Services
Sports Massage
Sports Massage enhances athletic performance and recovery through targeted techniques that increase flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and prevent injuries. Ideal for athletes and active individuals, this therapy addresses overuse injuries and prepares muscles for physical exertion. Regular sessions improve circulation, accelerate tissue repair, and maintain optimal muscular function.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage focuses on realigning deeper muscle layers to alleviate chronic pain and stiffness caused by postural imbalances or repetitive strain. This technique breaks down adhesions, releases toxins, and restores normal movement patterns. Beneficial for office workers, drivers, and gardeners experiencing neck, back, or shoulder discomfort.
Remedial Bodywork
Remedial Bodywork combines soft tissue manipulation with stretching techniques to treat specific injuries like sprains, tendonitis, and sciatica. By improving joint mobility and breaking down scar tissue, this therapy accelerates recovery from acute or chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Personalised exercise programmes enhance long-term results.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy targets hyperirritable muscle knots causing referred pain and restricted movement. Applying sustained pressure to these points releases tension, improves blood flow, and alleviates symptoms like headaches and joint stiffness. Effective for treating repetitive strain injuries and postural imbalances.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage uses long strokes and kneading movements to promote relaxation and reduce stress-related muscle tension. This gentle technique enhances circulation, eases mental fatigue, and restores emotional well-being. Recommended for clients seeking a therapeutic yet calming treatment experience.

I have been seeing Annie for few years now and strongly recommend her services. Annie listens and works with you to make sure you get the best out of the session with her. Every time I go there with niggles I come out feeling lighter and ready to carry on with my training.

After years of suffering pain from an arthritic knee which was so debilitating I started having sports massage. Annie is extremely knowledgeable and professional. After just a few sessions my mobility has improved more than I imagined possible a few months ago and I am also pain free which is wonderful. It's all down to Annie such a lovely lady.

I found Annie on a friend recommendation. I have had hip surgery and although almost rehabilitated my Physio recommended a sports massage. Annie is knowledgeable and found the areas to work on straight away. She provided me with information and exercises to go away and do which have helped considerably. Annie is friendly, experienced and I would highly recommend her!

I was recommend Annie by a family friend as my shoulders and neck cause me problems. Annie is friendly, knowledgeable and has definitely helped to relieve tension and pain. After the session, she also gave me some tips and exercises to keep on top of the problems. I would highly recommend Annie!

I started treatments with Annie early in 2018 to improve my posture and mitigate stiffness & pain in my back & neck. It has been a long process but I have seen improvements in my range of movement and I'm taking fewer painkillers. Working together, try different things, we have found exercises that work for me in between my visits. Recommended.
