Massage is one of the oldest methods of healing; its origins can be traced back nearly 4000 years.
A massage is a great way to relax but at the Aberdeen Osteopathy and Massage Clinic we use massage as part of a comprehensive programme of treatments for a range of health and wellbeing issues. It is a powerful tool in maintaining good health and we use it as part of a holistic therapeutic approach that compliments medical treatment.
Our highly trained and knowledgeable massage therapists use massage therapy to relieve pain by reducing muscle spasm and joint soreness. This assists in rehabilitation, improves range of motion in joints, speeds up tissue repair, breaks down scar tissue (old injuries can leave scar tissue that can contract and cause pain), improves circulation of blood and lymph, which flushes out waste products, improves mood and general well-being and helps with sleep.
That is why regular massage therapy should be part of your everyday life.
Massage comes in all shapes and sizes and at Aberdeen Osteopathy And Massage Clinic our expert team deliver a range of massage treatments including advanced remedial massage, sports massage & rehabilitation, Pada Abhyanga (Ayurvedic foot massage), Indian head massage, hot stones massage and pregnancy massage.
In addition, we are now able to deliver shockwave therapy treatments which stimulates the body’s natural self-healing process. This treatment is effective at treating plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow and a range of other treatments.
So…whether you want a relaxing massage or need treatment for a specific injury, pain or discomfort, please get in touch.
Other treatments

Sports Massage & Rehabilitation
Most sporting activities can contribute to muscle groups becoming repetitively overused which in turn can result in dysfunction developing within the soft tissue. Sports massage is beneficial to incorporate into any level of training regime.

Active Isolated Stretching
Flexibility and proper stretching play a crucial role in enhancing performance and rehabilitation as well as an important role in overall wellness. Flexibility is specific to each joint. Work or exercise requiring repeated overuse of the same muscles day in day out confines joints within a restricted range of motion and tends to reduce flexibility. Active Isolated Stretching is an effective technique that can easily be learned.

Linda H ★★★★★I first visited Abdul a few years ago with numbness in my hand which I had for a long time. He quickly diagnosed the problem started from my neck and after a few sessions I was pain free. This has been maintained by regular visits. I recently had severe pain in my upper leg which Abdul managed to pinpoint and treat immediately although I had suffered on and off for months. I cannot recommend him highly enough and also the pre-treatment massages from his team. Always professional and accommodating while taking a holistic approach to treatment.
