How do I know if I need physiotherapy or massage?

If you have an acute injury, suddenly hurt yourself or are in pain then most likely you need to see a physiotherapist. If you have symptoms such as inflammation, swelling, pins and needles, pain specific to an area or have limited range of motion then you should see a physiotherapist to address these issues. If you are free of the above symptoms, and only have mild discomfort and the majority of your symptoms are related to tight muscles across a large area of your body, then you are more likely to benefit from massage therapy. Please note that our physiotherapists regularly use massage therapy as a modality in their treatment sessions and can refer you on to remedial massage therapy if required.
