Whether you’re dealing with tension from training, tight shoulders from work, or simply need a moment to unwind — massage therapy can make a genuine difference to how your body feels and functions.
My treatment room, located in the peaceful top floor of The Old Bank in Llangollen, offers a calm, private space where you can take time out and give your body the attention it deserves.
Massage isn’t just about relaxation. It’s a hands-on way to support your physical wellbeing — helping to ease tight muscles, improve mobility, reduce pain, and support better posture and movement. For many people, regular massage becomes part of how they stay active, recover well, and move more freely.
Who Is Massage For?
Massage is for anyone who moves — whether you’re on your feet all day, training for an event, or just feeling a bit out of sync. You don’t need to be injured or stressed to benefit. I regularly work with runners, cyclists, busy professionals, parents, and those simply looking for some time to reconnect with their body.
How It Works
Every session is personalised. We’ll start with a brief chat about how you’re feeling and what you’re hoping to get from the treatment. I’ll adapt the approach and pressure depending on your needs — whether that’s deep, focused work or something more restorative.
Massage may help with:
Muscular aches, tension, or stiffness
Limited range of movement or joint tightness
Stress, fatigue, or feeling mentally ‘foggy’
Recovery from training, events, or busy periods
Ongoing niggles that haven’t resolved on their own
You’re always in control of the session — I’ll check in as we go and make sure the treatment is working for you.
Massage AfterCare
To get the most benefit from your massage, it’s important to look after yourself afterwards — your body will be processing the treatment, even once you’ve left the room.
Hydrate well. Massage helps stimulate the lymphatic system and encourages the release of waste products from your muscles. Drinking plenty of water supports this process and can help you feel more energised. It’s also completely normal to feel tired, emotional, or slightly off-balance for a short while — your body is simply responding to the shift.
Getting changed: We’ll chat beforehand about what’s appropriate to undress based on the area we’re treating. I always leave the room while you change and provide a privacy screen. You’ll never be asked to remove more clothing than you’re comfortable with — we’ll adapt the treatment so you feel relaxed and at ease throughout.
Take your time getting up. After the session, especially after deeper work, you might feel a little light-headed or spaced out. This is normal — just sit up slowly and take a moment before standing.
Post-massage movement: Gentle activity is fine if you feel up to it, but be aware that your muscles might feel looser, heavier, or even a bit sore the next day — similar to how you might feel after a good workout. This usually settles within 24–48 hours.
Everyone responds differently, so take note of how you feel and give yourself time to recover fully. If anything doesn’t feel right, or if you have any questions at all, please feel free to get in touch.
Positive effects to look out for post-massage:
Improved sleep
Reduced muscle tension
Greater range of motion
A sense of calm or mental clarity
Less pain or stiffness
Improved circulation and posture
After Your Assessment
Prepare, Strengthen & Stabilise
Once we have completed your assessment I will provide an athlete focused report which summarises the findings. A Full Body Assessment includes a detailed clinical report, ideal for clinicians or athletes and coaches with a good understanding of anatomy.
I’ll explain what movements are being inhibited and I’ll give you a 14 day plan so we can get you moving correctly again. It can take longer than the 14 days but every individual body has a different start, history and will adapt differently but many clients see huge improvements once they complete that 14 day plan.
With a Full Body Assessment, you are invited back for a free retest between 14 and 21 days after. The retest is a good opportunity to see how much you have improved and we can outline plans to continue to improve function, range and symmetry further.
