Book Your AssessmentPersonalized care focused on your specific needs and goals
Every treatment begins with a thorough assessment of your concerns, health history, and physical condition. This allows us to understand not just your symptoms but the underlying factors contributing to your discomfort.
Based on your assessment, we develop a personalized massage therapy plan that addresses your specific needs. Your plan may combine different techniques and approaches to achieve optimal results for your condition.
We believe massage therapy works best as part of a holistic treatment approach. When beneficial, we collaborate with our physiotherapists, osteopaths, and other practitioners to provide comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of your health.
Our therapists don't just provide hands-on treatment; they empower you with knowledge about your body and condition. You'll receive guidance on stretches, exercises, and lifestyle modifications to extend the benefits of your massage therapy between sessions.
We continually assess your response to treatment and adjust techniques accordingly. This dynamic approach ensures you receive the most effective care as your body changes and heals throughout the treatment process.
Specialised techniques delivered by skilled therapists
A gentle, relaxing technique using long strokes, kneading, and circular movements to release tension, improve circulation, and promote overall wellbeing. Ideal for stress reduction and first-time massage clients.
Targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue using firm pressure and slow strokes. Particularly effective for chronic muscle tension, injury recovery, and breaking down scar tissue.
Specifically designed for athletes to prepare for events, enhance performance, prevent injuries, and address sports-related muscle strain. Combines techniques to improve flexibility and reduce recovery time.

Beyond relaxation: how massage therapy can improve your overall health and wellbeing
Regular massage therapy lowers cortisol levels and increases production of endorphins, helping to alleviate stress, anxiety and promote better sleep patterns.
Massage enhances blood flow and lymphatic drainage, delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells while removing waste products and reducing inflammation.
By addressing muscle tension and improving flexibility, regular massage therapy can increase range of motion in joints and improve overall physical function.
Massage promotes relaxation and relieves tension, helping to improve sleep quality and address issues related to insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns.
Studies show that regular massage therapy can increase white blood cell count and enhance the body's natural defense mechanisms against illness.

Answers to common questions about massage treatments and benefits
The best massage for you depends on your specific needs, preferences, and health condition. Here's a brief guide to our most popular types:
If you're unsure which to choose, our therapists can provide recommendations during your initial consultation based on your health history, current concerns, and treatment goals. You can also call us for guidance before booking.
Your first massage session at Holistic Healthcare Clinics typically includes:
We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early for your first appointment to complete paperwork. The entire process typically takes 60-90 minutes depending on your booked treatment length.
The ideal frequency for massage therapy varies based on your goals and needs:
After your assessment, your massage therapist will recommend an appropriate treatment schedule based on your individual situation. We can also adjust the frequency as your condition changes or goals are met.
Massage therapy should not be painful in a way that makes you tense up or hold your breath. However, some therapeutic techniques can cause different sensations:
Our massage therapists use a 1-10 pressure scale and will check in regularly about your comfort. You should always communicate if the pressure feels too intense or uncomfortable. The most effective therapeutic work happens when you remain relaxed, so finding the right balance of pressure is important.
Some mild soreness for 1-2 days after a deep tissue massage is normal (similar to after exercise), but excessive pain is not a sign of an effective massage.
While massage therapy is safe for most people, there are some conditions (contraindications) where massage should be avoided or modified:
Absolute contraindications (where massage should be avoided):
Relative contraindications (where massage may need modification):
It's essential to provide your therapist with a complete health history during your consultation. Our qualified therapists are trained to identify contraindications and adapt treatments appropriately for your safety. If you have any specific health concerns, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before scheduling a massage.
