What Massage Therapy Involves

Registered massage therapy is hands-on treatment of muscle and soft tissue. Our treatments are targeted rather than generic: the assessment decides where the time goes.

It works well on its own and it works well alongside physiotherapy or chiropractic, which is one advantage of having all three in one clinic.

Who It Helps

People come to us with:

  • Back and neck pain, including after long periods at a desk
  • Sports and training injuries
  • Post-operative rehabilitation
  • Joint pain that has not settled on its own

What a Massage Therapy Appointment Involves

We start with a short assessment: where the symptoms are, what you do all day, and what you want from the session. That decides where the time goes, rather than a routine full-body treatment that gives ten minutes to the area that needed forty.

Pressure is your call throughout. Effective treatment does not require you to grit your teeth, and we will check in as we go.

How It Fits with Other Care

Plenty of people book massage therapy on its own and get what they need. Others use it alongside physiotherapy or chiropractic, where it does a specific job: reducing tone and restriction so the active work lands better.

Because all three are in one clinic, your practitioners can talk to each other rather than working from your description of what someone else said.
