Fantastic treatment, can't recommend them enough. Tom helped with my various aches and joint pain from running and also gave me so much advice for my upcoming half marathon. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and very accommodating- helping to sort last minute appointments and change/alter when needed. I have seen a few different chiropractors at the clinic and they have all been very knowledgeable and explained everything so clearly. Tom particularly has been great and got me back out running pain-free.

I had one appointment with Jamie after suffering tremendous pain and he totally relieved the pain, allowing me to carry on with my life as normally as possible with my ongoing back weakness. I would highly recommend him to anyone and would totally trust him to help me again in the future.

Tom has been great right from the start. From listening to me and everything I had to tell him in our first meeting. Taking me and my previous (less good) experience with chiropractors into account and seriously considering why I was there. He helped me, that first time and has done for the number of sessions I've had since. He answers all my nerdy, analytical questions and adapts to me as I need him to. He's also not a snake oil salesman, talking himself out of the possibility of a job within the first month if I found I no longer needed him. None of this "oh, look, another problem I'll need to see you for" malarkey. Tom has been honest and so helpful every time. The reception staff at Skelian are lovely, the atmosphere is nice, and whilst not cheap I have never felt swindled. Only understood, because back pain is a universal suffering we can all sympathise with. Couldn't recommend them and Tom more. And I'll soon be in maintenance, somewhere I never thought I'd get to when all this started in February.

I have been seeing Jamie for the last couple of months, and absolutely can’t recommend him enough. I love his holistic approach and looking at the bigger picture to try and piece together the reasons why my neck and hips are so painful. I always feel anxious when having to go to someone different when it comes to my health, but Jamie is so kind, friendly and understanding of people and how they are feeling. We have had some great results so far with my treatment and feel we are making some headway with all my aches and pains. If you are feeling nervous and not sure what to expect, Jamie is the guy for you.

I recently had a sports massage with Brad, due to extended periods of computer use, I suffer with neck and shoulder tension. Brad was able to work out all the knots in my back and shoulders. I have definitively felt the benefits ever since.

Massage Cheltenham

There are so many benefits to having a fantastic massage. Massage therapy can be a great way to reduce pain, stress or help recover from an injury. 

Sports massage and Therapeutic Massage

There are so many benefits to having a fantastic massage, whether you have a specific problem or not. Massage therapy can be a great way to reduce pain, stress or help recover from an injury. Most things that cause pain or anxiety can lead to muscle tension and massage is a great way to help address or manage those problems.

At Skelian, we have a brilliant massage therapist who is here to help you. From recovering from pregnancy to sports injuries, both of our massage therapists tailor each session to your needs, to help you relax or get back on track after an injury.

Sports Massage Cheltenham

The sports massage offered at Skelian always looks at the bigger picture, encompassing the different areas of the body that need addressing. We are fortunate to have our fantastic Sports Therapist Dani, who qualified at the University of Gloucester.

Dani  customises her sessions to you. Using a variety of deep tissue work, stretching, mobilising, and lighter touch techniques to leave you feeling great afterwards.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage aims to penetrate the muscle or soft tissue fibres to release any adhesions (tight muscle fibres) that may be causing your pain, muscle and or joint tightness. 

Typically more pressure is used during this technique, compared to a more relaxing massage, where the goal is to help reduce mental as well as physical tension. As this technique uses more pressure compared to your standard massages, your massage therapist will ask for feedback throughout your massage to make sure the pressure is just right. Deep tissue massage is often incorporated into sports massage techniques but is used in a wide variety of massage techniques available at Skelian.

Relaxing Massage

 A relaxing massage always feels great. For many people it can help balance the physical, emotional, mental needs of the body. It is a mixture of gentle or deeper movements tailored to your individual needs. It may help to reduce muscular pain, tension and stiffness. Relieves tired or stressed muscles. It helps to rebalance the body’s system. It boosts circulation and helps lymphatic flow, energy levels can also improve. It helps with posture and increases mobility.  Massage may help headaches, stress and improve insomnia.

A base oil such as grape seed or coconut is used and the whole body (back, neck, shoulders, legs, arms and face) can be treated. The result is deeply relaxing and gives rise to a general sense of wellbeing.

Rehabilitative Massage

Not exclusively for sporty people, if you need more of a rehabilitative approach to your treatment then Dani will be able to help deliver this. Dani our massage therapist is an experienced professional and offers a very flexible approach to offering exercises and hands on massage treatments. The massage therapist may also refer you to one of our chiropractors or specialist physiotherapist, if they feel a combined approach or another professional is more appropriate for your condition. If you are referred to one of our chiropractors or physiotherapist, they will often refer patients with a specific goal in mind. For example, this may be easing muscular tension that is associated with a spinal condition, or additional rehabilitation following an injury. Dani will use her extensive and experienced massage skills to help manage your aches and pains or assist in your healing process.

What to expect from a massage

Each session begins with discussion to establish how you are feeling and what you need at the time of the massage. Our massage therapists will ask some questions relating to your health, lifestyle, exercise, area of discomfort, listen fully, suggest a treatment or specific treatment techniques.
