Massage for Musicians

A musical life truly is a gift, but it is not without its own set of challenges;

  • Muscle aches and injury from performing repetitive motions that can put us out of action if we don’t keep them in check

  • Long hours spent playing instruments that put us out of postural alignment

  • Long journeys, convenience foods and late nights on the road

  • The mental pressures of recording, auditions & live performance

  • Creative ruts and the difficulty of times when just don’t feel like picking up our instruments and lose an important creative & emotional outlet

  • Rampant self criticism and self evaluation

  • Dealing with difficult but talented colleagues

Massage can be a splendid way to ward against injury & counterbalance a demanding musical life.

I offer holistic massage sessions especially designed with your needs in mind to;

  • Prevent repetitive strain injury with rhythmic & dynamic massage, tailored to relieve the muscular tensions directly associated with playing your instrument

  • Soothe and re-center the nervous system with pre- and post-recording massage

  • Alleviate chronic stress which hampers creativity

  • Un-crumple yourself after long spats on the road

Bring along whatever music relaxes you to listen to during your massage.

As a bari sax player, these are challenges that I am deeply intimate with as when I am not giving massage, my passion in life is strapping this whopping hunk of metal to me and jumping around without abandon (sorry, knees).

It is therefore a delight to provide mental, emotional and physical support to bolster your wellbeing & keep you playing comfortably and joyfully.
