Both types of treatment help to get people out of pain…

If you don’t want to do any rehab exercises then I would tell you to get a sports massage. Just bear in mind that a massage will only give you short-term symptomatic relief, as it doesn’t change how you move.

But if you want somebody to show you how you can…

– Correct mechanical compensations which may have led to the issue arising in the first place. If not addressed these pre-disposing factors, can increase the risk of the same injury happening again.

– Optimise how you move so that mechanical compensations, don’t slow the healing process down.

Then you are better off seeing a sports therapist.
