Types of massage we offer
Deep Tissue / Sports Massage
This treatment is not just for the sports person: anyone can benefit from sports / deep tissue massage, including people in physically demanding jobs and those not quite so obvious, (occupational, emotional and postural stress may produce similar characteristics to sports injuries).
Massage strokes will be alternated with trigger point, friction, sustained deep pressure, and other treatment techniques. It is one of the most effective ways to reduce the tension in your muscles and help you to move better.
Holistic Massage
The holistic approach to massage therapy can effect an individual’s whole being – physical, mental and emotional.
Holistic massage benefits the mind and body. Massage relaxes taut muscles, aids lymphatic drainage, releases toxins and benefits the whole body in many other positive ways. Physical and emotional stress can be reduced through therapeutic touch and a myriad of other restrictive problems can also be alleviated.
Pregnancy Massage
Slow, soothing, light - moderate strokes are used during this treatment .
As pregnancy can put a strain on the body, massage can help to relieve the aches and pains and common health problems associated with it such as leg cramps, fluid retention, backache and headaches.
Please note this massage can only be performed after the first trimester of pregnancy.
Do I need a massage?
Whether you play regular sports and exercise frequently or lead a more sedentary life, massage can benefit you in many ways.
A massage can help resolve pains and strains, improve movement, decrease blood pressure, reduce stress, promote sporting performance and even improve sleep patterns.

Do I need a massage or osteopathy?
This can depend on numerous factors, however, osteopaths are better at dealing with:
Muscle tears that can cause you to struggle to move the limb or have a visible bruise / swelling.
An impact or non-impact injury that makes you feel unstable in a joint.
Nerve pain - shooting pain, burning pain, numbness, or pins and needles.
The above are examples, do contact if you want to speak to an osteopath for further clarification.
