Question 3

Is a sports massage painful?

Accepted Answer

A sports massage may cause some discomfort, both during the session and after. However, treatment should not feel "painful" and result in the client having to tense up to bear the discomfort. Whilst some discomfort is completely normal and to be expected, an important balance must be achieved to not diminish the purpose of the massage, that is to reduce muscle tension and aid recovery.

At JD x PMT, we regularly check in with clients regarding pressure levels to ensure client comfort is maintained and a duty of care is upheld. Treatments are also adjusted based on client feedback throughout the session.

Question 4

How do I know if I need a massage?

Accepted Answer

Many clients seek our services for multiple reasons, some of which are listed below:

Weekly musculoskeletal health and well-being maintenance.
Feeling aches and/or a build up of tension in muscles or joints.
A recent injury or chronic condition causing ongoing discomfort.
Management of stress or anxiety.
Experiencing a decrease in performance capabilities.

Question 5

How often should I get a massage?

Accepted Answer

The answer to this question depends on the individual lifestyle of each client. The more physically active you are, the more massage therapy will benefit your musculoskeletal health by managing built-up muscle tension and the mental and physical demands of an active lifestyle. For example, a professional athlete who trains intensely multiple times a week will require more frequent treatment than a casual gym goer.
​
We recommend the following as a guideline:

A performing artist, athlete, or regular gym goer who is training intensely, multiple times per week, would benefit from a minimum of two weekly massage treatments.
An economically active individual who is a 'casual' gym goer would benefit from one weekly or fortnightly treatment.
