Physio Dan will take into consideration your pre-existing conditions, past injuries, and pain to identify massage techniques and variable intensities to suit your needs.

Remedial Massage

Remedial massage aims to treat sore muscles to speed up the body’s natural healing process. The targeted muscles may also be affecting other muscles, tendons, nerves and bones in compensatory mechanisms which can sometimes present as chronic or radiating pain, weaknesses, and fatigue. The applied massage pressure can be strong and deep or gentle and superficial.

Remedial massage can be used to help people with:

  • neck, shoulder or back pain
  • prevention of and recovery from injuries
  • headaches
  • arthritis
  • chronic pain
  • fatigue
  • oedema and swelling
  • other body aches and pain

Sports Massage

Sports massage is ideal to reduce muscle tension, improve blood flow and encourage the removal of lactic acid build up during high intensity activity. This promotes recovery and reduces the chance of muscle injury. Sports massage is not just for athletes but is also ideal for anyone who is prone to overuse injuries.

Sports massage can also be highly effective for recovery management between periods of increased work intensity, such as between training sessions, and gives your muscles the opportunity to relax and recover fully before the next session.

Relaxation Massage

Relaxation massage focuses on providing general relaxation, relieving achy muscle tension, and improving the body’s circulation. A relaxation massage generally uses deeply relaxing massage techniques and aims to target superficial muscle layers. Relaxation massages can encompass a whole-body massage or target specific body regions.
