FAQ'S - Common
What’s the difference between sports massage and chiropractic therapy?
Sports massage focuses on relieving muscle tension, improving mobility, and supporting recovery through hands-on soft tissue techniques. Chiropractic therapy, on the other hand, targets the spine and joints to improve alignment, reduce pain, and support the nervous system.
Do I need to be an athlete to benefit from a sports massage?
Not at all. While sports massage is ideal for athletes, it's also highly effective for anyone dealing with tension, poor posture, or day-to-day muscular aches — especially from desk jobs, manual work, or stress.
Can I book a chiropractic session without a GP referral?
Yes. You don’t need a referral from your doctor to see a chiropractor in the UK. You can book directly for assessment and treatment.
What conditions can chiropractic therapy help with?
Chiropractic care is commonly used to treat back pain, neck pain, joint issues, headaches, and sciatica. Many patients also find it helpful for improving posture, flexibility, and general wellbeing.
Is treatment painful?
Most sports massage and chiropractic techniques are not painful. Some discomfort can occur in tight or injured areas, but your comfort is always a priority, and treatments are adjusted to your tolerance level.
Can chiropractic and sports massage be combined?
Yes, and many clients benefit from both. Sports massage helps release soft tissue tension, while chiropractic adjustments restore joint mobility — working together to optimise recovery and performance.
How often should I get treatment?
It depends on your goals and lifestyle. Some clients come in weekly for performance or rehab, others every few weeks for maintenance or general wellbeing.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Loose, comfortable clothing is best. You may be asked to adjust or remove certain items depending on the treatment area.
Will I feel sore after treatment?
Some mild soreness is normal, especially after deeper work. This should pass within 24–48 hours.
FAQ'S - Sports Massage
Can sports massage help with stress?
Yes, beyond physical benefits, it can also help calm the nervous system, reduce tension, and improve overall relaxation.
Is sports massage suitable during pregnancy?
Sports massage may be adapted during pregnancy by a trained therapist. Please let us know in advance so we can tailor your session safely.
How long is a typical session?
Most treatments last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on your needs and the areas being focused on.
What should I do after a massage?
Stay hydrated, avoid intense exercise for a few hours, and give your body time to rest and recover.
FAQ'S - Chiropractic Therapy
Is chiropractic safe?
Yes, when performed by a qualified, registered professional, chiropractic care is safe and highly regulated in the UK.
Will I be ‘cracked’?
Not necessarily. Your treatment plan is tailored to you, and may include gentle mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, or manipulation where appropriate.
Can children or older adults receive chiropractic care?
Yes, chiropractic therapy can be adapted for people of all ages. We tailor the treatment to suit your stage of life and comfort level.
What happens at my first session?
You’ll have a consultation, movement assessment, and treatment if appropriate. We’ll always explain everything and get your consent before proceeding.
FAQ'S - Magnesium Flakes
How do I use magnesium flakes?
Dissolve 1–2 cups in a warm bath and soak for 20–30 minutes. For foot soaks, use half the amount in a basin of warm water.
How often can I use magnesium flakes?
Most people benefit from 2–3 soaks per week, but you can use them more often if desired.
What’s the difference between the scents or infusions?
Each blend is designed for a different effect, from uplifting and rebalancing, to calming, soothing, or recovery-focused. See our product descriptions to find your match.
Are magnesium flakes safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, magnesium chloride is generally gentle, but if you have very sensitive skin or an existing condition, do a patch test or consult a professional.
Can I use magnesium flakes after a massage or chiropractic session?
Absolutely. A soak can enhance the effects of your treatment, helping you relax and reduce any post-treatment soreness.
