This is where I write about massage, pain, recovery, and how bodies actually work. No trends. No overcomplicated explanations. Just clear thoughts based on what I see every week in the treatment room.
People often ask whether they should book sports massage or deep tissue massage. I’ll be honest, the label matters far less than people think. Massage is hands on work with muscle and connective tissue. What matters is how I adapt pressure, pace, and technique to your body on the day. I offer one massage treatment and tailor each session to what you actually need, not a category on a menu.
I came across this Guardian article and it echoed so much of what I see in practice, that massage creates real shifts in pain, stress and how the body feels.
Massage and dry needling work together to ease stubborn lower back pain by targeting muscle tension, fascia restriction and stress patterns that keep pain stuck. At my studio in Sissinghurst, treatments focus on freeing movement, calming the nervous system and helping you live without that constant ache. Evidence-based, hands-on and tailored to how your body moves.
