I am so excited to be offering hot stone massage starting this week!!
I have performed hot stone massage for many years now and have always enjoyed how quickly the heat works to relax muscles. It's like having a spa, you feel warm for the rest of the day!

It was an honour to be interviewed for this article. Great to see fellow athletes still pushing themselves to achieve at high levels.

They do it for their health, they do it to compete, they do it because it feels good. They always want to win. Time may be slowing down our 60-plus athletes but, really, you'd hardly notice.

How often should you get a massage?
Massage frequency and duration depends on the type of massage you want, the area you want targeted and whether there are any underlying health problems like pain or injury. As a general rule of thumb we advise no rolling or trigger pointing with ‘self massage’ techniques for 24-48hours after you’ve received a therapeutic or deep tissue massage.
The frequency of your massages also depends on how well your body responds to your first treatment. When it comes to massage therapy for pain management you might need a weekly or fortnightly massage to start with, and then move to a monthly one once progress has been made.
If regular massages aren’t in your budget, our therapists will also be able to teach you some self-massage techniques to perform at home.
