Which Sandgate Massage Should You Book?
Start with the massage type that best matches your main goal. Your therapist can discuss suitable techniques and adjust pressure and treatment areas during your appointment.
Remedial Massage
Consider remedial massage for tight muscles, general soreness or recurring tension through the neck, shoulders, back or legs.
Sports Massage
Consider sports massage for training fatigue, muscle soreness, sporting workload or recovery support.
Deep Tissue Massage
Consider deep tissue massage when you prefer firmer, targeted work through tight muscle areas. More pressure is not always more effective.
Relaxation Massage
Consider relaxation massage for stress, general tension or a gentler treatment experience.
Trigger Point Therapy
Consider trigger point therapy for localised tender areas or recurring muscle tightness when targeted pressure is appropriate.

When May Physiotherapy Be the Better First Step?
Massage may not be the most suitable first appointment when symptoms involve a recent injury, marked swelling, joint instability, significant weakness, worsening pain, numbness or pins and needles.
A physiotherapy assessment may be more appropriate when you need an injury assessment, rehabilitation plan or advice about returning to work, exercise or sport.
Seek prompt medical advice for sudden significant weakness, unexplained severe swelling or other concerning symptoms. Call Sandgate reception on 07 3269 1122 when you need help choosing a suitable appointment type.
