Conditions Treated

Massage therapy
for your condition

Alex treats a wide range of musculoskeletal, sports, and wellbeing conditions. Select your condition below to learn more.

Back Pain

Back pain is the most common reason people seek massage therapy. Whether it's acute tension or chronic, long-standing pain, targeted massage can provide significant and lasting relief.

4–6 sessions recommended for chronic back pain; single sessions for acute episodesLearn more →

Neck Pain

Neck pain is increasingly common in our screen-heavy world. Whether caused by posture, stress, or sleeping position, massage therapy can significantly reduce neck pain and restore comfortable movement.

3–5 sessions recommended; many clients notice improvement after the first sessionLearn more →

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can severely limit daily function and quality of life. Massage therapy addresses the soft tissue components of shoulder dysfunction, working alongside medical treatment when required.

4–8 sessions depending on chronicity and severityLearn more →

Stress & Anxiety

Chronic stress and anxiety create real physical effects — muscle tension, shallow breathing, poor sleep, and elevated cortisol. Massage therapy addresses both the physical and neurological components of the stress response.

Regular monthly or fortnightly sessions recommended for ongoing stress managementLearn more →

Sports Recovery

Elite athletes and weekend warriors alike benefit from regular massage as part of their recovery strategy. Massage accelerates the recovery process and reduces the time between training sessions.

Post-event within 24–48 hours; regular maintenance every 2–4 weeksLearn more →

Headaches

Tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches (arising from the neck) are among the most common conditions treated successfully with massage therapy. Many clients experience immediate relief.

2–4 sessions typically provides significant and lasting improvementLearn more →

Sciatica

Sciatic pain — shooting pain, numbness, or tingling down the leg — can arise from piriformis syndrome, disc issues, or lumbar muscle tension. Massage therapy can significantly reduce symptoms in many cases.

4–8 sessions, working alongside medical management where appropriateLearn more →

Insomnia

Poor sleep is both a cause and consequence of muscle tension and elevated stress. Massage therapy improves sleep quality through multiple physiological pathways.

Regular monthly sessions recommended; evening appointments can be particularly effectiveLearn more →

Frozen Shoulder

Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) is a painful condition that significantly limits shoulder movement. Massage therapy plays an important role in managing pain and maintaining mobility during all stages.

6–12 sessions over the course of treatment, working alongside medical managementLearn more →

Plantar Fasciitis

The sharp, stabbing heel pain of plantar fasciitis is notoriously difficult to shift. Massage therapy that addresses both the plantar fascia and the contributing calf and hip muscle tightness can significantly accelerate recovery.

4–6 sessions alongside stretching and load managementLearn more →

Massage for Runners

Running creates unique demands on the body — and unique injury patterns. Regular sports massage for runners prevents common injuries, enhances performance, and keeps you training consistently.

Pre-race tune-up, post-event recovery, and regular maintenance every 3–4 weeksLearn more →

Massage for Cyclists

Cycling's extended periods in a fixed position create specific muscle imbalances and overuse patterns. Sports massage tailored for cyclists addresses the unique demands of road, mountain, and commuter cycling.

Regular sessions every 2–4 weeks during training season; post-event recovery after long ridesLearn more →

Desk Workers

Prolonged sitting and screen use creates a predictable pattern of muscle tightness and pain. Massage therapy tailored for desk workers addresses the specific patterns created by modern office life.

Regular monthly or fortnightly sessions; many desk workers see this as essential maintenanceLearn more →

Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain affects millions of people and is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Massage therapy is one of the most effective non-pharmacological treatments available.

4–6 sessions for chronic lower back pain; single sessions can provide significant acute reliefLearn more →

Upper Back Pain

Upper back pain between the shoulder blades is a common complaint, particularly among those who spend time at a desk. Massage therapy can provide rapid and lasting relief.

3–5 sessions for persistent upper back pain; often resolves quicklyLearn more →

Muscle Tension

Chronic muscle tension is the body's response to stress, overuse, and poor posture. Left unaddressed, it contributes to pain, fatigue, and reduced quality of life. Massage is one of the most effective treatments available.

Regular sessions recommended; frequency depends on lifestyle factorsLearn more →

IT Band Syndrome

Iliotibial band syndrome (runner's knee) causes sharp lateral knee pain and can stop athletes in their tracks. Massage targeting the TFL, glutes, and lateral hip structures is a key component of recovery.

3–6 sessions alongside load management and hip strengtheningLearn more →

Tennis Elbow

Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) causes debilitating pain on the outside of the elbow. Massage therapy to the forearm, elbow, and upper arm is a proven treatment for this stubborn condition.

4–6 sessions alongside progressive loadingLearn more →

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia's widespread pain, fatigue, and sensitivity requires a gentle but effective approach. Massage therapy at appropriate pressure levels can meaningfully improve quality of life for fibromyalgia sufferers.

Regular gentle sessions; frequency adjusted based on flare-up patternsLearn more →

Arthritis

Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can benefit significantly from appropriate massage therapy — reducing pain, improving joint mobility, and enhancing quality of life.

Regular sessions (fortnightly or monthly) as part of ongoing managementLearn more →

Poor Posture

Poor posture isn't just about appearance — it leads to chronic pain, reduced breathing capacity, and long-term joint changes. Massage addresses the muscle imbalances driving postural dysfunction.

6–8 sessions as part of a comprehensive postural correction programmeLearn more →

Whiplash

Whiplash-associated disorders can cause months of pain and restricted movement. Massage therapy during the sub-acute and chronic phases is an important component of whiplash rehabilitation.

4–8 sessions; avoid deep work in the acute phase (first 72 hours)Learn more →

Fatigue

Persistent fatigue — whether from overwork, chronic illness, or burnout — responds well to regular massage therapy. Both the physical and mental aspects of fatigue can be meaningfully improved.

Regular fortnightly or monthly sessions as part of a wider recovery strategyLearn more →

Knee Pain

Knee pain often arises from muscle imbalances and tightness in the structures around the joint — making massage a highly effective component of treatment for many knee conditions.

4–6 sessions alongside strengthening and mobility workLearn more →

Hip Pain

Hip pain can arise from a wide range of causes — from tight hip flexors and piriformis syndrome to bursitis and osteoarthritis. Massage addresses the soft tissue components effectively.

4–6 sessions depending on the underlying causeLearn more →

Chronic Pain

Chronic pain changes the nervous system and creates complex patterns of sensitisation, guarding, and compensatory movement. Massage therapy works across multiple mechanisms to provide meaningful relief.

Regular ongoing sessions as part of a multidisciplinary pain management approachLearn more →

Shin Splints

Medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints) is a common running injury that responds well to massage combined with load management and progressive return to activity.

3–5 sessions alongside gradual return to runningLearn more →

Piriformis Syndrome

Piriformis syndrome causes deep gluteal pain and often mimics sciatica. Direct piriformis release is one of the most effective treatments for this frustrating condition.

3–6 sessions; often responds well to direct treatmentLearn more →

Rotator Cuff

Rotator cuff injuries — strains, tendinopathies, and partial tears — are among the most common shoulder problems. Massage addresses the soft tissue component of rotator cuff rehabilitation.

4–8 sessions alongside progressive shoulder rehabilitationLearn more →

Poor Circulation

Poor circulation causes cold hands and feet, muscle fatigue, and slow recovery. Massage therapy mechanically improves circulation and supports the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems.

Regular monthly sessions; combining with daily movement maximises benefitsLearn more →
