PAIN ISN'T RANDOM

Muscle RED.jpg

MUSCLES

Tight, weak, or overworked muscles don’t just cause pain — they change how you move, load, and stabilise your body.

image 920.jpg

FASCIA

Restrictions in connective tissue can create pulling, stiffness,
 or a feeling of being “tight everywhere” without a clear reason.

spine 3d no background 8.jpg

JOINTS

Limited range or poor alignment forces other areas to take over —
 often leading to discomfort that doesn’t match the real cause.

image 740.jpg

NERVES

Pain, tingling, or weakness can come from how signals travel —
 not just where you feel the problem.

image_edited.jpg

BLOOD

Poor circulation can leave tissues undernourished,
 making healing slower and stiffness more persistent.

When muscles overwork or switch off, your body shifts into compensation, which leads to inflammation and pain.

MUSCLES

MUSCULAR SYSTEM

blood circulation representation

When circulation is restricted, tissues fatigue, recovery slows, and pain persists.

BLOOD

VASCULAR SYSTEM

FASCIA

Fascia icon representating the myofascial system in musculoskeletal therapy.

MYOFASCIAL SYSTEM

When fascial networks lose integrity, force transfer is disrupted — affecting stability and efficient movement.

nervous system

NERVES

Nerve icon representating the nervous system in musculoskeletal therapy.

When nerves are irritated or compressed, signals are disrupted — leading to pain, weakness, or numbness.

NERVOUS SYSTEM

POSTURE

Spine icon representating the skeletal system in musculoskeletal therapy.

SKELETAL SYSTEM

When alignment is compromised,
joints absorb uneven load — driving  inflammation and pain over time.

HANDS-ON THERAPY
INFLUENCES ALL SYSTEMS

deep tissue therapy

IMG_0479 1_edited.jpg

A clothed, hands-on approach that prioritises precision over glide.

Direct work into restriction and tissue blockages leads to faster, more measurable changes in movement and pain.

Rooted in Tuina therapy, deep tissue work, and sports rehabilitation principles.

FUNCTIONAL
THERAPY

IMG_0479 1_edited.jpg

The body doesn't work in isolation — neither does the treatment

This is not a standard massage.
Each session is applied with precision — based on how your body moves, compensates, and where tension actually builds.
 

The work is rooted in Tuina, a form of Chinese manual therapy, integrating myofascial release, trigger point work, and sport therapy to target restriction at the source.
 

Designed to deliver fast, noticeable change in pain, tension, and injury — whether from training or everyday life.

A RESULTS-DRIVEN APPROACH TO DEEP TISSUE therapy

RECOVERY TOOLS

image 792.jpg

Used to create decompression in the tissues, improving circulation and allowing deeper restriction to release.

CUPPING

image 791.jpg

Used to stimulate the nervous system and break down adhesions, restoring tissue glide in areas of persistent tension.

GUASHA

Group 316128001-1.jpg

Used to stimulate cellular activity and support tissue repair, particularly in areas that are slow to recover.

MICRO CURRENT

image 764.jpg

Used to increase circulation and stimulate tissue repair, improving how the body responds to treatment.

FAR INFRARED

Group 316128001.jpg

Used to stimulate venous return and lymphatic flow, supporting recovery and reducing residual fatigue.

COMPRESSION

WHERE RECOVERY MEETS STRENGTH

COACHING & BIOMECHANICS

IMG_1785 1_edited.jpg

Most training focuses on individual muscles, heavy loads and dynamic movement before the body has the control to support it.

Biomechanics works differently — looking at how everything moves together, identifying what's compensating, and building from the foundation up. Less wear on the body. Better results that actually last.

IMPROVED SCAPULAR STABILITY

image_edited.jpg

The body collapses into its weakest patterns — stiffness and imbalance are the signal. We identify where strength and control have broken down and build the work around closing that gap.

POSTURE

image_edited.jpg

Most training adds load and speed before the body has the control to support it — that's where pain and plateaus come from. We build the foundation first, so everything you do on top of it actually holds.

TRAINING

image_edited.jpg

Recurring flare-ups while running follow how your body loads and moves. We analyse your mechanics, then build a routine around movements that mirror how you run — so nothing is working against you.

After I was diagnosed with bulging disk and possible surgery I went to Celine for help.
 
With a few months of therapy combined with the exercises Celine provided I have made a full recovery and don't need surgery. I'm so grateful for her help through such a difficult time in my life and will continue to go to her for maintenance.

BULGED DISK

Melissa, 35

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
image_edited.jpg

Over the course of about 6 months, Celine has helped me to go from being unable to run to completing a marathon for the first time.
 

The structure was something I really benefited from Celine and that had been missing with my previous physio.

KNEE INJURY

Alexander, 30

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I practice Muay Thai and weightlifting and I had a pain in my left upper back that was bothering me for a long time.
 
In one session the pain disappeared, Celine is very professional and I recommend her sessions 100%

BACK PAIN

Juan, 40

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
image_edited.jpg
She’s amazing! I’ve been going to Celine for a while now and she’s always been able to understand my issues and I always feel better after seeing her.
 
I’m fairly active but also work a 9-5 so she’s been able to help me with a range of different things.

TENSION BUILD-UP

Taran, 26

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
image_edited.jpg

I’ve been coming here for more than two years and every time is amazing. Due to my chronic back pain, I sometimes need to be seen as an emergency and even with short notice she would always accommodate me.

 

She’s also very good and passionate when doing the treatment. Thanks Celine 

CHRONIC PAIN

Virginia, 31

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
image_edited.jpg

I had such bad back pain the ambulance came out because I couldn’t move.

 

I went to see Celine and within two months of support and care, I have never felt stronger. I also understand my spine/body more and what I need to do to prevent it from happening again. Highly recommend for emergency and preventative care.

BACK EMMERGENCY

Jade, 36

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Celine is wonderful - while I worked really intense jobs as a dancer I was seeing her regularly every week.
 
It made a huge difference in my recovery and the added cupping was so relaxing and releasing. Cannot recommend enough!

HAMSTRINGS PAIN

Alex, 28

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
image_edited.jpg
An old rectus femoris injury resurfaced about 2 weeks ago and I decided to go to a professional to get my leg checked. Celine explained that my leg could be experiencing a build up of blockages.
 
I played an entire football match 2 days after our session, no pain. An injury i had been carrying since February, completely gone.

QUAD INJURY

Paula, 22

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
image_edited.jpg

Had knee pain for 4 months where I went from running half marathons to no longer being able to do 2km without pain in my knee. 

 

After just 4 sessions with Functional beings, I can now run again and have no pain whilst running. Thanks Celine !

KNEE PAIN

Joshua, 24

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
image_edited.jpg
After good physical recovery, which was the primary goal, I discovered a second benefit : falling asleep quicker and having a full night sleep. Given my age (I'm 87), my nights are often short so I was very satisfied with the treatment.

LUMBAR PAIN

Michael, 87

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Having done traditional Tuina (Chinese massage) back in my hometown Shanghai, China, I would say Celine’s massage is incredible and at the same level of skills with professional in China. She also offers extra tips of how to maintain good body postures, exercise and dietary suggestions for our further improvements. She is also lovely to talk to after a busy day :)

CHRONIC TENSION

Emily, 22

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
image_edited.jpg

A few sessions with Functional beings not only helped to increase blood flow to the damage area enhancing the recovery, but also increased the range of motion within my ankle that has been restricted for so long.

Pains from sideways extension of the ankle rapidly reduce, plus the tailored follow up exercises at home help to unwind years of damage.
