We're excited to welcome Maria to SPINELAB. An experienced massage therapist who previously ran her own beauty and massage studio, Maria offers sports massage, Swedish and relaxation massage, deep tissue massage, pregnancy massage and hot stone therapy to help relieve muscle tension, improve mobility, support recovery and reduce stress.
Massage is one of the simplest ways to look after your body and mind. Regular sessions can ease muscle tension and stiffness, improve circulation and joint mobility, and support faster recovery between workouts or after a long week on your feet. Many clients also notice real benefits for sleep, stress and mood, massage is well recognised for lowering stress, easing anxiety and simply helping you feel more like yourself again.
Whether you're managing a specific niggle, recovering from training, or just need an hour to switch off, the right massage can make a genuine difference, and it doesn't need to be intense to work. We'll always check in on pressure and adjust the treatment to you.
