Frequently Asked Questions
Is massage therapy effective for sports recovery?
Yes. Sports massage is one of the most well-evidenced applications of therapeutic massage. It reduces DOMS, supports soft tissue repair, and helps maintain physical performance between training sessions.
What type of massage is best for muscle tension and stress?
It depends on the primary concern. Swedish massage is excellent for stress relief and improving overall circulation. Deep tissue massage is more appropriate for chronic muscular tension, knots, and restricted movement. Your HEAL therapist will assess your needs during the initial consultation and apply the most effective approach, or combine techniques within a single session. This personalised assessment is available at HEAL Stanmore.
Does massage therapy help with chronic pain and poor circulation?
Research supports massage therapy as a beneficial complementary treatment for both. For chronic pain, including lower back pain, tension headaches, and repetitive strain injuries, regular sessions help reduce muscular guarding, improve mobility, and decrease pain sensitivity over time. For circulation concerns, massage stimulates blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which can reduce swelling and support tissue recovery.
How much does massage therapy cost at HEAL?
Pricing for massage therapy at HEAL starts from £65 for 1 hour. Further information is available on our pricing page and booking system. Contact our team for details on current session rates and any available packages.
How often should I get a massage for chronic pain or stress?
For most clients managing chronic pain, weekly sessions in the short term followed by a fortnightly or monthly rhythm tends to produce the best sustained results. For stress management and general wellbeing, a fortnightly or monthly cadence works well for many people. If you are recovering from a specific injury or post-event muscle soreness, your therapist will recommend a more intensive initial schedule. A personalised recommendation will be made after your first session at either clinic.
Can I combine massage therapy with other HEAL treatments?
Yes, and we recommend it. Massage pairs particularly well with infrared sauna (booked after massage to deepen muscular relaxation) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (to accelerate circulation and soft tissue repair). Your therapist or the HEAL team at either our St Albans or Stanmore clinic can help you design a combined programme suited to your goals.
