FAQ

What’s the difference between remedial and sports massage?
Remedial massage focuses on treating specific muscular-skeletal issues like back pain or sciatica. Sports massage is more targeted towards injury prevention and recovery — helpful for athletes and anyone with physical strain.

What conditions can massage therapy help with?
Massage is effective for back pain, sciatica, muscular tension, postural problems, and general physical stress. It also helps with overall relaxation and wellbeing.

Is massage therapy painful?
It can feel intense at times — particularly deep tissue work — but it shouldn’t be unbearable. I always work within your comfort levels and check in during the session.

Do I need a referral from my GP?
No GP referral is required. If you have a health condition you’re unsure about, we’ll discuss it before booking. However, I am obliged to state that anyone considering seeking massage therapy is advised to firstly consult with their GP.

How should I prepare for my massage session?
Just show up on time. I provide everything you’ll need — towels, water, etc. You don’t need to bring anything.

What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear something comfortable and easy to change out of. You'll be appropriately covered throughout the treatment.

How long is a typical massage session?
Sessions are usually 1 hour. You’ll find full pricing on the Treatments page.

How many sessions will I need?
It varies. Some people feel better after one or two sessions, others need a longer-term approach. If tackling a specific problem - after this has improved, most people benefit from ongoing preventative appointmentts every 4-6 weeks. We’ll discuss what’s best for you.

Can I book a massage if I have a medical condition or injury?
In most cases, yes — especially for muscular-skeletal issues. Very occasionally, treatment might not be appropriate straight away. I’ll always discuss this with you properly first.

Are you qualified and insured?
Yes. I’m trained in Deep Tissue and Remedial Massage, with five years of experience teaching other massage practitioners. I work solo in a professional, multi-practitioner clinic.

Do you offer home visits or mobile massage?
No — all treatments are done in my clinic.

What’s your cancellation policy?
Please give as much notice as possible. I’ll explain the full cancellation policy when we arrange your appointment.

Is massage therapy suitable for everyone?
Generally yes, but not always. Pregnant clients must speak to me before booking. Under-16s must have a parent or guardian present. (I hold an Enhanced DBS Check)

Can massage help with stress or anxiety?
Yes. Although I focus on physical issues, many people find a general relaxing-style massage helpful for reducing stress and calming the nervous system.

How do I book an appointment?
Bookings are by phone. You’ll find full details on the Contact page.
