the client to determine their specific needs, areas of pain or discomfort, and any injuries or conditions that may require special attention.
Management
The therapist will then create a management plan based on the evaluation, taking into account the client's goals and expectations for the session.
Treatment
The massage itself will involve various techniques, such as kneading, stretching, and deep tissue massage, depending on the client's needs and the therapist's assessment.
Massage Therapy FAQ's
What types of massage do you offer?
We provide relaxing massage, deep tissue massage, sports massage, and hot and cold stone massage.
How does a deep tissue massage differ from a relaxing massage?
A deep tissue massage targets deeper muscle layers to relieve tension and chronic pain, while a relaxing massage is gentler and focuses on stress relief and relaxation.
What’s the Difference Between Sports Massage and Deep Tissue Massage?
While both work deeply into muscles, sports massage focuses on areas affected by physical activity. Trigger-point therapy is a key feature, making it ideal for treating activity-related strains or fatigue, while deep tissue massage targets general tension and relaxation.
Are there any side effects of a sports massage
Some potential side effects of sports massage may include temporary tenderness or stiffness in the treated areas, lasting for a day or two following the therapy session.
In rare cases, individuals may experience a skin reaction to the massage oils or lotions used during the treatment.
Is a sports massage painful?
Discomfort is a normal sensation that you may experience during or after a sports massage, but it should not result in significant pain.
If you encounter pain that surpasses what is commonly referred to as “the good kind of hurt,” it is essential to communicate this promptly to your physiotherapist. They will be able to adjust their techniques or pressure to ensure your comfort and well-being throughout the session.
What should I wear for a massage session?
You’ll be draped with towels during your session to ensure privacy. Wear comfortable clothing that’s easy to change out of.
How do I prepare for a massage?
Stay hydrated, avoid a heavy meal beforehand, and inform us of any allergies or injuries. Arrive a few minutes early to relax and discuss your preferences.
