Massage Therapy in Sheffield

There are many different approaches and styles of massage. In our Sheffield based therapy room we offer a range of different massage therapies to suit all needs whether easing aching muscles, supporting recovery from injury, or providing a space to nurture body-mind connection and reduce stress.

​​

Often times, its easy to get caught up everyday life and miss the messages our bodies send us. For those living with pain or difficult physical or mental health conditions,  sensitivity to our bodies can become hyperactive or numbed.

​​​

Massage can help us to get in touch with our bodies; to understand where physical symptoms may be linked to internal thoughts and feelings thereby improving not just physical health, but bringing balance to mental well-being too.​​​

​

Our approach to massage is holistic, intuitive and client centred which means that rather than following a set routine, we take into consideration your physical, emotional and spiritual needs and are guided by you to create a personalised  treatment that is individual to you. In practice this means that you can choose which areas you'd like to include in your session, as well as the pressure and techniques that will suit you. We offer different styles of massage on our booking page:

​​

Remedial & Deep Tissue Massage

Focused on working with specific muscular issues or pain, this type of massage uses a combination of soft tissue techniques to work with deeper layers of muscle and fascia  and may involve myofacial release, trigger point therapy, breathwork and stretching, passive joint mobilisation and friction techniques to release tension, improve mobility and reduce pain and aid recovery from injury. This type of massage usually target specific areas of concern as opposed to working with the whole body.

​

Relaxation & Therapeutic Massage

With relaxation massage,  our goal is to provide you with time out from the world. A combination of techniques are used to stimulate the para-sympathetic nervous system, the benefits of which include reduced heartrate and blood pressure, improved digestion, improved sleep and release of feel good hormones all of which can help to reset the nervous system and improve mental health. Pressure can still be firm and muscles with of course benefit from this treatment but the intention is more about relaxation.

​​

Trauma Informed Massage

Trauma informed massage is designed to support those who have experienced trauma, stress, or emotional overwhelm. This treatment recognises how trauma can be held in the body and creates a safe, consent-led space
where you are always in control. Every aspect of the session is guided by clear communication, sensitivity, and respect for your boundaries. The massage itself can be as light or as deep as you feel comfortable with, and can
focus on specific areas of tension or provide general relaxation and nervous system support.

​

Hot Stones Massage

​Hot stones massage works as an addition to relaxation or deep tissue massage. In a hot stones session, smooth volcanic rocks are heated and used as an extension of the therapists hands to massage heat into the muscles. The sensation is soothing and calming whilst the warmth can help to release tension more quickly and allow deeper work with less discomfort. Hot stones can be added to any of our massage therapies with Claire or Lauren at for no additional cost.

​

It may be that what you really need is a mixture of these styles which we are happy to accommodate. Book the session which feels most appropriate and add any details about how you'd like to tailor your session in your consultation. We offer sessions of 60 or 90 minutes.

​​​

What to Expect

​All of our massage sessions begin with an online consultation form in which you can discuss your reasons for booking and what you'd like to get out of your appointment. At the beginning of your appointment, there is time to discuss in person anything you don't feel comfortable adding to your online consultation.

​

​​​​At your appointment you'll be asked to lay on our comfortable massage table. Your level of undress in a session is your choice . You will always be given privacy for changing and will be covered modestly during your massage. You may choose from a selection of delicious smelling aromatherapy oils ( we have unscented oils available too). Your therapist will carry out your personalised treatment.

​

We offer hot and cold water and a selection of herbal teas for you to enjoy before and after your massage.
