Shine Holistic

Though they use many of the same techniques and depth of pressure, a Sports Massage would focus on a specific injury, if that is what you have booked in to get help for. Depending on your injury your Practitioner at Shine health salons in North London would potentially include resisted stretches and other mobilisation techniques to help you.

A Sports Massage would not be a holistic full body treatment. Whereas a Deep Tissue massage can still focus on a specific issue, but you can also have an all-over treatment with deep tissue. However, you may be advised to keep the focus on key areas of tension, as you need time for your muscles to allow the deep tissue work to take place. Each treatment is tailor-made to your needs. Your Practitioner can advise you accordingly.​

Feel free to email our Practitioners directly to ask about your condition or symptoms, else you can contact the clinic manager sophie@shineholistic.co.uk.​

We will not be able to tell without you either coming in to see one of the Practitioners, or you gaining advice from your Doctor first, depending upon the nature of your injury. Our Front of House Team will not make that choice for you.  Generally Osteopath’s deal more with the skeletal system than Physio’s, but really they both deal with all levels of tissue and mobility. So whichever you prefer to choose, we will still be able to help you a great deal and can potentially cross-refer if they deem it necessary.​

Anxiety can be treated in different ways, so it depends on your preference. If you enjoy the power of touch, then massage, reflexology or craniosacral therapy can be amazing at easing the nervous system. However perhaps you want to look at the cause of your anxiety through what you are putting into your body, so we could recommend seeing a Nutritionist, Naturopath or Homeopath to see if there is some form of imbalance to address.

Another option is to look holistically through Acupuncture, to see if you have any blockages of Chi and are dealing with overstimulation in your kidneys for example. Finding the right treatment can be like an adventure, as you get to ask yourself, what do I feel I could really do with? Do I need to be more physically relaxed? Or do I just really need to talk to someone? We have great counsellors at hand also.​

blogs below with recommended trigger therapy, acupuncture or osteopathy. ​If you feel that you are getting headaches because of stress or overwhelm, then like anxiety, it can be useful to relax your body’s nervous system through massage, reflexology or craniosacral therapy also.

All of our Practitioners are self-employed, so work in this way. However, some Practitioners offer a bank transfer option, once you have committed to wanting to pay for a block of treatments, which they would arrange with you personally. 

We need up to 24 hours notice for you to cancel. If you cancel within 24hours of treatment, you will be asked to pay the full amount of your treatment as the cancellation fee. ​
