Therapeutic Massage benefits most people; from general relaxation, to restoring muscle tone, improving function and circulation, relieving stress & tension or certain symptoms, and can also be preventative as part of a treatment plan. The method is based on Swedish Massage, using a light oil with applied pressure, and gentle but firm, gliding movements amongst others, and whilst some techniques used are deep, the treatment generally focuses on soft tissue. Some minor injuries can benefit from this form of treatment. It is a professional service with effective results.

Staś Bernasiński graduated with distinction from the Natural Healing Centre with a practitioner's diploma in Therapeutic Massage. He is currently broadening his professional skills with advanced massage techniques including Deep Tissue Massage, Sports & Remedial Massage and Trigger Point Therapy, and focusing longterm on specialising in dance & dance related injury. He is a member of the Natural Healing Institute of Ireland (NHII) and an Associate member of the Irish Massage Therapists Association (IMTA), and is fully insured.

Treatments: A 1 hour consultation is tailored to each person's needs, with usually approx. 45 minutes of actual treatment time. A detailed patient history is taken at the first session, and, whilst a treatment requires some degree of undress pertinent to the body part being worked, the client is otherwise draped in towels for discretion, comfort and warmth.

Rates: 1 hour session costs €50.
A loyalty scheme is in place and please feel free to enquire about discounts.

Hours: Mon-Fri 10am to 7pm. Saturdays available by prior arrangement. Home or site visits also available, both daytime and evenings. Usual 24 hour cancellation notice period applies.

Private Health Insurance: Currently only Aviva recognises massage as a complementary therapy. The IMTA is actively lobbying Quinn Healthcare and VHI to adopt the same stance. Please ask for an IMTA stamped receipt if you wish to claim.

Always seek professional medical advice regarding health concerns.
