When should I get a remedial massage?

Remedial massage can be beneficial at any time, but there are certain situations where it can be particularly helpful for your body.

1. When you’re in pain

If your pain has come on after something that seems like muscular use or misuse — a huge week at work, a particularly hard training session, or even a terrible night’s sleep — this is the kind of pain remedial massage can be great at addressing.

2. When you’re working towards a goal

Training for a marathon? Preparing for a big hike? Trying to get through a competitive season with an extra edge?

Regular massage can help keep your body moving well and address small issues before they become bigger ones. Think of it as a monthly check-in to keep you feeling and performing at your best.

3. When you’re not recovering the way you should

Sometimes you simply start getting tight more often — or faster than you used to.

You go to do a set of squats and you’re already sore during the warm-up. Or you sit down at your desk and your shoulder is uncomfortable within the first 10 minutes, rather than at the end of the day.

This can be a sign that your body needs a little extra help. A remedial massage can help address those areas of tension and get you back to moving and performing at your best.

There are plenty of reasons to have a remedial massage, but these are some of the most common ones we see in the clinic.
