SupremeStill in pain? Told nothing's wrong?
You've rested it, stretched it, maybe seen a physio or two. It eases, then it's back. Remedial massage is for the problems that keep returning. It starts by finding what's keeping your pain going, then treats that.

The sore spot isn't the whole story.
Something keeps it going.
A tight muscle pulling on a tired one. A habit at work. An old injury the rest of your body still works around.
The body compensates.
When one area stops doing its job, others take over. Months later, the pain is somewhere else entirely.
Treat the cause, it stays fixed.
Find what's keeping it going and treat that and the problem has a reason to stay away.
More tools. Chosen for you.
Nick works out which muscles are overworked, which have switched off and where the tissue is restricted, then builds the treatment from what he finds.
Soft tissue release
Nick holds a tight muscle while it moves, to lengthen it exactly where it's stuck.
Trigger point work
Precise pressure on knots that refer pain elsewhere, like a neck that causes a headache.
Myofascial release
Slow, sustained stretch of the connective tissue wrapped around your muscles.
Assisted stretching
You gently push against Nick's resistance, then relax into a deeper stretch.
Kinesiology taping
RockTape certified. Support between sessions when it helps you stay active.
Movement & posture
Simple changes to how you sit, work and train, so the results hold.
When standard massage hasn't been enough.
Chronic pain
Pain that's been there for months or years and has outlasted rest, stretching and lighter treatment.
Recurring problems
The same back, neck or shoulder flaring every few weeks. There's a reason it keeps returning.
Nerve-related pain
Pain, tingling or numbness from tight tissue around a nerve. Sciatica and piriformis →
Posture-related pain
Forward head, rounded shoulders, a tilted pelvis. Rounded shoulders →
After an injury
Once the early stage has passed, treatment helps the rest of your body stop compensating.
Work-related pain
Desk or manual, repetitive tasks build patterns. Manual worker pain →
Three approaches. One therapist.
In practice most sessions draw on all three. Not sure? Book anyway, or WhatsApp Nick a quick description and he'll tell you which fits.
Sports massage
A sore back, tight hamstrings, a niggle from training. Assessment, targeted treatment and advice. Where most people start.
Sports massage →Deep tissue massage
Knots that come back, years of desk or driving tension, old injuries. Slower, sustained pressure through the deeper layers.
Deep tissue massage →Remedial massage
Chronic or complex problems, several areas at once, or pain you've been told is nothing. Finds what's keeping it going.

When nothing else worked. In their words.
“He has been able to help me with an underlying shoulder issue where physios, osteopaths and other massage therapists have only ever been able to provide short term relief at a more superficial level.”
Robbie · Shoulder“I felt the positive results after the first session, but after more visits I was truly surprised how much my condition has improved, it was not just a temporary pain relief but real transformation towards recovery.”
Mike · Google review“Nick has not only successfully treated my physical ailments, but has also helped me understand the underlying causes and helped me to put in place strategies to prevent the issues from reoccurring.”
Jason · Google reviewFind the cause. £80 to start.
When it breaks down, everything goes on hold. The runs you love. The game with your mates. Holidays become something to get through, not enjoy. And somewhere along the way, you get shorter with the people closest to you.

What's the difference between remedial and sports massage?
Sports massage targets a specific problem and combines treatment with advice. Remedial massage starts by working out what's keeping a problem going, then works through each contributing factor using a wider range of techniques. It suits pain that's chronic, complex or keeps coming back.
Is remedial massage right for me?
It suits long-standing pain, problems that keep returning, posture-related pain, nerve-related pain like sciatica and problems that haven't settled with other treatment. If your problem is recent and straightforward, a sports massage is probably enough. WhatsApp Nick if you're unsure.
How many sessions will I need?
For chronic or complex problems, 4 to 6 sessions is realistic, with clear progress usually within the first 2 to 3. You'll get an honest view after the first session, including if Nick thinks another practitioner would help you more.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly. If Nick thinks your problem needs medical assessment or a different kind of practitioner, he'll tell you.
How long are sessions and what do they cost?
Sessions are 60 or 90 minutes. Your first session is £80 (usually £100). After that it's £100 for 60 minutes or £150 for 90 minutes. 90 minutes suits anyone with several problem areas. Packages of 3 or 5 sessions, valid for 6 weeks, bring the price per session down. Full details on the rates page.
