As massage therapists, one of our top goals is having our clients rebook our services. We aim to build strong practices with a full schedule of regular clients. But, this is not always an easy feat. Whether it’s a lack of confidence to ask or we just don’t know the right words to say, sometimes getting the client to rebook is a challenge.
Running is one of the toughest, most rewarding, and most physically demanding forms of exercise. Any runner will understand that aching feeling that comes after a hard run, but not everyone knows that a professional massage therapist can pinpoint the cause of that pain and help relieve the discomfort and promote healthy muscles and peak performance. Massage can help both to prepare for and to help recover from intense workouts, and can be an important addition to a runner’s routine.
Massage is as therapeutic as it is relaxing. There is nothing quite like laying back and allowing your tense muscles to be worked into a totally stress-free state. But with so many different massage choices out there, how do you know which one to go for?
A couples massage is one of the most romantic ways to treat yourself and someone special. It’s a shared experience that makes you feel bonded and brings you closer together. The act of touch fosters intimacy and nurtures your relationship by providing a physically relaxing and restorative experience.

When it comes to addressing pain in the body, there are a huge range of options on the market. Whether you’re into holistic health, alternative therapies, traditional methodologies or modern medicine, there is something out there for you.

Sciatica is the term used to refer to pain along the sciatic nerve . Sciatica pain occurs when nerve roots that make up the sciatic nerve become pinched or compressed. It starts in the lower back, follows through the hips and buttocks, and down the legs along the sciatic nerve pathway. Approximately 40% of people will experience a sciatic episode in their lifetime. Typically, it affects only one side of your body and can range from mild to severe. It may be accompanied by numbness, tingling or weakness in the affected leg and foot.

There are many benefits of massage therapy. We’ve explored a few of them in previous blogs – massage for lower-back pain , for sleep , for immunity , and more. Whenever we’re feeling sore, stressed, or sluggish, an idea we always seem to be coming back to is “I need a massage.” Many massage therapy benefits are already known to us: they’ve been tried and tested. It seems as though we all know someone who gets regular enough massages to make the rest of us a bit jealous. Their back is never sore, their stress never goes unchecked. And they always seem to have really good posture.
A lot of families have a naughty corner, but what about the opposite? A wellness retreat should have a place in your home as well.

It should be the place you go to when you need to work through your emotions, unwind and de-stress, to balance and centre yourself and realign your goals.
Massage therapy is an immensely rewarding field. We have the opportunity to contribute and make a real impact on the health & wellbeing of individuals and society. However, as with any industry, massage therapy also comes with its challenges. Particularly with mobile massage, there are occasions when a small minority of clients demonstrate inappropriate behaviour during the booking. While our customer care team have a thorough process in place to vet such bookings, there are still rare occasions when these type of bookings slip through the cracks. You can find details about our client vetting process here.
