Services
Sports Massage
Our sports massage treatments target muscle tension and injuries through deep pressure techniques. Designed for athletes and active individuals, this therapy improves circulation, reduces recovery time, and prevents future injuries. Our Level 4 qualified therapists use positional release techniques to address specific musculoskeletal issues while maintaining client comfort.
Deep Tissue Massage
This intensive treatment focuses on realigning deeper muscle layers to relieve chronic pain and stiffness. Using slow, firm strokes, our therapists address postural imbalances and repetitive strain injuries. Particularly effective for back pain, neck tension, and sports-related muscle damage, each session includes postural analysis and corrective exercise recommendations.
Myofascial Release
Specialised technique targeting connective tissue restrictions causing pain and limited mobility. Our practitioners use sustained pressure to release fascial adhesions from injuries or poor posture. This evidence-based approach improves range of motion and addresses chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis and shoulder impingement through both manual treatment and mobility exercises.
Hot Stone Massage
Luxurious treatment combining heated basalt stones with traditional massage techniques. The stones' warmth relaxes muscle tension while enhancing circulation and promoting deep relaxation. This holistic therapy balances physical benefits with stress reduction, particularly effective for general wellness and chronic muscle tightness in a calming spa environment.
Pregnancy Massage
Gentle, supportive treatment tailored for expectant mothers' changing needs. Using specialised positioning and modified techniques, we address common pregnancy discomforts like lower back pain and swollen ankles. This therapy promotes circulation, reduces stress hormones, and provides emotional support through nurturing touch during all stages of pregnancy.
