About
My focus is on healing the underlying root cause of your symptoms
Whether you’re seeking relief from the strains of athletic performance, targeting specific areas of tension with Sports and therapeutic Massage, or aiming to enhance your overall well-being with Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), I am here to guide you on your journey to optimal health.
Benefits of Massage Therapy
Who would benefit from Deep Tissue Massage Therapy?
Office Workers
People who spend long hours sitting at a desk can benefit from deep tissue massage to alleviate tension in the neck, shoulders, and lower back caused by poor posture and repetitive motions
Athletes
Particularly those engaged in strength training or high-impact sports, as deep tissue massage helps to break down adhesions and scar tissue, promoting faster recovery and reducing the risk of injury
Chronic Pain Sufferers
People dealing with chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia or arthritis can find relief through deep tissue massage, as it helps to release tight muscles and improve circulation, reducing pain and stiffness
Post-Surgery Patients
Individuals recovering from surgery often experience muscle tightness and limited range of motion. Deep tissue massage can aid in breaking down scar tissue, restoring flexibility, and improving overall recovery
Stress and Anxiety
Deep tissue massage can be beneficial for those experiencing high levels of stress or anxiety, as it promotes relaxation and releases tension stored in the body, leading to a sense of calm and well-being
Migraine and Headache sufferers
Deep tissue massage focused on the neck, shoulders, and head can help alleviate tension headaches and migraines by reducing muscle tightness and improving blood flow to the affected areas
And Sports Massage?
Runners
Sports massage can help runners by improving flexibility, reducing muscle soreness, and preventing injuries by targeting areas prone to tightness such as the calves, hamstrings, and IT bands
Swimmers
Swimmers can benefit from sports massage to address shoulder and upper back tension, improve range of motion, and enhance performance in the water by promoting better muscle function and reducing the risk of overuse injuries
Cyclists
Sports massage can aid cyclists in recovery from long rides by reducing muscle fatigue, improving circulation, and preventing the buildup of lactic acid. It also helps maintain flexibility in the hips, thighs, and calves, preventing tightness and imbalances
Golfers
Golfers can benefit from sports massage to improve flexibility and range of motion in the shoulders, hips, and spine, leading to smoother swings and better overall performance on the course
Weightlifters
Sports massage can help weightlifters recover from intense workouts by reducing muscle soreness, promoting muscle relaxation, and enhancing flexibility, allowing for better muscle recovery and growth
Team Sports Players
Athletes involved in team sports such as soccer, basketball, or football can benefit from sports massage to address specific muscle imbalances, reduce the risk of injury, and enhance overall performance on the field or court
Oncology Massage
Oncology massage is a specialised massage technique tailored to support individuals undergoing cancer treatment or recovering from cancer. It focuses on gentle, soothing touch to promote relaxation, reduce pain and other treatment side effects, and enhance overall well-being.
Oncology massage works with the lymphatic system and can help to reduce swelling that can be a side effect from treatments.
Individualised Approach
Treatment is tailored to the individual’s specific needs, including cancer type, treatment history, and current health status.
Gentle Touch
Oncology massage is generally not a deep tissue massage due to the potential for harm to individuals undergoing treatment.
The technique emphasizes light touch and mindful pressure to avoid causing further harm or exacerbating symptoms.
Medical Guidance
It’s important to consult with a medical professional, such as an oncologist or primary care physician, before receiving oncology massage, especially if you are currently undergoing treatment.

Testimonials
What my clients say
Best massage ever!
Amelia – Twickenham
I have been going to Penny for sports massages for 7 years. Some years ago I had sharp stabbing pain in my lower back when sleeping, walking and general movement for one and a half years. Penny resolved the problem through her musculo-skeletal knowledge and accurate targeting of the problem. I have recommended others to Penny, and now that they have found what proper massage feels like!
