What therapeutic massage does
Massage therapy has long been used by athletes to aid recovery from muscle strain and overuse. Non-athletes can enjoy the same benefits of professional bodywork. The hands-on manipulation of muscles, tendons and ligaments helps clenched muscles let go, and most people leave a session feeling looser and calmer than when they arrived.
A session is also simply an hour set aside for yourself, which for many people is reason enough.

What people tell us
People commonly tell us that regular massage helps them:
- Ease muscular tension and stiffness — often alongside acupuncture for ongoing low back pain
- Move more comfortably and feel more flexible — see massage for neck and shoulder pain
- Wind down from a demanding week, which pairs well with acupuncture for anxiety and everyday stress
- Sleep more easily; reflexology suits people who would rather stay clothed
Reflexology
Reflexology is a form of massage that focuses on the feet and is based on the principles of acupuncture and acupressure. Reflexology maps out the entire body on the bottom of the feet, where different parts of the foot correspond to different organs or parts of the body. The reflexologist uses thumb pressure to stimulate these areas, with a focus on problem spots or symptomatic areas. The entire foot is massaged as well as the hands.
Most people find reflexology deeply relaxing. If it is your first visit, what to expect from a first massage answers the practical questions.
Our articles cover the complaints we most often work on: neck and shoulder pain, neck injury after a collision, frozen shoulder, lateral hip pain and recovery for active people. For widespread pain and sensitivity, see fibromyalgia, where we keep the pressure deliberately light.
As with all our work, massage and reflexology are complementary therapies rather than a substitute for medical care.
