Meet Ian
My love of sport, especially running, guided me into a career of massage therapy. An introduction to yoga has increased my awareness on how well the body responds to deep static stretching when incorporated into training. As a distance runner I’ve been able to integrate first-hand knowledge of common tension sites into my treatment methods, for sporting and everyday life stressors….

Treatments
Hayes Massage offers a mobile service specialising in relaxing and hot stone massages, sports massage, and deep tissue treatments.
Holistic Massage:
A gentle, relaxing massage designed to ease tension and calm the mind. Using smooth, flowing techniques, this treatment works across the body's soft tissues to encourage relaxation and restore a sense of well-being. A good choice whether you're carrying everyday stress or simply want some time to unwind.
Sports Massage:
A deeper, more focused treatment that targets specific muscles, joints and tendons. Particularly effective for easing persistent aches and tightness, sports massage uses firmer pressure and can include stretching to help restore movement and relieve discomfort. Despite the name, you don't need to be sporty to benefit; it's suitable for anyone seeking a more therapeutic approach.
Hot Stone Massage:
Smooth heated stones are used alongside hands-on massage to warm the muscles and melt away deeper tension. The heat encourages the body to relax more fully, making this a wonderfully soothing experience. A good option if you want something a little more indulgent, or if your muscles tend to hold a lot of tightness.
Products:
Ian uses Songbird massage waxes and balms, made in Somerset. A blend of natural oils and beeswax, they melt smoothly into the skin and feel lovely to work with for all treatments. A vegan option is available. Just let Ian know your scent preference before your treatment.
