How is your remedial massage different from a typical spa massage?

Unlike spa massages that focus on relaxation, our remedial massage is a tailored therapeutic approach to relieve pain, injuries, and chronic conditions. We use kinesiology to assess your body’s needs, myofascial chains (inspired by Thomas Myers’ Anatomy Trains) to restore balance, and lymphatic drainage to support detoxification. Combined with deep tissue, trigger point therapy, ancient Chinese techniques, infosomatics, and acupressure, we enhance energy flow, mental clarity, and physical vitality, making our approach unique in the UK.

Can you help with chronic conditions like arthritis or sciatica?

Yes, we specialize in relieving chronic conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, hernias, and back pain. Our holistic approach, using remedial massage, deep tissue, spinal work, kinesiology, and energy healing, often delivers significant relief in 2-3 sessions, improving mobility and overall well-being.

Can you treat complex syndromes that traditional medicine struggles with?

Absolutely. We excel in managing complex syndromes that may not respond well to conventional treatments. Using kinesiology, myofascial release, energy healing, and infosomatics, we target root causes to restore balance and vitality non-invasively, often seeing improvements in 2-3 sessions.

What is deep tissue massage, and who is it for?

Our deep tissue massage uses firm pressure and slow strokes to target deep muscle layers, relieving chronic pain, tension, and stiffness. It’s ideal for athletes, those recovering from injuries, or anyone with back or neck discomfort, improving mobility and reducing stress.

How does sports massage benefit athletes?

Our remedial sports massage is designed for everyone seeking deep muscle work to enhance performance, improve endurance, and achieve their physical goals. Whether you're an athlete or an active individual needing muscle relief.

What is kinesiology, and how is it used in your treatments?

Kinesiology assesses movement, posture, and muscle function through muscle testing and biomechanics. We use it to identify imbalances, tailor treatments, and support injury recovery, mobility, and pain relief.

What is lymphatic drainage massage, and how does it help?

Lymphatic drainage massage uses gentle, rhythmic techniques to reduce swelling, detoxify the body, and boost immune function. It enhances circulation and relaxation, ideal for those with swelling or fatigue.

Can visceral massage help with digestive issues?

Yes, visceral massage targets the abdomen to improve organ function and digestion. Gentle techniques release tension, enhance circulation, and support detoxification, helping with bloating and abdominal discomfort.

How does energy healing work at DAOS Clinic?

Our energy healing, including chakra assessment and infosomatics, balances your energy levels to release emotional blockages, reduce stress, and promote physical healing. This approach restores mental clarity and vitality.

How much does a session cost?

What should I expect during my first visit?

Yes, we accept both cash and card payments. Payment is due at the time of service.

Can your treatments help with stress or emotional balance?

Yes, our relaxation massage, energy healing, and holistic counseling reduce stress, promote mental clarity, and restore emotional balance. Techniques like acupressure and infosomatics release tension and harmonize the nervous system.

Is massage safe after surgery or with scars?

Massage can be safe for post-surgical recovery or scars, depending on your condition. Inform us of any surgeries or medical issues during your consultation so we can customize treatments, using gentle techniques like lymphatic drainage if needed.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

We understand that our clients may be dealing with pain or mental tiredness, so we’re flexible with cancellations and rescheduling. If you’re feeling unwell, even 30 minutes’ notice is sufficient to cancel or reschedule without penalty. For no-shows, we’ll reach out to check on you and offer to reschedule for another day. If no-shows without notice happen repeatedly, you may need to pay for the missed session to continue treatment, or we may pause bookings until payment is settled.
