Think your posture is fine? Most people get this wrong.

Posture isn’t just about sitting up straight, it’s about how you hold your body throughout the day.

Some of the most common mistakes I see:
• Looking down at your phone for long periods
• Sitting at a computer without support
• Slouching into the sofa or chair
• Letting your shoulders round forward
• Staying in the same position for too long

These habits place constant strain on your neck, shoulders and back, often leading to tightness, discomfort and reduced movement over time.

Making small changes, like adjusting your screen height, taking regular breaks and being more aware of how you sit and stand, can make a big difference.

And if tension has already built up, massage can help release it and get your body moving more comfortably again.

What if you didn’t have to wait for your next massage to feel better?

Most people only get relief when they come in for a massage.

But what happens in between?

Tension builds back up.
Tightness returns.
That same area starts bothering you again.

That’s exactly why I’ve introduced 1:1 Self-Massage Coaching.

Instead of relying on occasional treatments, you’ll learn how to manage your own tension day to day.

You’ll be shown exactly what to do for your body, so when something starts to feel tight or uncomfortable, you know how to deal with it.

It’s about giving you the tools to stay on top of your body, not just react when it gets bad.

Self-Massage Coaching is now available.

Travel days take more out of your body than you think.

Long journeys aren’t just tiring, they’re hard on your body too.

Lifting heavy bags.
Standing in queues.
Sitting for long periods.
Walking more than usual.

All of this can lead to tight shoulders, a stiff back and tension building throughout your body.

Self-massage during your journey can help ease small areas of tension before they build.

And once you arrive, a massage can help release that built-up tightness, improve movement and get your body feeling more comfortable again.

Travelling soon or just arrived?
Book your massage or learn self-massage techniques to support your body.

Taking a couple of days off

The clinic will be closed for a couple of days while I take some time to spend with family.

I’ll be back in the clinic Wednesday 25th and ready to help with all those tight shoulders, aching backs and areas of tension.

If you’d like to book an appointment for when I return, you can still send a message and I’ll get back to you.

Never had a massage before and not sure what to expect?

Your first massage appointment is designed to help you feel comfortable and supported from the moment you arrive.

Welcome
When you arrive you’ll be welcomed into the clinic and given time to settle in.

Consultation
We’ll spend a few minutes talking about how your body is feeling. This is your chance to explain any areas of pain, tension, injuries or health conditions so the treatment can be tailored to you.

Treatment explained
Before we begin, I’ll explain how the treatment will work and answer any questions you may have.

Preparing for the massage
You’ll then be left in the room to prepare yourself for the massage in privacy. Once you’re ready, I’ll knock on the door before coming back into the room.

During the massage
Throughout the treatment I’ll check that the pressure feels comfortable for you.

After the massage
Once the treatment finishes, you’ll be given time to relax on the bed and get up when you feel ready. It’s recommended to drink some water afterwards to help reawaken your body.

When you’re ready, you can join me in reception before heading off feeling a little more relaxed.

If you’ve been thinking about trying massage but weren’t sure what to expect, message me to get booked in.

Massage therapy is finally being recognised for what it really is.

For a long time, massage was mostly associated with spas and relaxation.

But massage therapists work directly with the muscles and soft tissues of the body, helping to reduce tension, support movement and improve how the body functions.

Because of this, more people are now turning to massage not just to switch off, but to support their overall health.

Massage is increasingly being recognised as something that can support both physical health and mental wellbeing, not just relaxation.

If your body needs support, book your massage and start feeling the difference.

Self-care Sunday.

After a busy week, taking time to look after your body matters.

Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be simple things that help your body reset and recover from the week.

A few ideas for today:
• Gentle stretching
• A short walk
• Self-massage for tight areas
• Drinking plenty of water
• Taking time to properly rest

These small habits help release tension, support recovery and prepare your body for the week ahead.

Looking after your body regularly makes a difference to how you feel day to day.

And if your body needs a deeper reset, message me to book your next massage.

A little about the person behind The-Massage-Therapist.

My name is Nikki.

I’m originally from Manchester, England, and moved to Benalmádena around five years ago.

I’ve been qualified in massage for over 16 years, and it’s a career that started because of my own experience with pain.

I used to receive deep tissue massages regularly to help with ongoing shoulder pain. Experiencing how much difference those treatments made to my body is what led me to train and become a massage therapist myself.

Now I get to do that for others.

What I love most about my job is being able to help people relax, release built-up tension, move more freely and in many cases become pain free.

Helping people feel better in their body is what makes this work so rewarding.

If you’d like to experience a treatment for yourself, send me a message to get booked in.

Four months ago I opened my massage clinic.

Although I’ve been running my massage business in Benalmádena for over four years, opening a clinic space was a big step.

It meant taking a risk, committing to a place of my own and trusting that the next stage of the business was the right move.

Now, four months later, I can honestly say it’s been a dream come true.

Having a dedicated space to welcome clients, help people with pain, tension and recovery, and continue growing the business means a lot to me.

And none of it would be possible without the people who support it.

To everyone who books treatments, recommends me, shares my posts or tells friends about the clinic, thank you.

Your support genuinely means so much.

If you haven’t visited the clinic yet, message me and come and experience it for yourself.
