Services
Remedial Massage
Our remedial massage therapy targets muscular pain and dysfunction through tailored techniques. Therapists use deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release to improve mobility and reduce chronic pain. This evidence-based treatment addresses sports injuries, postural imbalances, and everyday aches while promoting circulation and accelerated recovery.
Prenatal Massage
Specially adapted massage therapy for expectant mothers using dedicated pregnancy tables. Addresses common discomforts like back pain, sciatica, and swelling while promoting relaxation. Our certified therapists use side-lying positions or specialised equipment to ensure comfort and safety during all trimesters of pregnancy.
Deep Tissue Massage
Focused treatment using sustained pressure to release chronic muscle tension. Therapists employ slow strokes and deep finger pressure to break fibrosis and improve mobility. This technique effectively reduces scar tissue, enhances circulation, and addresses long-standing muscular imbalances from repetitive strain or poor posture.
Sports Massage
Performance-focused massage tailored to athletes' needs. Combines pre-event energising techniques with post-event recovery work to enhance performance and reduce injury risk. Treatments target sport-specific muscle groups, improve flexibility, and accelerate recovery from training or competition through enhanced circulation and tissue repair.
Trigger Point Therapy
Specialised treatment addressing myofascial trigger points that cause referred pain. Therapists apply sustained pressure to hyperirritable muscle knots to alleviate pain patterns and restore normal function. This technique effectively resolves chronic pain conditions by breaking the cycle of muscle spasm and tension.

Wow! The difference between aching shoulders and neck and feeling loose, limbered and ready to face the world was a one hour treatment. Many thanks, Sally, and particular thanks for arranging my appointment on short notice during what was a very busy afternoon for you.

Regular treatments with Sally keeps pain and surgery at bay... having suffered a shoulder injury and all kinds of treatment to repair the damage, it is Sally that keeps me pain free and able to manage. She is without doubt the best masseuse, I look forward to each session with her knowing that when I leave I will be in much better physical health and relieved of stress!
