What is Sports Massage?

A sports massage is a highly tailored treatment designed to enhance circulation, flexibility, and range of motion while easing pain and inflammation. Whether you’re recovering from a sporting injury or managing day-to-day postural tension, this hands-on approach works to restore balance and movement.

Using a variety of advanced massage techniques, sports massage boosts blood flow to muscles and surrounding tissues, releases tight fascia, and supports overall performance and recovery — helping you move more freely and feel your best every day.

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage (MLD)?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, rhythmic therapy that encourages the natural flow of lymph throughout the body. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in detoxification and immune function, helping to reduce inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and fluid retention.

MLD supports a wide range of health conditions and symptoms, including:

  • Fibromyalgia and related pain conditions
  • Endometriosis and hormonal issues
  • Digestive concerns
  • Lymphoedema and Lipoedema
  • Migraines and histamine intolerance
  • Post-surgical recovery
  • Lymph node removal and cancer rehabilitation

Often used alongside other holistic therapies, MLD is as restorative as it is therapeutic — supporting both recovery and overall wellbeing.

I recommend this treatment to everyone I meet.

I visited Alice last Saturday for a lymphatic drainage massage. I have ME and had read it might be helpful. From first communicating with Alice, I felt at ease. Lovely to meet her in person on Saturday and instantly knew I would be going back for more treatments! The massage was the most relaxing I’ve ever experienced, extremely gentle. Alice is very knowledgeable and talked me through what she was going to do as well as making me feel completely comfortable. I have found myself more energised, something I don’t say very often and I’m already looking forward to my next TREATment, it really was a treat! ♥️

What is Hot Stone Massage?

Hot Stone Massage is a deeply soothing treatment that uses the warmth of smooth volcanic stones to melt away muscle tension and promote deep relaxation. The gentle heat allows the therapist to work deeper into the muscles and surrounding tissues without the need for intense pressure.

Perfect for easing aches, pains, and inflammation, this treatment can be enjoyed on its own or combined with deep tissue or relaxation massage for the ultimate restorative experience.
