“The main difference between deep tissue massage and clinical massage is their purpose and technique. Deep tissue massage focuses on relieving chronic muscle tension by applying firm pressure to deeper muscle layers. Clinical massage is a broader term that includes various techniques tailored to treat specific medical conditions, injuries, or postural issues.
Clinical massage is a structured, goal-oriented therapy designed to address specific pain, alignment, neuro or mobility issues. Clinical massage can effectively relieve chronic pain, achieve postural correction, and improve mobility. Unlike deep tissue massages, clinical massage involves a full assessment before treatment and a treatment plan, utilising various techniques tailored to the client’s specific needs.
Think of clinical massage as a well-equipped toolbox, with deep tissue massage being one of the tools inside. A clinical massage therapist doesn’t only use various massage techniques; they use a combination of other techniques, such as trigger point therapy, cupping, neuromuscular stimulation, myofascial release, and joint mobilisation, passive and dynamic stretches to achieve the best possible results for each client.
This approach makes clinical massage highly effective for treating conditions like:
