The session
Every session is adapted to you.
I start by understanding where it hurts, how it hurts and since when, and I adapt the session to that. Beyond the muscles, I work with the nervous system to help the body relax and recover.
The same session helps relieve the pain and relax, because when the body is tense the pain is usually worse.
- 01
Before we start
I ask where it hurts, how it hurts and since when. In the first session I do a brief postural assessment.

During the massage
Deep myofascial release, joint mobilisation and work on the nervous system to help the body relax.

At the end
I explain what I found and, if it makes sense, I show you one or two simple exercises to do at home.

Coming regularly? A plan of 4 sessions for 180€, valid 3 months. The brief assessment is included in the first session.
Hands-on work relieves the tension in the moment. If the pain always comes back, there is possibly something behind it, and the full assessment is there to understand what.

His sensitivity for finding the critical points is fantastic and hard to explain, you have to try it… When it ended I felt light. I loved it and will repeat whenever I can.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Therapeutic massage is for those who want to relieve muscle pain, reduce specific tension or recover from an injury. The pressure, techniques and areas worked are adapted to each person. The session can also be relaxing, but the main goal is to reduce discomfort and improve mobility. Relaxation massage aims mainly at wellbeing and lowering stress, without a specific focus on treating pain or recovering function.
I work with different kinds of pain and limitation, above all back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, chronic pain, injuries, muscle tension, limited mobility, posture, recurring discomfort, stress-related tension and recovery after physical effort. If you have questions about your case, contact me on WhatsApp.
No. You can book a therapeutic massage directly. The full assessment is the first step of The Root of Pain programme, for those who want to resolve the cause of the problem and not just the symptom.
The 1-hour therapeutic massage costs 50€ and the 2-hour one costs 80€. If you want to come regularly, the massage plan has 4 sessions for 180€, valid for 3 months.
