Therapeutic massage, or “rubbing” as it was termed by Hippocrates the father of modern medicine, has been in existence for thousands of years. Many cultures have adopted massage as a therapy to soothe aches and pains and as many people experience the benefits of therapeutic massage, it is becoming more and more popular.

Therapeutic massage incorporates the use of traditional swedish massage techniques combined with a carrier oil such as sweet almond oil or grapeseed oil. Sports massage techniques and massage equipment can be incorporated if there is a requirement.
