Massage or Physio?
How to Know Which One You Need
At our practice both appointments might be delivered by a physiotherapist, but they serve different purposes. Here’s how to choose the right one:
✨ Book a Massage When You:
Feel general muscle tightness or tension
Want relaxation or stress relief
Have training-related soreness
Need maintenance to help mobility
Want recovery support without a specific injury
Massage = hands-on soft tissue work to help you feel looser, lighter, and less tense.
⸻
🩺 Book a Physio Appointment When You:
Have a new or ongoing injury
Feel sharp, persistent, or unexplained pain
Experience stiffness that limits movement
Notice swelling, weakness, or instability
Keep getting the same recurring pain
Physio = assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and a tailored rehab plan.
⸻
If you’re ever unsure, book a physio appointment — we can assess and guide you to the right treatment.
