Sports Massage vs. Remedial Therapy: What’s the Difference?
If you’ve Googled “muscle up sports massage” or “remedial therapy near me,” you’ve probably seen both terms thrown around.
So what’s the difference?
Sports Massage
Focuses on performance, recovery, and injury prevention
Great for athletes and gym-goers
Often used pre-event (to stimulate) or post-event (to recover)
Targets overworked muscles and fascia
Remedial Therapy
Focuses on treating pain and dysfunction
Great for office workers, weekend warriors, or anyone with chronic tension
Addresses postural issues and soft tissue injuries
More clinical and assessment-driven
At Melbourne Soft Tissue Therapy, we combine both. Why? Because most clients need a blend of performance care and remedial attention.
Why "Muscle Up" Matters
We called it Muscle Up for a reason. Our approach isn’t about relaxation. It’s about getting your tissue to:
Slide and glide freely
Handle more load without pain
Recover faster between sessions
This isn’t fluff. It’s deep, precise, and tailored.
