Clinical deep-tissue massage in Brighton for chronic pain management
Are you experiencing pain from an injury, from having to sit and work at a desk all day, or from any kind of repetitive strain from a job you do?
Clinical deep tissue massage can help you with these kinds of pain issues, whether they have just popped up or whether you have had them for many years. I use a blend of techniques from deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy and subtle energy work. Every treatment is tailored according to your specific needs.
This form of manual therapy, with information and advice on movement and exercise, coupled with postural awareness techniques, is a non-invasive fusion of Eastern and Western techniques. It facilitates recovery and empowers you with the knowledge to stay as pain free as possible in the future.
I can help to improve your pain levels, flexibility and range of movement. Within 1 to 6 treatments of clinical deep tissue massage, I would expect your pain levels to reduce and I will help you to obtain and maintain your best possible performance. I use cutting-edge advanced clinical massage and craniosacral techniques, with powerful lasting results.

Craniosacral Therapy in Brighton
What is Craniosacral therapy?
Are you struggling with stress, anxiety or insomnia? Perhaps you have digestive, respiratory or blood pressure problems? Or are you experiencing migraines, jaw problems or tinnitus?
Tensions and restrictions held deeply within your body tissues can manifest as many kinds of problems.
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, safe hands-on treatment using a light touch which enables long-held tensions within your body to release. Often these restrictions from our busy lives become so embedded we become unconscious of them. Yet we keep getting repetitive aches, discomfort and unease physically, emotionally and in our general well-being. Craniosacral therapy gives the mind/body an opportunity to release, restore and integrate into healthy function.To learn more please click here

Lucy was recommended to me by a friend and I will be eternally grateful! After just one session I felt so much better and am hoping I will soon be back running again. Lucy really knows what she is doing and has a kind and caring manner. I would highly recommend.

Lucy is very kind and easy to talk to. I’ve been seeing her for two months for tight neck and shoulders. I’ve gone from needing to take painkillers every day to hardly needing them. It’s not just the massage that’s great, but also the helpful advice on posture and exercises. Lucy is very knowledgeable on anatomy and useful stretches.

Lucy is wonderful. I felt so warm and welcome from the start. I would recommend Lucy to anyone who is trying to find a massage / CranioSacral therapist. She was extremely respectful and kind. As someone who is recovering from trauma and has trouble connecting to my own body, I would highly recommend Lucy. I felt so incredibly safe in her presence and immediately relaxed (as much as I could) from the get go. It was a wonderful experience and it will become a regular therapy for me.

So totally amazing to be able to book a treatment with Lucy again after months of lockdown restrictions. Booking on line is so easy and I find it very helpful to have a call a day or two before the appointment for Lucy to check in and know what issues need most attention during the visit so that she can get straight on with working her magic. The treatment room is welcoming, relaxing, warm and comfortable and Lucy is super aware of ensuring a Covid safe environment. During treatment she knows exactly where pressure is needed and how long to maintain it in order to gain optimal benefit from the massage whilst always checking her application is at appropriate level. Lucy is friendly professional knowledgable and extremely good! Can’t rate her highly enough.
