Massage is a unique and powerful restorative practice. With a carefully structured approach, skilled therapists can provide huge benefits for their clients, both for the mind and the body. There are many different types and styles of massage, all designed to relieve pain and promote healing.
Whichever form you and your therapist decide is appropriate for your circumstance, it is realistic to assume that you will adopt a largely passive role while the therapist 'treats' the soft tissues of your body.During this process mental awareness of the physical self is inevitably heightened. Massage can therefore be used as a tool designed to develop a sense of focus within ourselves.

Deep tissue massage involves warming the areas to be treated and then, as the name suggests, providing a firm massage at a consistent pace and depth. The pace of the massage is relatively slow and often in time with the breath. Deep tissue massage is very effective at working below the superficial level to release chronic tension.
The principle behind cupping is that as tissue is lifted, fresh blood, full of nutrients and oxygen, rushes to the areas being worked on. This creates a feeling of warmth and a relief from tension. While massage compresses tissues, cupping lifts them. An oil is applied to the skin which facilitates moving the cups.

If I could give 10 stars I would šš George helped me when I was in great lower back pain for a week already! I contacted the Treat as I couldnāt bare the pain anymore.. George saw me in a very short notice and despite me being in pain and really tense I was able to relax and enjoy the message! After the first session I felt very light and pain free! š that was a great relief! Would recommend GB Massage to anyone. Thank you George! Best wishes, Ruta

Saw George for the first time a week ago for a much needed deep tissue back, neck and shoulder massage, which instantly loosened knots and relived months of tension in my muscles. George is highly professional and really knows his stuff. The most effective massage I have had anywhere in the UK, will be back very soon.

"WOW"!! this is exactly what my comment was after the 60 minutes of pure relief i received off George. I had never experienced a professional massage before hand. Its safe to say i will be returning in the very near future and actually will no doubt decide to have a massage from George on a 2-3 month basis. I have always been very tense in my back and shoulders, George seemed to have worked all my unwanted discomfort out and has left me feeling very relaxed, loose and happy! Thank you George, all the best.

George has a very gentle nature so you instantly feel cared for. He was very focused during the massage and managed to get a comfortable level of pressure that suited me. Even though I was suffering from serve tension in my neck, shoulders and over the top of my head into my left eye. The pain had almost dissipated and I could move my head more freely by the end of the treatment. He very kindly fitted me into his busy day and I felt able to go back to work more relaxed.

I saw George for the first time today for a flare up of an old back problem and i am sitting here this evening feeling more comfortable than i have done in a while. George explains what he is going to do each step of the way, and his manner is calm and professional, making me feel at ease despite being in so much pain.
i have had many massages and back treatments over the years and can honestly say George is one of the best and i would highly recommend him. thank you so much.

After seeing a multitude of therapists for deep tissue massages in London and Norwich, I would highly recommend George over others. I have had ongoing issues with my neck and shoulder muscles for a few years with a specific pain point that can only be described as someone sticking a large hot needle in my neck. George has focused on the problems areas with deep tissue massage techniques which really help to ease the pain and discomfort - and for the first time ever the really painful 'hot point' has been removed. Ten out of Ten!

I visited George for the first time on Friday. I have had many deep tissue massages from different practitioners all over the world, but this was definitely one of the better experiences. George is calm, professional, friendly and like all really talented therapists, he can both read and listen to a clientās body. I would highly recommend him and will visit again whenever I return to Norwich.

Having suffered neck and shoulder tension for many years and more recently Achilles pain, I have over the last decade visited several deep tissue/sports massage therapists.
George is one of the best with the ability to apply deep, firm pressure while never making you wince!
My neck felt "swan like" after my first visit and am very happy to recommend him.

I couldnāt recommend George highly enough. For some time now I have suffered with back and shoulder pain and so I made an appointment for a deep tissue massage hoping it would help. George used a series of techniques to manipulate my shoulders and work out all the knots. It definitely worked. I was really happy with the massage I received and thought that it was also very reasonably priced. I will definitely be booking again.
