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.
Always amazing treatments. Fascinating being told why I have pains and how they are all connected. Katie really knows her stuff.
Paying for Katie’s services has been without a doubt the best thing I could have done to support me with my pain journey.
Katie brings a wealth of experience to her consultations with you, however I feel the most important thing she brings is support, empathy and understanding. You do not feel alone with your symptoms, most importantly because she has been through her own chronic pain journey, which is the reason why I decided to work with her. She had been through it herself, she didn’t make silly promises, she just explained her history and the science behind it.
Read full testimonialMy name is Tom and I'm 75. I've been receiving treatment on my shoulder for a possibly related previous rotator cuff injury. On my first consultation I couldn't raise my arm above shoulder height without severe pain and had tingling in my fingers possible due to trapped nerves.
Katie did a full assessment of my injury and put together an exercise program that was really easy to follow, however she continued to research other possible causes and symptoms which meant varying the treatments.
After 6 one hour treatments which included amazing muscular massage and acupuncture the pain is now only minor and rotational movement is excellent.
Katie is most professional in her approach of understanding individual issues and I would fully recommend engaging her services.
