This therapeutic form of massage aims to relieve pain caused by tight muscles, sore muscles, sports injuries, and other conditions and involves a targeted treatment plan based on your unique needs and goals.

Massage Treatments
Remedial Massage
A remedial massage focuses on identifying and addressing specific conditions and injuries and may include many forms of massage treatment depending on your needs.
Deep Tissue Massage
A deep tissue massage involves your massage therapist applying firm pressure to reach deep layers of muscle and tissue and aims to release chronic muscle tension and knots.
Sports Massage
A sports massage is designed to support athletes throughout their training, aiming to promote healing, prevent injuries, and promote optimal function in their sport.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy may be tough on expectant mothers' bodies, and pregnancy massage aims to reduce the discomforts that often come along during this time. Massage therapists tend to use gentle massage techniques in an effort to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce stress.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique sometimes used in massage therapy. It involves inserting thin, sterilised needles into trigger points in tight muscles in an effort to relieve pain and reduce tension.
Cupping
Cupping is where your massage therapist places suction cups on the skin, creating a 'vacuum' effect on the underlying muscle through the skin. It aims to provide relief by promoting blood flow and helping tight muscles to relax.

Frequently Asked Questions
The answer to this depends on your specific injury, wellness goals, and how you’d like to approach your overall well-being! Remedial massage therapy from an experienced massage therapist may be a great way to address and hopefully alleviate pain for some, while others prefer physiotherapy, and some combine the two! If you’re open to physiotherapy or a remedial massage from a Preston massage therapist, our team at Specific Physiotherapy is ready to welcome you.
A relaxation massage aims to reduce stress through long, flowing, gentle strokes and gentle kneading. A massage therapist may recommend a relaxation massage as part of a pregnancy massage, corporate massage, or any other situation where relaxing is the goal. On the other hand, a remedial massage focuses on alleviating pain such as neck pain, back pain, or pain elsewhere in the body following a detailed assessment as part of a treatment plan. A remedial massage appointment may also promote relaxation, though alleviating pain is often the main focus.
