Desk & posture
Sports massage, 30 minutes
Deep, specific work on one area with Tom: calves after a run, shoulders after a week at a screen.
Within 48 hours; desk visits within 10 days
Plate IV, fig. 1The plate
What it is, in plain words.
Thirty minutes is one area done properly: calves and hamstrings for runners, the upper back and shoulders for desk workers, a lower back the week after a long drive. Tom asks what you have been doing, works deep where it is needed and lighter where it is not, and tells you if what he finds needs an osteopath instead.
Blocks of six 30-minute massages are £198 (£33 each). Members get 10% off.
Rated 4.9 by 84 massage patients last year (demonstration data)
What should I wear?
Something loose you can move in. For a back or hip we may ask you to strip to underwear or wear shorts; we have shorts and a gown, a towel covers you, and you can keep leggings on if you prefer. You can bring someone with you. Say what you are comfortable with and we work around it.
