Massage Treatments
Customised Care for Your Unique Needs
Every client is unique, and so is each massage treatment. After an initial chat to discuss your specific needs, goals and any areas of concern, I’ll create a tailored treatment plan using a combination of techniques best suited for you. Whether you’re seeking pain relief, improved mobility, or relaxation, I’ll draw from my full range of skills to provide the most effective and supportive experience possible.​
Massage Types​
​​
Relax and Recovery Massage
This restorative massage is designed to support your body’s recovery from physical fatigue and stress without the intensity of deep tissue work. Using light to moderate pressure, it calms the nervous system, eases muscular tension, boosts circulation, and helps your body reset after periods of exertion or overwhelm. Whether you’re recovering from training, navigating a busy schedule or feeling the effects of ongoing stress, this treatment helps you bounce back faster and feel more like yourself again.
​
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is a targeted therapeutic approach that aims to identify and treat specific areas of pain or dysfunction. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, muscle injuries, or general discomfort, remedial massage uses a combination of techniques to address the underlying cause and promote healing. My approach is personalised to each client, providing a blend of techniques, including deep tissue, to meet your specific needs.
​
Remedial Massage with Magnesium & MSM Lotion
This enhanced remedial treatment combines targeted therapeutic techniques with a high-potency magnesium and MSM lotion to provide deeper support for tired, tight, or aching muscles. In addition to relieving pain and tension, magnesium helps calm the nervous system and ease muscle soreness, while MSM supports healthy joints and connective tissue. This treatment can help reduce cramping, improve comfort, and support your body’s natural healing processes.
​
Remedial Massage with Hot Stones
Remedial massage with hot stones combines the therapeutic benefits of remedial massage with the soothing warmth of heated stones. The heat helps to soften tight muscles, improve circulation, and allow for deeper, more effective pressure without the discomfort often associated with deep tissue work. This treatment is ideal for those experiencing chronic tension, stress, or simply needing a deeply restorative experience. It offers both muscular relief and nervous system support, helping you unwind while still addressing areas of tightness and dysfunction.

Remedial Massage with Hot Stones and Magnesium/MSM Lotion
This ultimate restorative treatment combines the therapeutic warmth of hot stones with the muscle-supporting benefits of magnesium and MSM for deeper relief and recovery. Together, the warmth enhances absorption while the magnesium supports relaxation at a cellular level, creating a powerful combination of muscular release and whole-body restoration. Ideal for ongoing tension, physical fatigue, stress-related tightness, or when you simply need deeper therapeutic support, this treatment offers both immediate relief and longer-lasting recovery benefits.

Some of my techniques include;
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy targets tight spots within muscle fibers that cause pain and tension. By applying targeted pressure to these points, I help release muscle knots, relieve referred pain, and improve flexibility and range of motion.
Myofascial Release (MFR)
Myofascial release focuses on the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs. Using gentle, sustained pressure, this technique helps relieve tension in the fascia, promoting pain relief, increased range of motion, and overall muscle function.
Cross Fiber
Cross-fiber massage involves working perpendicular to the muscle fibers to break up adhesions, scar tissue, and restrictions. This technique is especially beneficial for injury recovery and improving the mobility of tissues, enhancing flexibility and reducing pain.
PNF & MET
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) and Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) are techniques that use stretching and muscle contractions to improve flexibility and joint mobility. These techniques are highly effective for enhancing range of motion, restoring function, and supporting injury recovery.
IASTM
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) is a targeted technique using specialised tools to release tight fascia, break down scar tissue, and improve mobility which is ideal for stubborn tension or old injuries.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, helping to release tight muscles, increase blood flow, and encourage relaxation. It’s a great complement to other massage techniques, providing a deep release and helping to alleviate pain.
Sports/Kinesio Taping
Taping supports muscles and joints while promoting natural movement. It’s designed to reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and aid in recovery by encouraging circulation and reducing strain. This versatile technique is suitable for anyone experiencing muscular or joint issues, whether from everyday activities or physical exertion.
Percussion Therapy
Percussion therapy uses a handheld device to deliver rapid bursts of pressure to muscle tissue, helping to reduce soreness, improve flexibility, and promote relaxation. It’s a great option for those looking to relieve muscle tension quickly and effectively.
