Do I need a GP referral for physiotherapy?

No. You can book directly with us for assessment and treatment. However, if you're using private health insurance, check your policy requirements.

How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

This varies by condition. Acute injuries often improve in 3-6 sessions. Chronic conditions may need 8-12 sessions. We'll give you an honest assessment after your first appointment.

What's the difference between physiotherapy and massage?

Physiotherapy diagnoses and treats the cause of your problem using joint mobilization, exercise prescription, and rehabilitation. Massage treats muscle tension and aids recovery but doesn't address biomechanical dysfunction.

Can physiotherapy help if I've had pain for years?

Yes. Many of our best results come from treating chronic conditions that people have struggled with for years. It's never too late to improve function and reduce pain.

Is physiotherapy covered by insurance?

We're recognized providers for all major insurers including Bupa, AXA, and Aviva. Contact your provider to confirm coverage details and any excess payments.

Stop Living With Tension, Stress, And Head Pain That Drains Your Energy

Warwick & Stratford upon Avon’s Specialist Indian Head Massage

Are you fed up with:

Constant neck, shoulder, or scalp tension that never fully goes away?

Stress headaches or migraines that creep in by the end of the day?

Feeling mentally exhausted, wired, or unable to properly switch off?

Poor sleep caused by stress, anxiety, or tightness through your upper body?

Quick fix treatments that feel nice for an hour… then everything tightens straight back up?

What if you could release deep tension, calm your nervous system, and feel lighter, clearer, and more relaxed without medication, invasive treatments, or “pushing through” another stressful week?

Indian Head Massage isn’t just relaxing it’s a powerful way to reset your body and mind, ease persistent tension, and restore balance where stress hits hardest.

The Real Reason Your Pain Keeps Coming Back

Most treatments calm symptoms not the source of your tension.

Painkillers may dull a headache.
Rest might help you feel better for a few hours.
But neither addresses why stress, tension, and discomfort keep returning.

Indian Head Massage is different.

Instead of chasing symptoms, we target the root causes of upper-body tension.
including chronic stress, nervous system overload, poor posture, and deep muscle tightness through the scalp, neck, shoulders, and upper back.

By releasing these areas and down-regulating your nervous system, Indian Head Massage helps your body switch out of fight-or-flight, allowing true recovery to happen.

The result?

Fewer headaches and migraines
Reduced neck and shoulder tension
Better sleep and mental clarity
Lasting relief not just short-term relaxation

This isn’t just about feeling relaxed for an hour.

It’s about restoring balance, reducing stress at its source, and helping your body function better long term.
