Structural Massage

Structural massage, is a therapeutic approach that goes beyond simple relaxation. It aims to address postural imbalances, chronic tension patterns, and misalignments in the body.

Structural Massage

Structural massage focuses on mobilisation of the body’s soft tissues—muscles, fascia (connective tissue), and ligaments—to bring the body into better alignment and balance. Unlike a typical relaxation massage, structural massage often involves deeper, more targeted techniques to release adhesions (knots), lengthen restricted areas, and improve overall posture. A number of different techniques can be weaved into a session including cupping, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) and Active Release Techniques (ART) and Muscle Energy Techniques (MET).

What is involved in a Structural Massage Session

Structural Massage is a non-invasive technique that identifies the source of pain based on structural imbalances and uses body positioning to relieve tension. When you go in for a structural massage session, a professional will identify the cause of your pain by locating a tender spot. They will then gently shift the body into positions that ease pain and stimulate change. These positions are held for about 1-2 minutes. As they position, they will monitor the change in structure and adjust accordingly to change tissue tension. This technique can produce quick results—you may see a reduction in pain after just one session. During a structural massage session, the vast majority of the work can be performed largely fully clothed except where deep tissue/sports massage techniques need to be included. 


Should I try a structural massage?

A structural massage can be a great benefit from those suffering from chronical back pain. In some cases, it can relieve pain quickly, but it can also take a few sessions to see results depending on the severity of your dysfunction. Structural massage can be performed on its own or be pair with other massage techniques.

It may be a good option for those who prefer a less intrusive massage. This type of massage is a good option if you have an ongoing issue, including back, neck or shoulder pain.


Key Features:
 • Postural assessment: The therapist observes your standing and movement patterns to identify imbalances or misalignments.
 • Deep tissue techniques: The therapist uses slower, deeper strokes and pressure to target chronic tension and structural restrictions.
 • Fascial release: Special attention is given to the fascia, the web of connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs, to restore its elasticity and freedom of movement.
 • Integration: The ultimate goal is to rebalance the body’s structure so that muscles and joints can function more efficiently, leading to reduced pain and improved range of motion.

Benefits:
 • Improved posture and alignment
 • Relief of chronic pain and tension
 • Enhanced flexibility and movement efficiency
 • Greater awareness of body mechanics

It’s often recommended for people dealing with postural issues, repetitive strain injuries, or chronic pain conditions like back pain, sciatica, or headaches caused by tension.

Price:   For a 1 hour treatment of structural massage £50.00

             For an hour and a half treatment of structural massage £75.00   

Note: Structural Massage is not a substitute for medical treatment nor is it a diagnostic system. Always consult a GP or other health professional for medical attention and advice.
