The Medical Massage Lady

About Samantha

Self employed therapist offering a variety of treatments. My clients appreciate the fact that I have a medical background and that I offer explanations of why they have a particular issue and how their medical condition affects levels of muscle tension. My medical background gives me a level of knowledge and experience past that of the average massage therapist, and has given me an understanding of a wider range of issues. A variety of massage treatments with a sports and medical focus. I offer Swedish, deep tissue, sports, pregnancy and induction massage, scalp acupressure, oncology massage, IASTM, deep colon, lymphatic drainage, scarwork, aromatherapy, trauma massage, vagus nerve toning, bamboo massage and himalayan salt massage.  I have also taught massage and surgical skills, as well as running antenatal classes in my years as a surgical nurse and midwife. My particular areas of interest and experience are children with cerebral palsy, oncology, domestic abuse and PTSD, pregnancy and postnatal issues, and women's health and pelvic health conditions. I am also a MASCED accredited certified oncology practitioner and an aromatherapist, producing my own products..I hold specific days for victims of domestic abuse and rape victims within the first 6 months. I have also won 6 awards since November 2021.

Testimonials

"I went for a pregnancy and induction massage as I was almost a week overdue and in desperate need of some comfort. I found Sam to be very welcoming, really knowledgeable and felt in such safe hands. Sam being a qualified midwife was really reassuring especially being so far gone. The massage was SO relaxing and it was the first time in months I felt totally relaxed. I ended up going into spontaneous labour a day later - whether that was because of the massage I can't say for sure but being so relaxed definitely helped. Have recommended Sam to all my NCT mummies." (Balj) "I booked a sports massage because I was suffering from a migraine and thought it could be connected to muscle tension. After Sam massaged my back she recommended a deep tissue and scalp massage instead (at a cheaper cost). I appreciated her knowledge and honesty and felt great afterwards." (Lori) "I had a wonderful pregnancy massage with Sam and came out feeling like my body had been fully refreshed, and the aches and pains had started to fade away. With her also being a qualified midwife I felt in very safe hands. She was also so informative about SPD and sent helpful links after the session. I've already booked in for another before I give birth and also bought the pregnancy pillow she uses as it was so comfortable." (Helen) "I've had many massage over the years, and my session with Sam was the best by far. She has an in depth understanding of the therapeutic effects of massage and is extremely empathetic. I will definitely be seeing her regularly." (Nicky) "I could not recommend The Medical Massage Lady aka Sam enough. I've been looking for a specialist at this calibre for a while and she did not disappoint. My partner has been suffering from a shoulder injury which Sam managed to advise on and help release some of the pain. We were treated exceptionally and we will definitely be back!" (Desi) "Sam made me realise the damage I have done to my body by sitting and sleeping in the wrong ways over many years. she works on problem areas and has some really good advice." (Sandra) "As a sports therapist, it's all too easy to ignore your own aches and pains, so it was a real treat to have found Samon Monday, whose experience, knowledge and professionalism was outstanding. The pressure was perfect. Sam has the skills to unlock tension and mobilise the joints and tissue, so that my body can start to move in the way it's designed. Looking forward to more treatment soon. Thanks Sam!" (Jason) "As someone who also does massage as a job, I only go to Sam!" (Ruth) "Came for swedish massage this week, I definitely feel the benefit from this treatment, Sam is a very caring and professional lady, the treatment you receive is first class, I highly recommend Sam, I definitely will be booking up again." (Kevin) "Sam was great, really reassuring, made me feel comfortable, took away any worries that I had. The massage has helped reduce my pain and relax. If you have any weight gain, don't worry, sam makes you feel perfectly ok. Can't wait to return for further treatment." (Lisa) "I'm so happy to have found Sam. I've been looking for help coping with pains and strains due to endometriosis and stress. Wow from the first treatmentI know I'm in safe hands." (anonymous) "Sam is the best massage therapist I've experienced in the UK. She is highly experienced and knowledgable: I felt in safe hands (excuse the pun!). Will definitely book another appointment in the future." (Nicola)

“I have recently completed a couple Swedish massage course with Sam which I have to say was so much more than I realised it would be. Sam managed the sessions well and inspired confidence in me and fortunately was very patient as I am not too sure I made for the best student ever. Sam was good fun, knowledgeable and came with fresh new equipment delivering a professional product. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sam and in fact now have several friends using Sam’s services.” - Mike

“My partner and I have recently completed a couples Swedish massage course with Sam. She is very knowledgeable about different types of massage and showed us lots of brilliant, easy techniques we can use. Sam is highly professional and incredibly friendly and fun to work with. I would highly recommend her services, Thank you Sam.”- Jacq

 “Would definitely recommend Sam’s sport massage, my legs have never felt better! After going to the gym and doing 3 leg days a week and stretching very little, I have had many injuries that have improved in just one session with Sam.” - Rosie

 “Honestly thank you so much, this has been going on for a year and this is the most information anyone has given me, I haven’t trained upper body for a year and have had to change my career because of the pain… Thank you so much Sam, like I said this is the most help anyone has given me since it first occurred.”- Kyle

 “Sam is amazing and really in tune with her customer’s needs. One of the best massages I have ever had. She is sensitive to the needs of her customers and therefore is able to provide the perfect massage. Thank you so much. Look forward to seeing you soon.” - Vanessa

 “Very knowledgeable and welcoming. Made me feel at ease and knew exactly what I needed to have done. Looking forward to my next appointment." - Carlie
