What is massage?

As well as standing on its own as a therapy, we believe massage can be the perfect complementary therapy to osteopathy. For example, when used regularly for people with complex and long-standing musculoskeletal conditions.

There are many types of massage. Our team of experienced massage therapists offer the main forms: sports and remedial, as well as offering pregnancy massage.

Sports Massage

Sports massage is for the treatment and prevention of sporting injuries. It’s designed to alleviate the stress and tension that builds up in the body’s soft tissue during physical activity. It can also help prevent those niggling injuries that can get in the way of performance and achievement. You’ll struggle to find a serious athlete who doesn’t have regular sports massages.

If you have an injury, our sports massage therapists will be able to advise you on whether you should also see our sports osteopath.

Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is designed to tackle areas that are sore, stressed, tense and painful. It’s also good for relief from the mental and physical stresses and strains of modern life, and can help you sleep at night while giving you more energy during the day.

Pregnancy Massage

Many women leave their pregnancy massage until the final weeks of pregnancy. Almost everyone who does says they wish they’d started sooner. You’re allowed to enjoy your pregnancy with deep relaxation and a positive attitude, free from aches and pains. Don’t leave it until you’re stressed and achy… we’ll keep you feeling awesome right the way through.

Professionalism and safety

What to expect during your first appointment

Your first appointment

During your first appointment we’ll talk to you about your health and life, including your medical history, diet and exercise habits.

We’ll also discuss which areas need to be massaged, and whether you need one massage or two, or an ongoing treatment plan.

Andrea

"I met with Gavin yesterday, he managed to put a name on what has been causing me chronic back pains for over a year (whereas I was given out a printout from my GP with painkiller prescription), as well as soothing the pain with a few exercises and a bit of acupuncture. Not only did he save my week, and probably my back, he cheered me right up."
