I tried a facial here the other day and absolutely loved it! My skin looked great afterwards, and the lymphatic drainage really helped reduce puffiness. It was so relaxing. I left feeling refreshed from head to toe. Highly recommend!

Not sure which massage is right for you? Here are the questions we’re asked most often. If yours isn’t here, message us on WhatsApp and we’ll be happy to help.
What happens during a massage?
Your therapist starts by asking about your symptoms, muscle tightness and activity level. They warm up the muscles with gentle strokes, then apply focused pressure to tight or knotted areas, followed by assisted stretches to improve flexibility. The session ends with calming techniques to ease soreness, plus simple aftercare tips on hydration, stretching and recovery.
Which massage should I choose?
If you’re not sure, tell us how you’re feeling when you book and we’ll recommend the right treatment.
What’s the difference between sports massage and deep tissue massage?
Both work deeply into the muscles. Sports massage focuses on recovery, flexibility and performance for active people, often with stretching, while deep tissue massage targets long-standing tension and tightness, such as from desk work or stress.
Does deep tissue massage hurt?
It can feel firm, and you may feel a little sore for a day or two afterwards, much like after a workout. Your therapist will always check the pressure with you and adjust it to your comfort.
Can massage help with a sports injury?
Massage can help ease tight, overworked muscles and support your recovery. For a new or painful injury, we recommend seeing an osteopath first to assess what’s going on, then adding massage to your plan. Find out more about our sports injury treatment.
Can massage help with back or neck pain?
Massage can relieve muscle tension that contributes to back and neck pain, especially from long hours at a desk. For ongoing or severe pain, we recommend combining it with osteopathy. Find out more about our back pain treatment and neck pain treatment.
Is massage safe during pregnancy?
Yes, our pregnancy massage uses safe, specialised techniques and comfortable positioning adapted to each stage of pregnancy. Let us know how far along you are when you book. Find out more about our pregnancy massage.
Can I combine massage with osteopathy?
Yes, and many clients do. Osteopathy treats the cause of pain and restores movement, while massage releases muscle tension and supports recovery between sessions.
What should I wear?
You’ll be draped with towels throughout and only the area being treated is uncovered. For sports massage, you’re welcome to wear shorts or bring comfortable clothing.
What should I do after a massage?
Drink plenty of water, keep moving gently and avoid intense exercise for the rest of the day. Your therapist will give you personalised aftercare advice.
Is massage covered by insurance?
Some health insurance plans cover massage therapy. Check your policy, and our team can provide receipts for your claim.
Where are massages available?
At our Central clinic, at 6/F, 15 On Lan Street, and our Stanley clinic, at G/F, 120 Stanley Main Street.
Every person is different, so is the way we approach care.

We got the chance to have Faustine by our side to welcome our second baby. She is an amazing and very experienced midwife, with strong empathy and great dedication to her patients. She is very attentive and always opened to answer our stressed parents’ questions. My post-partum was more peaceful than the first one, and Faustine is definitely one of the reasons !

Mr Monnerville was our family osteopath!
I have been a professional athlete for many years, part of the Saber Fencing French National Team. I immediately recognized JC’s abilities.
First time I met him, I could barely walk because of back pain, within an hour I was able to run.
My older daughter was a few months old, she had some pus in the eyes for a couple of weeks. One session with JC and it was all gone. With such a gentle touch, he released the pressure her skull was applying on lacrymal canal.
JC isn’t only talented on a physical level but also energetic. His approach is holistic, very gentle and very honest.

Great osteopath, very professional, providing very good advice and good listener. I strongly recommend Mr Monnerville.

JC is a complete and true osteopath. His skills are a combination of years of education and experience that I highly recommend. Please go to see him if you need help with pain? He is great.

I reached a point where I realised no matter how many tools, books, or people I turned to, the work I was doing just wasn’t cutting it. My stress and anxiety had built up over years – it pushed me to achieve a lot, but I found myself in a place where I couldn’t balance it all without it taking a big toll on my energy and general happiness.
I’ve worked in health and fitness for years, helping clients transform their physical health. So I thought I could just follow my own advice, but it wasn’t working.
The more I tried to think my way out of my anxiety, the worse it got. When I met Liisa, she didn’t pry or push, but gave me the tools and space to figure things out. It was about small, simple actions – 2 or 3 things to work on today or tomorrow. And it turns out the stuff I really had been avoiding, brought about the biggest results.
Combined with the guided breathwork, it was a life changing programme with her. I also kept up the work whilst travelling.
I’ve learnt so much, and I’m beyond grateful for the peace of mind I’ve found through her help. I didn’t need ‘saving’ or pulling out of a hole in my life. I just wanted to make sure that I could sustain and enjoy the career/lifestyle I had spent years trying to create for myself.
