Massage Therapy at Ten

Hi; I'm Ruth - Head of Massage Services, at Ten Health and Fitness. This video explains our massage therapy service, and how the right treatment can support your body, your recovery, and your wellbeing. Massage covers a wide spectrum - from spa-style relaxation; to the precise, targeted work you'd get from manual healthcare professionals; and everything in between. At Ten, we believe expertise and comfort should go hand in hand. Our team have some of the highest qualifications in soft tissue therapy - meaning our therapists will treat clinically; and with clear purpose - but always with a feel-good touch, that makes it genuinely enjoyable. Every session works toward a specific goal - usually one of three things. Firstly, relieving pain and supporting injury recovery, through treatment and education; Secondly, aiding recovery from heavy training or exercise load; or finally, resetting the nervous system to ease the stress response that can stem from work, home, or general life. Whatever brings you in - we start by identifying what's driving your discomfort. Then build a plan to resolve it - combining manual therapy; education; home care advice; and referrals where needed; so the results actually last. Every appointment starts with getting to know you and your expectations. Your therapist takes an evidence-led approach - shaped by your history; your goals; and how your body feels that day. This will happen through a few questions, and may include assessing your movement; posture; strength; or areas of tenderness. No two treatments are exactly the same. Your therapist will adapt their approach to what is most effective, and what feels right for you. While there may be some points of discomfort when working through problem areas, it should always stay within a comfort level you, and your therapist, agree on together. When you book with us, you don't need to worry about picking the "Right" appointment, our standard Sports Massage covers almost every need. For more specific circumstances - we also offer specialty services for pregnancy, scar rehabilitation, and lymphatic drainage. Scar therapy in particular is still fairly unknown, so if that's relevant to you, we have a separate video that covers it in more detail. Including how it's always gentle; carefully timed; and can help improve the appearance, sensation, and comfort of a scar. Massage Therapy is part of our wider Circle of Care. When we flag that another service will help achieve your goals more effectively - we will refer you towards physiotherapy; clinical exercise; Pilates; or personal training - guiding you seamlessly so you are never wondering what the next step is. Whether your goal is getting back to running; playing with your kids without discomfort; sleeping better; or simply feeling more at ease in your body - treatment is always tailored around the outcome that matters most to you. We want you to leave feeling better than when you arrived - with results built to last, not just a quick fix. If you'd like to learn more, you can make an appointment through our website, or just speak to our team.
