Health and Performance Massage provides massage therapy
in and near Henley-on-Thames and in Shepperton, Surrey.
Everybody's needs are different, so every treatment is individually tailored using a variety of soft and deep tissue techniques, stretching and fascial work. Put off by the idea of deep tissue work?... there are alternatives.
Sports massage suffers a bad rep for being painful- it needn't necessarily be so
(please see Treatments page).
​
Specialising in massage beneficial to all, but particularly those who live an active or athletic lifestyle, Health and Performance Massage specifically targets tissues of muscular and joint function. Massage enables athletes to build accuracy, endurance and power; and non-athletes to build balance, confidence and strength.
​
Everyone benefits from massage, mentally as well as physically. Athletes in training appreciate that sports massage improves quality of performance; non-athletes understand that it improves quality of life. Muscle stiffness and tension restricts our daily pursuits, making us grumpy, slowing us down, increasing our susceptibility to injury. Sports massage should not be viewed as a luxury, but undertaken regularly as part of a training and healthcare routine.

TESTIMONIALS
From the moment you arrive, Laura makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Laura has a real understanding of how one part of the body affects the other, and knows how to use that knowledge to treat the whole body. I have a hip joint that is about as stiff as a rock, and Laura always manages to make it mobile. She really has the magic touch.

As a chartered physiotherapist with over thirty five years of experience, I have every confidence in recommending Laura's massage. The whole experience was therapeutic. The treatment room is airy and tranquil, Laura's manner is kind and professional and the massage was both relaxing and invigorating. I gained the impression that Laura will strive to do her very best for every client she sees.

Working with Laura really helped me to keep up my active lifestyle. As a former rower, I have some lingering issues with my lower back. Without her help, it would be harder for me to manage these issues. Calm and professional, Laura balances both making you relax into the massages and getting deep enough to loosen up the tight muscles. No mean feat! I always leave feeling refreshed and ready for anything.
