Sports & Remedial, Deep Tissue, Pregnancy & Post-natal , On-Site Chair and Swedish massage

I am an Edinburgh-based SMTO registered Massage Therapist in Sports & Remedial, Deep Tissue, Pregnancy & Post-natal, On-Site Chair and Swedish massage, and CORE Fascial Release.

Incorporating a range of remedial techniques, which include trigger point therapy and myofascial release, my treatments aim to reduce pain and tension and increase range of motion. Beyond changing physical structures and tissues, I believe it is important to give clients the tools to further their own recovery, to cue them in how to take care of their body and mind by integrating good habits and practices which can aid injury prevention and restore their physical and emotional well-being. A crucial part of healing and recovery is relaxation and rebalancing, which is why all of my treatments will incorporate some elements of a relaxation massage. I also provide soft tissue massage services for Sport Scotland Institute of Sport.
