How to choose the right type of massage

Not sure which massage to book? Start with what you want to get out of the session.

To relax

Swedish and aromatherapy massage use long, gentle strokes and are a good first choice.

For tight, knotted muscles

Deep tissue and trigger point work target stubborn tension. Expect firmer pressure and tell your therapist if it is too much.

For training and recovery

Sports massage helps before and after events and during heavy training weeks.

Tips before you book

  • Say if you are pregnant, have an injury or take medication.
  • Check the therapist’s qualifications and any association membership.
  • Ask about hygiene, cancellation and parking.
