Calm, hands-on treatment that eases muscle tension and supports overall wellbeing. Choose therapeutic or aromatherapy massage at IDOS, tailored to how you feel on the day.
Our massage therapists offer restorative, therapeutic bodywork for pain relief, stress, injury, or general wellbeing. Styles include clinical, sports, and holistic techniques and are available alongside Aromatherapy with Sayuri or by Roberta.
We start with a short chat about where you feel tight or sore and what you want from the session. Your practitioner then uses a blend of techniques to relax muscles, improve circulation and reduce everyday aches caused by work, stress or sport. Pressure is adjusted to your comfort. If it helps, we can coordinate with your IDOS GP or therapy team so everything stays joined up and safe.
Who it is for: People with desk related stiffness, stress related tension, simple post exercise soreness, or anyone who wants a calm reset and better sleep.

Sayuri M. Naruse
With a MSc in Health Psychology and a BSc (Hons) in Health and Wellbeing, Sayuri’s passion for massage reflects in her continuous research on the effect of massage as a visiting researcher.
Sessions are usually on a treatment couch with towels for comfort and privacy. We select techniques based on your goals, such as Swedish style strokes for relaxation, deeper work for problem areas, and optional aromatherapy oils for a soothing effect. Typical structure:
Wear comfortable clothing and arrive well hydrated. Avoid heavy meals or alcohol before your session. Tell us about any injuries, skin conditions, allergies, pregnancy or medical diagnoses so we can adapt the treatment and choose suitable oils. If you prefer an oil free massage, let us know.
“I came to Idos for a sports massage as my shoulders were very stiff and sore. Roberta was fantastic and really helped to relieve the tension. She also explained the potential roots of the problem as well as giving future solutions. I highly recommend.”
