Gentle and holistic approach to enhancing your overall wellbeing
Massage Therapy
What Is Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy is a form of manual therapy that involves manipulating soft tissue in the body to reduce stress, ease muscle tension, promote relaxation, release tight fascia and promote blood flow. Sports massage is more of a targeted remedial style massage to Swedish and Aromatherapy style massages. Many people believe that sports massage has to hurt to be beneficial. This is not true and a good therapist will work closely with the client’s tolerances. There is no point causing more pain as this increases tension.
How Can Massage Therapy Benefit You?
- Pain Relief: To alleviate chronic pain, headaches, and musculoskeletal discomfort.
- Stress Reduction: To help induce a deep state of relaxation to reduce stress and tension.
- Improved Sleep: Enhance the quality of your sleep through relaxation.
- Mental benefits: such as depression, anxiety, stress reduction, more energy.
- Reduce affects of scar tissue
- Sports injuries: reduce the incidence of sports injuries and increase the healing rate.
Is Massage Therapy Right For You?
Massage therapy is safe and beneficial to everyone of all ages. A good massage can feel fantastic leaving you relaxed, de-stressed and with less pain. Having a regular massage can help you take charge of your health and wellbeing by preventing injuries. Finding the right therapist who listens to your needs is important, as some therapists may be too heavy handed causing more pain than benefit.
Some may believe that cancer patients shouldn’t have massage as there are myths associated with it. However, Katie is oncology massage trained so know that you are in safe hands. Find out more about oncology massage here.
Always talk with your therapist if you have any concerns. A good therapist will carry out a consultation before starting any treatment.

Testimonials That Speak Volumes
Katie, your customer service is excellent. You have have taken time to understand my problem and to listen. Your diagnostic skills and follow up treatment has been amazing, and all exercises have proved beneficial and any advice that I was given will so useful to me in the long term. Thank you.
Katie's BEAT pain programme has had a significant impact on me in such a short amount of time. In just 6 weeks, I reduced my inflammatory score by 50%, I am no longer struggling with pain every day, I am no longer feeling physically sick everyday, my hair has stopped falling out, I lost 4kg without really trying and I am welcoming joy back into my life. I hadn't realised how all my symptoms were connected to my body being so inflamed and causing pain. Learning more about the link between the gut, food and pain has been so helpful. Katie is like a trusted friend who understands what I've been going through (having had first hand experience herself) and doesn't judge, but provides practical tips for making small incremental changes, based on lots of knowledge and insight. If you ask a question, she is always able to provide lots of information and additional resources to support understanding.
Having been at such a loss on what to do to help myself and reduce my pain, I strongly recommend Katie's BEAT programme for anyone struggling with chronic pain.
Katie's BEAT pain programme has had a significant impact on me in such a short space of time. I have suffered with constant, sometimes debilitating back pain for over a decade. It often affected my daily life, sometimes stopping me from undertaking and certainly enjoying daily, recreational and social activities. I have seen numerous professionals over my life from pain consultants to osteopaths.
I am a happier person and welcoming joy back into my life thanks to Katie. The whole programme has been and continues to be enlightening, educational and supportive. She has set me on a path to a happier, healthier, pain free me! But with her continued support through the membership, I still feel listened to, validated, reassured and safe.
I can't thank you enough Katie and I highly recommend her BEAT pain programme for anyone struggling with chronic pain.Went to Katie with very painful shoulder problems and after a few sessions I was well on the way to recovery. Very knowledgable and excellent service. Fully recommended.
