Deep tissue massage is similar in many ways to holistic (also known as Swedish or beauty) massage, but there are also differences. Holistic massage generally follows a set routine and with an emphasis on relaxation. Deep tissue massage, on the other hand, focuses on problem areas and uses deep tissue techniques to work into the muscles. Choose this treatment if you have bad muscle tension, especially shoulder tension and neck pain, if you have trigger points or if you get tension headaches. READ MORE
Hot stones massage is carried out with basalt stones, heated in hot water. The therapist holds the stones in the palms of her hands as she carries out the massage. The heat of the stones increases blood supply and helps muscles to relax. Working deep into muscles to release tension and knots is easier if the muscles are warm from the stones. The feelings of comfort and warmth that the stones give can also help to promote physical and mental relaxation. It’s an enjoyable and relaxing massage that’s good for treating stress and anxiety or sleep problems, as well as tense muscles. READ MORE

Excellent massage -very skilled masseuse who easily deals with those knots and points of tension. (I've had a lot of massages to compare!) Great location. Easy to find/plenty of parking.

Nicole Russell02/02/2024I've been seeing Sue for several years for both a deep tissue massage and hot stones. The massage results are always great, no matter how knotty I am! Sue's very friendly and welcoming which enhances the massage
Clare Brazier05/10/2023I visit Sue on a monthly basis for a 45 minute back massage and 30 minute face massage. At my first visit I had painful knots in my shoulders, but as the months have gone by, these have almost disappeared. Sue has worked miracles on my back. Sue is professional, warm and friendly and extremely good at massage. I will continue to have massages for my own wellbeing. I cannot recommend Sue highly enough!
Kate Nichols13/06/2023Been going to Sue for about 8months and she’s been working wonders on my back and shoulders. I keep going more for maintenance so I don’t go back to how I was. Loads of headaches, which I now don’t get. Highly recommended!

Tracy Adams06/03/2023I have been having regular massages for a number of months. Sue has expertly and diligently helped with easing the tightness in my upper back.. The difference has been a revelation to me after suffering with aching muscles and tenderness for far too long !. As well as being professional, Sue is a lovely lady. Would strongly recommend making an appointment for a wonderful, relaxing massage.
Gill F05/03/2023Body Benefits was recommended to me by a colleague when my health care role left me suffering with shoulder and neck discomfort. The deep tissue massage is incredible value for money, and Sue really took the time to listen to my concerns. She explained clearly why I was experiencing muscle tension, and she managed to reduce my discomfort considerably from the very first session. I am now a regular customer and wouldn't dream of going to anyone else! I have no hesitation in recommending Body Benefits to any women looking for massage therapy in a comfortable and relaxing environment.
Claire Fogarty15/10/2019Sue has treated me for sore muscles and tight ligaments several times now and things are now improving in terms of my freedom of movement. Her hands on work has been complimented by some exercises she provided and I am now feeling the benefits. She is very professional in her approach and has a very pleasant treatment room with a calm and relaxed atmosphere to match her manner. A thorough massage tailored entirely on individual requirements. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
