“Not suitable for everyone. Book only if this session fits your requirements.”
This massage encompasses the entire back and front of your muscle system, providing the best release from chronic pain for athletes and enhancing muscle performance for active individuals. You won’t be covered by a towel, but you may opt to wear a small G-string if you prefer, as full tight underwear can restrict access to the full glutes.
The Therapeutic Circulation Breast Massage can be added, as most athletes wear tight sports bras, which can prevent circulation within the breast system.
Please specify which massage you are interested in when booking.
The Athlete Peak Full Body Release Therapy is precisely what it claims to be. Ray addresses all muscle areas, extending beyond your typical remedial or sports massage, to release tight spots that others may overlook. Our muscles are spread throughout the body, and myofascial release is essential for alleviating tension in these areas, which is crucial for managing chronic pain and promoting a healthy muscle system.
Athletes only for a 1-hour full-body massage, which includes breasts and full abdomen, that combines sports massage, active release therapy, and myofascial release techniques targeting myofascial trigger points. (Athlete-style bodies only)
The best massage for optimal full body release therapy is designed for individuals who prioritise their health. This is particularly suitable for athlete-style bodies due to the ease of stretching lighter legs compared to heavier limbs. It's not like a relaxation massage where you lie still, as in the session you get stretched as well as being massaged.

- Active release therapy (ART) is a soft tissue manipulation technique aimed at relieving tension, adhesions, and scar tissue in muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. It’s typically performed by a therapist, who uses their hands to hold parts of the muscle as the limbs move.
- Myofascial Cupping. can effectively lift the skin and superficial fascia from the underlying muscle. This helps break down adhesions (fibrous cross-links) and reduce fascial densification.

There will be a towel if you want to use it. You may opt to wear a small G-string if you prefer, as full underwear can restrict access to the glutes, and I will not pull your underwear up to massage your glutes, as it hurts my fingers.

You will experience stretching in various positions—lying on your back, front, and sides to achieve optimal muscle release. Myofascial trigger points will be targeted in areas you may not have realised were sources of pain.
Trigger point therapy may result in localised bruising, particularly in individuals who bruise easily or have increased capillary fragility. This bruising is typically mild and temporary and is considered a common side effect rather than a complication.
