Massage therapy in Lancing, at a pressure that suits you

Pressure ranges from gentle to firm, depending on what you prefer, and many people find it a good way to switch off. Your massage is given by Khaled Ben Moussa, a registered osteopath, in a calm, private treatment room on Sompting Road.

What it may help with

• Everyday muscle tension and stiffness
• Tight neck, shoulders and upper back
• Tension from desk work or posture
• Relaxation and time to unwind
• Support for wider osteopathic treatment

What to expect

Khaled first asks about your health and where you'd like him to focus, to check massage is suitable for you. Let him know about any recent injuries, operations, skin conditions or other medical conditions.

You undress only as far as you're comfortable, and towels keep you covered throughout. Tell him at any point if you'd like lighter or firmer pressure, or if you'd rather he avoided an area.

Afterwards, drink some water and take the rest of the day gently if you can. Some people feel a little tender the next day, especially after firmer work.
