If you juggle work, home and everything in between, this brings reliable relief in a small window, with a calm, refined experience from start to finish. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Allow around 25 to 30 minutes for the treatment, plus a few minutes for a short consultation and to settle in and out. It fits comfortably into a lunch break or early evening, and we can focus the work even more if your time is very tight. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Drink water, keep warm and avoid heavy exercise for a few hours. Gentle neck and shoulder stretches and good posture habits will help maintain ease. Many clients return every 2 to 4 weeks for maintenance; book sooner if tension is acute. If you experience persistent or severe pain, please seek advice from your GP.
