Services
Sports Massage
Targeted sports massage addresses muscle tension and injuries through specific techniques, enhancing recovery and performance. Ideal for athletes and active individuals, it improves circulation, reduces pain, and restores mobility. Our therapists adapt pressure and focus areas to individual needs and tolerance levels.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Gentle rhythmic techniques stimulate lymph flow, aiding detoxification and immune function. This therapy benefits those with swelling, post-surgery recovery, or chronic fatigue, promoting relaxation and reducing fluid retention through specialized skin movements.
Pregnancy Massage
Tailored prenatal massage alleviates back pain, swelling, and stress during pregnancy. Performed in a side-lying position, it uses gentle techniques to enhance comfort and wellbeing for expectant mothers from the second trimester onwards.
Scar Tissue Therapy
Specialist massage techniques improve scar flexibility and reduce discomfort from surgery or injury. This treatment addresses adhesions and tightness, promoting tissue regeneration and functional recovery for scars up to 12 months old.
Temporomandibular Joint Therapy
Targeted therapy for TMJ disorders releases tension in jaw muscles and connected fascia. Combining intra-oral and external techniques, it alleviates pain, clicking, and headaches caused by jaw misalignment or bruxism.

Had an amazing Pregnancy massage with Nicky! I've had a few other pregnancy massages at other venues in my early pregnancy - whilst they were relaxing and calm. I seeked out TLC as in my 3rd Tri I needed a massage that was really going to work through my aches and pains of pregnancy to provide that well needed relief. Prior to pregnancy I was a big fan of sports and deep tissue massages so wanted something similar.
Nicky was so knowledgeable in this area, and totally made me feel at ease. She understood the growing complexities of the pregnant body and where to focus to provide that well needed
