Massage at Camden

We cater for a wide range of clients and therefore offer a wide range of massage therapies. Whether it's a good deep sports massage for after squash, or a gentle aromatherapy massage to ease away the tensions of the week, our massage therapists are here to help. Late evening appointments and Saturday mornings are the most popular times, so if this is your preferred time it is recommended to book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Holistic massage
Massage is one of the oldest and simplest form of medical treatment. It uses therapeutic touch to manipulate and relax the muscles and soft tissues of the body, relieving tension and bringing the body into a relaxed state. Based on the Swedish system, it treats the 'whole' person rather than isolated symptoms.

Can help: general aches and pains, relieve tension, reduce anxiety, promote sleep, aid relaxation.

Deep tissue massage
A deep tissue release suitable for everyone, not just sports men and women. It is more of a therapeutic treatment than purely relaxation. It often focuses on particularly tight areas, in relation to the rest of the body. Involves myofascial and trigger point release.

Can help: Deep tension, trigger points, chronic conditions

Sports massage
A deep tissue massage aimed at improving circulation, eliminating the build up of lactic acids and preventing accumulated stiffness from training or working repetitively. Some people choose to have a sports massage regularly to reduce the effect of regular training or working positions. Others have it to reduce an acute tightness from time to time.

Can help: Muscle recovery, injury prevention

Aromatherapy
A form of massage based on the use of essential oils. Essential oils derive form the flowers, bark branches, rind or roots of plants with purported healing properties. The choice of oils will differ with each massage, as they are blended each time to the individual's need.
(Add £5 to normal massage prices)

Can help: relaxation, stress, insomnia, emotional problems.

Reflexology
Reflexology involves applying pressure to feet and hands. The therapeutic technique is assessed on the basis of zones and reflexes and is used for the relief of tension both in the feet and corresponding areas.

Can help: a whole range of conditions in all areas of the body. Particularly relaxing after that stressful day.

Indian Head Massage (IHM)
IHM is a deeply relaxing treatment which includes massage of the upper back, neck, head and face. It is performed fully clothed in a seated position. Oils can be used if required.

Can help: Neck tension, shoulder strain, headaches, insomnia, eye strain

All  massage therapies can be 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes or 90 minutes.  If it is your first time to the clinic, we recommend at least 45 minutes.

Each type can be gentle, medium or firm pressure so please state your preference when you arrive.

If you are unsure which type of massage would suit you, the massage therapist will guide you.
