Massage FAQ Orihuela Costa
Find answers to common questions about massage, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, appointments and home visits at M&SMT. Whether you’re choosing a treatment, looking for information about home visits or simply have a question before booking, you’ll find the most common answers below.
GENERAL QUESTIONS
Which treatment is right for me?
If you’re not sure which treatment to choose, don’t worry. We can discuss how you’re feeling, your activity level, any areas of tension or restricted movement and what you would like to achieve. From there, I can recommend the most appropriate treatment for your individual needs.
Do I need to be in pain to book a treatment?
No. Many clients book treatment for muscular tension, stiffness, recovery, relaxation or simply to help maintain comfortable movement. You don’t need to wait until something becomes painful before booking an appointment.
Do I need to be an athlete to book a sports massage?
No. Sports massage isn’t only for professional or competitive athletes. It can be suitable for gym-goers, runners, golfers, cyclists, active people and anyone experiencing muscular tightness, stiffness or restricted movement.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement. Depending on the area being treated, you may be asked to adjust or remove some clothing, but your comfort and privacy are always respected.
MASSAGE & TREATMENT QUESTIONS
What is the difference between sports massage and deep tissue massage?
Sports massage is often tailored around physical activity, training, movement and recovery, while deep tissue massage focuses more specifically on persistent muscular tension and deeper layers of soft tissue. There can be overlap between the two, and techniques may be adapted depending on your individual needs.
Does massage need to be painful to be effective?
No. Effective treatment does not simply mean using the strongest possible pressure. Pressure and techniques are adjusted according to your comfort, the area being treated and how your body responds throughout the session.
How often should I have a massage?
There is no single schedule that suits everyone. Some clients book when muscular tension builds up, while others include massage more regularly as part of their training, recovery or general wellbeing routine. Frequency can be discussed based on your individual needs.
Can different treatment techniques be combined?
Yes. Treatment does not have to follow one fixed routine. Depending on your individual needs, different hands-on techniques and movement-based approaches can be combined within your session where appropriate.
PHYSIOTHERAPY & REHABILITATION
What happens during a physiotherapy assessment?
Your appointment begins with a conversation about your symptoms, movement, activity and relevant history. Movement and function can then be assessed to better understand what may be contributing to your problem and to help determine an appropriate treatment or rehabilitation approach.
Can rehabilitation exercises be part of my treatment?
Yes. Where appropriate, your treatment may include exercises or movement-based strategies designed around your individual needs, goals and current level of function.
Can treatment help me return to sport or regular activity?
Treatment and rehabilitation can be adapted around your activity and goals. The focus may include restoring comfortable movement, gradually rebuilding capacity and supporting your return to the activities that are important to you.
