What can remedial massage help with?
Remedial massage is commonly used to address muscular discomfort and movement restrictions. Depending on your individual situation, treatment may be used to support:
- muscle tightness, tension and spasm
- general muscular aches and soreness
- restricted movement and stiffness
- recovery from training and physical activity
- muscular discomfort associated with prolonged sitting or repetitive activity
- relaxation and general wellbeing
Massage is not a substitute for medical assessment when symptoms suggest an injury or health condition requiring diagnosis. Mick will work within the appropriate scope of massage therapy and recommend further assessment when needed.

What is remedial massage?
Remedial massage is a targeted form of massage therapy. Rather than providing the same massage to every client, the treatment is adapted according to your symptoms, areas of tension, movement and treatment goals.
A session may include a combination of massage techniques and pressure levels. Some people want focused work on a particular muscular problem, while others benefit from a broader treatment aimed at reducing tension and improving comfort.
What happens at a remedial massage appointment?
Your appointment begins with a discussion about what is bothering you, relevant health history and what you would like to achieve. Mick can then tailor the treatment to the areas that need attention.
Pressure and technique can be adjusted throughout the session. Remedial massage does not have to mean excessively painful treatment; the aim is to use an appropriate level of pressure for you and the problem being addressed.
Is remedial massage only for injuries?
No. Many people book remedial massage because of everyday muscle tightness, stiffness or discomfort rather than a specific sporting injury. Desk work, repetitive tasks, physical jobs, exercise and general life can all leave muscles feeling tight or overloaded.
If you have a new injury, severe or unexplained pain, neurological symptoms or another concern that requires diagnosis, appropriate medical or allied-health assessment may be recommended.
How is remedial massage different from relaxation massage?
Relaxation massage is generally focused on overall relaxation and comfort. Remedial massage is more targeted: the session is shaped around particular muscular symptoms, movement restrictions or recovery goals.
That does not mean a remedial treatment cannot also feel relaxing. The approach and pressure can be adjusted depending on what your body needs and what you are comfortable with.
Can remedial massage help active people?
Yes. Remedial massage can be useful for active people who develop muscular tightness or soreness through training and sport. Treatment can focus on areas that are carrying a high workload and may form part of a broader recovery routine.
Mick’s sporting background and decades of clinical experience mean he understands the demands that regular training can place on the body. For treatment focused specifically on training, sport and athletic recovery, learn more about Mick’s sports massage in Brighton.
How often should you have remedial massage?
There is no single schedule that suits everyone. Some clients book when a particular problem arises, while others choose regular appointments because of their training, work demands or tendency to develop recurring muscular tension.
The appropriate frequency depends on your goals, symptoms, response to treatment and other care you may be receiving.

Frequently asked questions about remedial massage
Is remedial massage painful?
It does not need to be. Some techniques can feel firm or tender in tight areas, but pressure should be appropriate and tolerable. Tell Mick if you would like the pressure adjusted.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear comfortable clothing. Mick will explain what is required for the areas being treated and your privacy and comfort will be respected throughout the appointment.
How long does it take to notice a difference?
This varies considerably. Some people notice a change in muscular comfort or movement after a session, while persistent or recurring problems may require a broader management approach.
Can I have remedial massage after exercise?
Massage can form part of a recovery routine, but the timing and intensity should suit your training and how your body feels. If you have an acute injury, assessment may be more appropriate before massage.
Can remedial massage treat headaches?
Muscular tension can sometimes contribute to headache symptoms, but headaches have many possible causes. New, severe, unusual or persistent headaches should be medically assessed rather than assumed to be muscular.
Do I need a referral?
You can generally book a massage appointment directly. If another practitioner is involved in your care, relevant information can help ensure the treatment fits appropriately with your overall management.
