Five Star Reviews From

Over 3,000 patients

I have both chiropractic treatment and sports massage here and the reduction of my back pain is unbelievable! Rob is especially friendly and the way he explains what the treatment is actually correcting is useful in understanding what my body is doing.

My massage with Themis was fantastic. He was attentive, made me feel completely comfortable, and applied the perfect pressure throughout. The whole experience was great. Themis is professional and truly knows his craft. I’ve already booked my next massage .

Christine Davison

My wife and I have been seeing Hannah for massage treatments over the last couple of months. My wife started treatment with her having had neck and shoulder issues for the last couple of years. Since seeing Hannah, her neck issues have improved immeasurably.

I’ve been going to Willow Chiropractic for massage therapy, and it has been a game-changer for my recovery and overall well-being. Annie has always made the booking process smooth and hassle-free, always friendly, warm and efficient. Hannah, my massage therapist, is incredible—she’s helped massively with my knee pain, especially when squatting, and has made a real difference in my recovery from both my hectic lifestyle and personal training sessions. The whole experience is professional, welcoming, and truly effective. Highly recommend!

Since having the massages it has helped gain comfort and movement in my muscles that I have not had for many years. Also all the staff are very nice and easy to talk to.

Your treatment is tailored to you

No two people carry tension in exactly the same way.
Before treatment, your therapist will take time to understand:

Where you're experiencing discomfort
How long symptoms have been present
Your lifestyle and daily activities
Any previous injuries or concerns
What you'd like to achieve from treatment

This allows us to focus treatment where it can make the biggest difference.

Massage therapy or chiropractic care?

This is one of the most common questions we hear

Massage therapy and chiropractic care both aim to help you feel and move better, but they focus on different things

Massage therapy focuses on muscles and soft tissues, helping to reduce tension, improve circulation and support recovery. Chiropractic care focuses on how the spine, joints and nervous system are functioning, helping improve movement, reduce restriction and address underlying mechanical issues.

Many patients benefit from a combination of both. If you're unsure which approach is right for you, our team can help guide you towards the most appropriate starting point.

Massage therapy frequently asked questions

1Is massage therapy painful?

Massage therapy shouldn't be painful, although some areas of tension may feel slightly uncomfortable when being worked on. Your therapist will always adjust the pressure to suit your comfort level and will check in with you throughout the session.

2How long is a massage appointment?

All massage appointments are 30 minutes.

3What techniques are used during massage therapy?

Your session may include a combination of techniques designed to release tension, improve circulation and support movement. Pressure can be adjusted throughout treatment to ensure you're comfortable throughout the session.

4How many massage sessions will I need?

This depends on your goals. Some people book a massage when they're feeling particularly tight, stressed or uncomfortable and find one session provides significant relief. Others benefit from more regular treatment, especially if they're dealing with ongoing muscular tension, physically demanding jobs, regular exercise or recurring areas of tightness. We'll always discuss your goals and help you decide what feels right for you.

5How often should I have massage therapy?

This depends on your goals. Some people benefit from occasional treatments when they're feeling particularly tight or stressed, while others choose regular sessions to support exercise recovery, manage ongoing tension or maintain their overall wellbeing.

6Should I choose massage therapy or chiropractic care?

Massage therapy focuses on muscles and soft tissues, while chiropractic care focuses on the spine, joints and nervous system. If your symptoms are primarily muscular, massage therapy may be a good place to start. If you're experiencing persistent pain, stiffness, reduced movement or recurring problems, a chiropractic consultation may be more appropriate. Many patients benefit from a combination of both.

7Can massage therapy help with back pain?

Massage therapy can help relieve muscle tension, reduce stiffness and improve comfort in many people experiencing back pain. However, if your symptoms are persistent, severe or affecting your daily life, a chiropractic consultation may help identify whether there's an underlying mechanical issue contributing to the problem.

8Can massage therapy help with neck and shoulder tension?

Yes. Neck and shoulder tension is one of the most common reasons people book massage therapy. treatment can help reduce muscle tightness, improve movement and relieve the discomfort that often builds up from desk work, stress or everyday activities.

9Can I have massage therapy alongside chiropractic care?

Absolutely. Massage therapy and chiropractic care often work very well together. While massage helps address muscle tension and soft tissue restrictions, chiropractic care focuses on improving joint movement and overall function.

10Do I need a referral for massage therapy?

No. You can book a massage appointment directly without a referral. If we feel another service would be more appropriate for your needs, we'll always explain your options and help guide you towards the right care.
