Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between deep-tissue massage and a regular sports massage?

Deep-tissue massage targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue using slower, more focused pressure, which is useful for chronic tension or muscle tightness. Sports massage typically combines lighter and deeper techniques and is often timed around training or competition schedules for warm-up or recovery purposes.

Do I need a referral from a doctor for sports physiotherapy?

A referral is not required to book a physiotherapy assessment at our Alexandria studio. Our physiotherapists will evaluate your movement, injury history, and goals during the first session and outline a treatment plan based on their findings.

How soon after a sports injury should I book a session?

This depends on the type and severity of the injury. For acute injuries, we recommend consulting a physician first. For muscle soreness, minor strains, or overuse issues, many athletes book a physiotherapy or massage session within a few days once initial swelling has settled.

Can massage therapy help with muscle recovery between training sessions?

Many athletes use deep-tissue and sports massage as part of a regular recovery routine to address muscle tightness and manage training load. Results vary by individual, and our therapists will discuss a session frequency that fits your training schedule.

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit includes a short intake discussion about your training, injury history, and goals, followed by an assessment and treatment session. Sessions typically run 45 to 60 minutes, and our team will explain the approach before starting.

Do you treat non-athletes or people with everyday muscle pain?

Yes. While our studio focuses on athlete recovery, we also work with clients dealing with general muscle tension, postural strain from desk work, or stiffness from daily activity. Treatment plans are adjusted to each person's needs.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on your condition, training demands, and recovery goals. Some clients book a single session for muscle maintenance, while others follow a structured plan over several weeks. Your physiotherapist will recommend a plan after the initial assessment.

Where is the studio located in Alexandria?
