What is the difference between sports and remedial massage?

 

In truth, not a lot. Sports massage is usually a lot deeper type of massage than remedial massage.

Sports massage is typically used to help treat sports injuries by releasing knots and help re-align damaged muscle tissue.

Remedial massage is a much more gentle approach ideally suited for those who just simply wish to relax and unwind.

However, for many non sports related injuries and problems, deeper pressure is much more effective and many people will benefit more with having a combination of both sports and remedial massage rather than just having a relaxing remedial massage. Depending on the nature of the problem will determine the best form of massage. In simple terms, remedial massage is a way to help just relax and unwind, sports massage is the treatment of muscle damage and knots.
