There are many diseases as well as just e.g. overuse and those listed above that cause muscle pain and if you are in any doubt you should go and see your doctor.

Muscle pain alone can get unbearable. But, how long it lasts depends on why and how your issue has arisen.

Myalgia is muscle pain that is often causes from overuse of a muscle group. It can however present for other reasons such as viral infection so the key is to read the information on this page and if your symptoms tie in with any other causes of muscle pain, then you should probably seek the opinion of your doctor.

It depends on your personal situation. We may use deep tissue work, or we may use a more gentle Swedish massage technique.
If you choose to have the Intensive Muscle Release massage then we will tailor your massage around your personal needs.

A deep tissue massage will address muscular tensions, aces and pains. Or we may select a more soothing approach which stretches tight muscles and fascia. It all depends on the cause of your pain.

Whichever way we decide to work though, you can be assured that you’re booking a deeply restorative treatment which we’ll specifically design around your tight, stressed and aching muscles. Whether it’s due to heavy exercise or too long sitting at your desk, when you push yourself to your limit, muscle pain is common because your body will become stiff, tight and painful.

If we decide to add in some Swedish massage techniques combined with cross muscle fibre massage we’ll also stretch and drain toxins that have been lying dormant in muscle knots dispersing the build up of lactic acid that may also cause stiffness and pain.
This is an intensive massage that works deep into stiff, tight aching muscles to instantly stretch out pain and tension.

Yes. Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a post workout muscle tightness (and pain) that may occur if you’ve essentially overdone exercise. So, you’ve given your body a burst of exercise that it isn’t used to. A good way to think about this is when you burn your hand, you pull your hand back and ball it up to get away from the shock as fast as possible. Your muscles do the same thing. Except that because muscle fibres are sticky, they don’t recoil as easily.

Very often these muscle aches can be in one area e.g. hamstring, piriformis or trapezius. Wherever the pain may manifest depends on which massage styles will be best for your pain relief. For instance, if it’s pain caused from your legs, hips or you have lower back pain, then we may stretch out your hamstrings and/ or piriformis. Your shoulders (trapezius) may require more deep tissue massage work.
