At Restored Eden Physiotherapy, we understand that navigating between a relaxing Massage, Sports Massage or a Physiotherapy appointment might leave you with questions. Let's explore each option, highlighting the differences and making it easier for you to decide what works best for you.

Our array of massages, from Aromatherapy to Thai, Swedish to Hot Stone, are designed to envelop you in a haven of relaxation. Whether you prefer oil massages, staying fully clothed, or opting for a towel covering, we tailor the experience to your comfort. Picture a room filled with soothing aromas, a comfortable temperature, and therapeutic music – the perfect backdrop for your blissful escape.
Benefits of Massage: The Holistic Touch
From a physiotherapy perspective, we advocate for monthly massages as a proactive approach to well-being. It's not a luxury or just for relaxation; it's a natural alternative to pain medication. Research reveals that massages effectively manage various conditions, from subacute/chronic low back pain to anxiety and stress. The physical benefits are extensive, ranging from reduced muscle tension to improved joint mobility and heightened mental alertness.
Sports Massage: Precision for the Active Body
Sports massage is a specialized form of therapy designed for athletes and those engaged in regular physical activity. Tailored to specific stages of training or recovery, it employs a combination of techniques like Swedish and deep tissue massage, compression, stretching, and joint mobilization.
Pre-event sessions aim to warm up muscles and boost flexibility, while post-event massage focuses on reducing muscle soreness and hastening recovery. Maintenance sessions address minor issues to prevent larger problems, and rehabilitative massage targets injured areas for pain reduction and improved healing. The benefits of sports massage encompass enhanced flexibility, improved circulation, reduced muscle tension, injury prevention, and relaxation. Administered by qualified therapists, sports massage proves integral to optimizing performance, preventing injuries, and fostering overall physical well-being.
Physiotherapy: Tailored Solutions for Specific Concerns
Physiotherapy with the highest level of training required is a diverse field covering neurological, musculoskeletal, respiratory, elderly care, special needs, paediatrics, cardiovascular, orthopaedic, and women's health. If you're dealing with specific pain, weakness, sports injuries, or any body-related concern, our expertise spans across these domains.
Physiotherapy Assessment: A Personalized Approach
Here's how we approach your physiotherapy needs:
1. Comprehensive Questions: Our physiotherapists inquire about your pain, its origins, and its impact on your life. We discuss your goals and delve into your medical history.
2. Physical Examination: A thorough examination follows, confirming the diagnosis and providing a detailed understanding of your body's needs.
Once your physiotherapist has provided a diagnosis, together we will come up with a rehabilitation plan on how best to manage the problem.
