Our therapists have recently attended Advanced Massage Training with Helen McGuinness. Helen has over 35 years of massage experience and has traveled the world gaining experience and techniques in this field. Her aim is to make sure the therapists work ‘Smarter not Harder’. At The Courtyard we want our clients to receive the very best treatments whilst looking after the health and well-being of our staff.

We are now introducing the use of Bamboo rods into our existing massage to enable our therapists to deliver better results to our clients whilst reducing the levels of fatigue caused by the repeated delivery of firm pressure. Your therapist will discuss your requirements before the massage and even if you have always had very firm pressure, and feel you need to ‘hurt’ for it to work you will notice increased benefits with these new techniques.

Clients are increasingly requesting deeper and more advanced massages due to their effectiveness in treating a host of specific issues, the most prevalent being back and shoulder pain. The techniques learned on this course should help relieve tension without the need for extreme pressure and will enable our therapists to be more specific in their treatments.
