About Level 5 Therapies
At Level 5 Therapies, we believe massage isn’t just for when something hurts. We see massage as proactive, not just reactive - helping you stay comfortable, mobile and confident, rather than waiting until pain forces you to stop.
Our vision is simple: to create a welcoming space where anyone can access high-quality, professional massage as part of their normal routine. Whether you’re training for an event, managing a busy lifestyle, recovering from surgery, or simply wanting to feel more comfortable in your body, our treatments are designed to support real life.
Creating a calm, supportive atmosphere where you feel listened to is at the heart of what we do. By taking the time to understand what’s going on for you, we tailor each treatment to your body and your goals; whether that’s easing persistent aches, improving mobility, supporting recovery, or helping you switch off at the end of a busy day.
Our clients range from runners and gym-goers to busy professionals and people who simply want to move through life with less discomfort.
People visit us for many different reasons, including:
-
Tight hips and legs from running or training
-
Neck and shoulder tension from long hours at a desk
-
Lower back discomfort and postural aches
-
General muscular tightness and everyday aches and pains
-
Recovery after surgery or injury
-
Taking time to relax and reset
Whatever brings you through the door, you’ll receive thoughtful, personalised treatment in a friendly and professional setting.
We look forward to seeing you in clinic.
Meet Rachel
Founder and Soft Tissue Therapist
Hi, I’m Rachel. I got into massage through my own experience of just how much of a difference it can make. After years sitting at a desk alongside training for triathlons, I was often left with constant neck and shoulder tension, regular headaches and those tell tale niggles in my lower back. Then I discovered sports massage. It made a huge difference and showed me that you don’t just have to put up with these aches and pains.
After leaving corporate life, I went on to qualify in Sports and Remedial Massage in 2018. I initially worked in a physiotherapy clinic, where I gained valuable experience as part of a multidisciplinary team. In 2019 I opened Level 5 Therapies. It had always been my dream to create a space where everyone feels welcome and can enjoy high quality massage, whether you’re sporty or just managing everyday aches.
In 2024 I trained in Restore Scar Therapy after discovering how scars can quietly limit movement and create hidden tightness. Helping people feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies is something I really enjoy.
I focus on helping you recover so you can keep doing the things you love, with less pain and more freedom in your movement. That could be through hands on treatment, practical advice, or sometimes pointing you in the direction of someone else if I’m not the right person to help.
