Have you ever had a massage and wondered how it actually works? Massage therapists are great for listing out the many benefits of massage but often find it difficult to explain how massage works.

It’s hard to believe, but this week, The Massage Centre is 10 years old! We first began trading from inside PR Hair on Turnham Green Terrace all the way back in December 2008. Back then it was just one therapist, Fran Kehoe, operating from a basement room below the hair salon. We gradually grew to a team of 7 sports and remedial therapists before upping sticks to move all of 6 doors away to our newly renovated and current clinic building in 2012.
We feel privileged to have an array of talented, wonderful and interesting clients who visit The Massage Centre. This month we meet Raakhee Tailor who has created a luxury brand called Wild Saint. If you’re searching for a bespoke Christmas gift for a loved one this year check out her website www.wildsaint.co.uk All items are gift wrapped, and there is an option for a hand note to be written for personal messages.
