What can I expect from a massage therapy session?
Initially, the massage therapist will enquire about the reason for your massage, to understand the best approach and techniques they will use to help you. They will ask briefly about any other medical problems you have, and your usual work activity/exercise levels, to tailor the massage and ensure it is appropriate for you.
The session itself will be purely hands-on, with the therapist providing specific treatment for your needs. Feelings of relaxation, tiredness and sometimes soreness after a massage are entirely normal. Any post massage soreness usually settles in the next day or two.
It’s important to tell your massage therapist how much pressure you would prefer, as they can vary their techniques based on your preferences.
Do I need physiotherapy or massage therapy?
When to see a Physiotherapist:
- If you have had a specific injury leading to pain in the area or are worried you have sustained a more serious injury and you would like further assessment regarding specific diagnosis and then advice on management and treatment options.
- If you have had massages before for the same problem and they have not helped and in particular if your pain is not improving.
- If you have seen another health professional who has referred you to, or advised you to see a Physiotherapist.
When to see a Massage Therapist:
- If you have known episodic periods of pain for example neck or lower back pain and you know massage has helped before to manage your symptoms.
- If a physiotherapist has recommended Massage to help facilitate the recovery of your problem.
- If you have no pain symptoms but feel you would benefit from hands on treatment to help muscles to relax and improve circulation.
