Treatments
I offer two main treatments: sports massage and dry cupping.
Appointments are available in 30, 60 and 90-minute sessions. Below is a brief description of what each treatment involves.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is an excellent way to ease those aches and pains that come from either sports and exercise or just day-to-day life. This type of massage is deeper than a “spa” massage, which means it can be a little more intense and may put some people off. However, when it comes to pressure, I am entirely guided by you. If it’s too much or not enough, all you need to do is say. While a sports massage can be uncomfortable at times, it should never feel unbearably painful.
30-minute massage – £30
A 30-minute massage is ideal for anyone looking to ease one area, for example, the legs or the back. Alternatively, if you’re booking your first massage, this may be a good option to start with.
60-minute massage – £40
With a 60-minute massage, you can either concentrate on one area in more depth, allowing me to focus more on any problem areas, or you could have another area treated. This duration also allows for a full body massage.
90-minute massage – £60
A 90-minute massage is perfect for a comprehensive full body treatment, allowing a good amount of time to be spent on each area. Some clients prefer the full 90 minutes to be spent on the back. This length of massage would only be advisable if you’ve had a massage before, as it could be a bit much for a first-time experience.
Dry cupping
Dry cupping is a treatment I’m often asked about, as many people are unsure of its benefits. Firstly, I must mention the marks that can be left by the cups. If you’re going on holiday, getting married, or will be doing something that involves having your shoulders, legs, etc. exposed and you don’t want cupping marks, I would advise against getting cupping within three weeks of the event, as marks can last up to 21 days.
The concept behind cupping is that it promotes fresh blood flow and healing. The cups are used to draw blood from deep within the muscles that massage may not reach as easily. People often ask if cupping hurts; while it may look painful, all you’ll feel is a slight pressure caused by the vacuum in the cup. If this becomes too intense, I simply release some of the pressure.
While the cups are in place, I will perform massage on another area. For example, if you’re having cups on the shoulders and upper back, I will massage the lower back and vice versa. With cupping, you’re getting the best of both worlds.
30-minute cupping – £35
60-minute cupping – £45
90-minute cupping – £65
Hot Stone Massage
I am delighted to announce that I will now be offering hot stone sports massage, all in the comfort of your own home. Hot stone massage is excellent for targeting deep muscle issues, as the heat helps to loosen the affected area much faster than with massage alone. This allows for better access to knots deep within the muscle, providing a more effective treatment.
I have been asked how this will work with my fully mobile service. I have a specialised case which I can plug into my car while travelling to an appointment. This allows me to heat the stones before I arrive at your location. To maintain the temperature of the stones throughout the treatment, I will require the use of an electrical socket where possible.
30-Minute Hot Stone Massage – £35
60-Minute Hot Stone Massage – £45
90-Minute Hot Stone Massage – £65
