Holistic Massage - From £48
Holistic massage, also known as Swedish massage is a therapeutic flowing treatment to relieve tension and break down muscle ‘knots’. There are a wide range of benefits, addressing both physical and mental aspects. Whether targeting specific issues or providing general relaxation, regular massage can contribute to a healthier, happier you!
Massage treatments tailored for you
As with all treatments at Pure Therapy, your massage pressure and techniques will be tailored to your requirements and concerns on the day.
To ensure that you receive full benefit from your treatment I always aim to provide aftercare advice, which may include stretching exercises, posture care, hydration or recommendations for heat/cold therapy.
Holistic Massage Benefits
Reduction and Breakdown of Adhesions (Knots)
Massage therapy is effective in the breakdown of adhesions or ‘knots’ in the muscles. By applying pressure and manipulating soft tissues, massage helps release tension and restore optimal muscle function.
Increased Blood Circulation
Massage will stimulate blood flow, increasing oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Improved blood circulation is crucial for preventing muscle wasting and promoting overall muscle health, contributing to better muscle tone.
Improved Range of Movement
Massage increases flexibility and mobility by targeting joints, tendons, and ligaments. Regular sessions can help break down scar tissue, improve elasticity, and contribute to increased range of movement.
Anxiety Reduction and Stress Management
Massage helps manage anxiety and stress-related conditions. The calming effect of massage will trigger the release of neurotransmitters that promote relaxation allowing your parasympathetic nervous system to take over (rest and digest) providing both physical and mental relief from the cycle of stress.
Increased Endorphin Production and General Well-being
Massage stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. This helps alleviate pain but also contributes to an overall sense of well-being and happiness. Regular massage sessions can positively impact mood and emotional health.
Blood Pressure Reduction and Immune System Boost
Massage has been linked to lowered blood pressure and heart rate. Additionally, regular massage sessions have been shown to boost the immune system, enhancing the body's ability to defend against illness and promoting overall well-being.
Improved Posture
Massage can be a crucial component in maintaining good posture, especially for individuals with desk-based jobs. By addressing muscle imbalances and tension, massage helps correct posture-related issues, reducing the risk of discomfort and pain.
Enhanced Sleep Quality
By easing tension and promoting a sense of calm, massage therapy can be an effective natural remedy for insomnia and other sleep-related issues.
Menopausal Symptoms
Massage induces a state of deep relaxation, encouraging the parasympathetic nervous system to take over from the ‘fight or flight’ stress response to the ‘rest and digest’ state. This state can help with many common menopausal symptoms such as anxiety, poor sleep, hormonal fluctuations, muscle and joint pain and poor concentration.
LED Phototherapy
LED phototherapy is not just beneficial for skin rejuvenation. Near-Infrared light (830nm) has been clinically proven and certified for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. This wavelength is capable of penetrating below the skin layers about 2-7cm deep, providing effective pain relief for muscles, nerves and even bones.
Once absorbed the light energy kickstarts a series of metabolic events at cellular level that reduces pain and inflammation associated with arthritis, joint pain and other common injuries. Combined with Red light (633nm) it’s an ideal treatment to complement sporting performance for effective repair and recovery.
The same principles apply as for the skin, reducing inflammation, increasing blood circulation and promoting the synthesis of collagen. Collagen is a protein most commonly associated with the skin but it is also a key component in muscle and connective tissue.

I have been coming to Alison for several years now for facials and despite having had facials at a few other places over the years, they are never as good! Alison is very talented! Not only is she knowledgeable and my skin is glowing after but I always feel so recharged too. I had previously thought the purpose of a facial was mainly to take care of my skin but I didn’t realise how relaxing it would be too. She always takes her time and the atmosphere is serene, feeling almost like a ritual. I wish I could treat myself more often!

Bought a number of treatments for my wife with Alison over the years. Cannot recommend Alison and her business highly enough. Superbly clean, fantastically professional and every attention to detail. Favourite treatment is Hot Stone Total Balance Relaxation Package 120mins. Makes my Christmas and Birthday shopping very easy!

I’ve had multiple courses of lymphatic massages at pure therapy. They are wonderful so relaxing and I definitely notice a difference with my water retention afterwards. The environment is lovely, service and treatment professional and price really reasonable. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Alison runs a very professional business. From the text received the day before your appointment as a reminder, to the wonderful relaxing massages. She has the whole package and I had the best night’s sleep I had in ages after my latest massage from her. I would highly recommend her for tired overworking bodies or those just wanting a treat.

I have been lucky enough to have experienced many different types of massage treatments both locally and worldwide but I believe that you would have to travel a long way indeed to find a massage therapist as gifted as Alison. Her personal, intuitive and holistic approach provides a thorough and effective massage.
