Frequently asked questions

Not just a tool for professional athletes, massage therapy provides numerous advantages for both body and mind for everyone. It can alleviate muscle tension, boost circulation, relieve pain, and aid relaxation. Moreover, it can reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall well-being.

The ideal frequency of massage sessions varies based on individual needs and goals. Some benefit from weekly massages to tackle chronic pain or stress, while others may find monthly or bi-monthly sessions sufficient as an all-over ‘MOT’. Our skilled therapists can recommend a customised schedule for you.

We customise every treatment and take a holistic approach using a range of techniques including Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone and sports. Our therapists will discuss the best options for you during your initial free consultation.

Holistic massage is an approach that considers the entire person—mind, body, and spirit. It combines various massage techniques to release tension, reduce stress, and restore balance. Holistic massage can benefit anyone, especially those looking for a nurturing experience that enhances well-being on multiple levels.

Sports massage is a type of massage specifically designed to support athletes and active individuals. It targets muscle groups and connective tissues, promoting flexibility, reducing the risk of injury, and enhancing performance. Unlike regular massage, sports massage often includes techniques like deep tissue manipulation, stretching, and trigger point therapy, all tailored to an individual’s activity level and physical needs.

Our initial consultation helps determine your needs and goals. If you have a specific injury, experience chronic pain, or are training for an athletic event, sports massage may be beneficial. For stress relief, relaxation, or general well-being, a holistic massage might be more suitable.

Afterward, you’ll receive a customised massage based on our discussion. We’ll explain everything beforehand, and you can ask questions at any time.

Wear comfortable clothing and make sure to hydrate before your session. It’s also best to avoid heavy meals immediately before. If you’re training or recovering, avoid strenuous activity right before your massage.

Many clients feel deeply relaxed and experience reduced muscle tension. Some may feel slightly sore if they’ve had deeper work done, but this usually subsides within 24–48 hours. Drinking water, resting, and doing gentle stretches can help alleviate any post-massage soreness.
