Both are great—used for different goals.

Choose Massage Therapy when you need…

  • Stress relief + sleep support (Swedish/light flow).
  • Stubborn knots in neck/shoulders/back (deep tissue/trigger points).
  • Better mobility for desk-related tension (myofascial work + gentle mobility).

Choose Physiotherapy when you need…

  • Rehab after injury (sprains, tendinopathy, post-surgical guidelines).
  • Strength + movement retraining (individualized exercise plans).
  • Return-to-sport progressions and load management.

Blending both

Many clients alternate: physio for diagnosis/exercise progressions, massage for pain modulation and tissue quality.
