A therapeutic massage addresses a specific presenting condition for example, tightness in the shoulder or neck, lower back or pain in hips and legs.
Deep tissue massage therapy usually focuses on a specific problem area. The type of problems needing to be addressed are things like chronic muscle pain or rehabilitation injury.
The prime purpose of a sports massage is to help alleviate the tension and stress built up in the soft tissues of the body during physical activity.

My shoulders feel great and I can actually move my neck. You are a Wonder Woman, massage miracle worker! My shoulders feel much better than they have done in years and I have no headache. Fantastic Kat, thank you.
Katrina is a lovely therapist who has given me a constantly great deep tissue massage, each treatment, I’ve had. She alleviated the tension in my left shoulder and unlocked the tightness in my lower back. Awesome!
Thank you Kat, for a great relaxing massage. Just what I needed. Looking forward to further treatment on my dodgy shoulders and neck. Loved that you explained each step, as I was a bit nervous initially; it helped to relax. I felt very chilled afterwards.
I booked in to see Kat for a treatment, as I had a long standing Achilles tendon injury, after pushing a vehicle. The pain in my ankle had been keeping me awake at night. Not having had a sports massage before, I didn’t know what to expect, but Kat put me at ease talking through the treatment stages. I felt the benefits immediately; the pain was much reduced and I was able to walk without my usual limp. I was also able to sleep much better. I’ve already booked in for further treatment. I wish I had gone sooner. Thanks Kat
Kat was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so glad they did as it’s the best massage I’ve ever had! I have suffered with a bad back for years and even after my first treatment, it felt miles better than it has done in a long time. Kat has a warm persona what immediately puts you
at your ease and the surroundings are very relaxing. Amazing results, highly recommended.
I went to see Kat as I was experiencing some monster headaches and I had a tight neck and shoulders (I have a desk job) and was delighted with the results. She was able to customise the treatments to my needs as well as helping me to understand why I was getting these symptoms and demonstrating some stretches I could use. Kat has a very sunny personality and I was immediately put at ease and the surroundings were very relaxing. Fabulous massage, great results, highly recommended.
