Is massage safe during a migraine attack?

Light touch therapy is generally safe and helpful during mild to moderate migraines. For severe attacks with vomiting, rest first then book when the acute phase passes. Always inform your therapist of your current pain level.

Which massage is best for tension headaches vs migraines?

Tension headaches respond well to direct neck and shoulder work. Migraines benefit more from gentle full-body work and relaxation techniques—anything too intense can worsen a migraine in the acute phase.

How quickly can you arrive?

We can usually arrange service within 2-3 hours of booking. For migraine emergencies, WhatsApp us directly and we'll prioritize your request.

How light should the pressure be during a migraine?

Very light to medium. We use gentle, slow strokes rather than deep tissue work during acute migraine phases. Communicate your comfort level throughout.

Can regular massage prevent migraines?

Research shows regular massage reduces migraine frequency for chronic sufferers. Weekly sessions help maintain relaxed neck muscles and lower baseline stress—two major migraine triggers.

Frequently Asked Questions

For acute pain, a focused 60-minute session on the affected area is often sufficient. For chronic conditions, 90 minutes allows time to address both the primary pain site and the compensating muscles that tighten around it — lower back problems, for example, commonly involve hip flexors and hamstrings that a 60-minute session cannot fully cover. Your therapist will assess during the session and advise on follow-up frequency.

Yes. Massage complements physiotherapy, chiropractic care, and most medical treatments for musculoskeletal conditions. It addresses soft tissue tension that clinical interventions may not target directly. Inform your therapist about any ongoing treatments, recent injections, or medication so they can adjust pressure and technique accordingly. If you have had recent surgery or a confirmed acute injury, consult your doctor before booking.

How to Book Your Massage

Everything you need to know before you book

How to Book

When booking for a specific pain condition, mention the affected area and a brief description of the issue via WhatsApp when you book — for example, "lower back tension from travel" or "left shoulder knot, been there a week." This lets us match the right therapist and ensures they arrive prepared to focus on the right areas. Same-day bookings are available with 2–3 hours notice. For chronic or recurring conditions, a 90-minute session gives the therapist enough time to do thorough work rather than a surface treatment.

Timing Your Booking

Avoid booking during an acute pain episode — massage is most effective in the sub-acute phase, when the area is sore but not in sharp spasm. A 24–48 hour gap after a significant flare-up is ideal. The best time of day depends on your routine: evening sessions give the muscles a chance to relax overnight; morning sessions are useful when pain is worst in the morning and you want to start the day with more mobility. For recurring conditions, consistency matters more than session length — regular 60-minute sessions outperform occasional 120-minute ones.

What to Expect

The therapist arrives with a full professional setup and will ask briefly about the affected area before starting. This takes 2–3 minutes and directly shapes the session. Communicate freely during the massage — more pressure, less pressure, or a different area — good therapists adjust in real time. After a targeted session on a problem area, some soreness in the 12–24 hours following is normal and expected; this indicates the tissue was worked properly. Payment is cash after the session; no deposit required.
