Welcome to Holistic Massage Kneads, the website for Lucy Dunleavy who has over 18 years experience in massage therapy. I specialise in clinical deep tissue massage, sports massage and chronic pain management. I also offer CranioSacral Therapy to address a wide variety of health issues, stress and anxiety. My treatment room is situated in my home in central Brighton, East Sussex. It is a friendly relaxed environment with easy on-street pay and display parking.
Clinical deep-tissue massage 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 really help you with these kinds of pain issues, whether they have just popped up or whether you have had them for many years.
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. Clinical deep-tissue massage 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 massage and craniosacral techniques, with powerful lasting results.

Carren Meikle
2/08/2020 - I greatly appreciated Lucy’s in-depth knowledge of the body and her professionalism in providing a holistic approach to massage. Lucy offered a pre-assessment of my needs via a friendly yet professional phone call and delivered a very relaxing, effective and much needed deep tissue massage. Lucy also recommended to me some daily stretches specified to areas of current discomfort and these have proven to be effective. I highly recommend Lucy (Holistic Massage Kneads) to anyone who requires a relaxing massage treatment targeting body discomfort

COVID 19 UPDATE
I am open for appointments from Mondays to fridays.
Once you have booked your appointment I will contact you to arrange a pre-treatment consultation either online or by phone. This will limit the amount of aerosol transmission in the treatment room and ensure you get maximised hands-on time for your session. You will receive an email with a link to an online intake form which I need you to complete prior to your appointment. The treatment room is deep cleaned and fully ventilated inbetween each appointment and all linens are washed and fresh for you. There is plenty of hand sanitiser available for you, and please make sure you are wearing a mask for your appointment.
Online massage self-help services are open for bookings. These are a great way for anyone who is high risk, shielding, in local lockdown or too busy and unable to attend an appointment in person. Please see here for details
