What to Expect
Soft tissue massage is a hands-on therapy designed to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance recovery. During your session, your physiotherapist will use a combination of techniques—such as deep tissue pressures & trigger point releasing techniques—tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or dealing with daily muscle tightness, soft tissue massage aims to leave you feeling more mobile, relaxed, and balanced.

Soft Tissue Massage FAQs
What conditions can soft tissue massage help with?
Soft tissue massage can assist with muscle tightness, sports injuries, back and neck pain, headaches, postural imbalances, and general stress relief.
Is soft tissue massage painful?
Some areas may feel tender during deep pressure or trigger point work, but your therapist will adjust the intensity to ensure it remains effective yet comfortable. Mild soreness after treatment is normal and typically subsides within 24–48 hours.
How often should I get a soft tissue massage?
Frequency depends on your condition and goals. For ongoing tension or injury recovery, weekly sessions may be recommended initially. For general maintenance or stress relief, fortnightly or monthly appointments are often sufficient.
