Andy Macdonald

I hold a diploma in therapeutic, sports & advanced remedial massage, hyperton-x, electrotherapy & currently studying for a diploma in treatment of musculoskelatal conditions with the freedom from pain institute.

My interest in massage therapy stemmed from my own experience of successful treatment for severe nerve impingement which seriously affected all aspects of everyday life, a few treatments cured a problem that had been plaguing me for months, and inspired me to change career and train to devlop the type off skills that helped me so i could pass on assistance to others in similar situations.

I have been in the industry for about 12 years now and during that time have treated several professional sportsmen , as well as amateur athletes competing at a high level , this experience in assisting people   with soft tissue , tendon and ligament  injuries , and also using stretching and mobilisation techniques in the rehabilitation after injury has helped me in my continuous learning process of restoring function and mobility in individuals who have suffered an injury or restrictive condition  .

This method of treatment has proved very effective in treating everyday conditions such as sciatic impingement,frozen shoulder, joint problems , muscle strains and tears & tendon and ligament conditions , with the goal of trying to help the client regain normal function and optimum mobility so they can get back to everyday life without pain or restricted movement

Kasia Turon

I’m a Remedial Massage and Sport Therapist. I’m an affiliated member of Scottish Massage Therpaist Organisation (SMTO). Being a fitness instructor as well helps me in prescribing exercises depending on the client’s needs. Alongside Sport Therapy certificate I also completed my professional training from World Massage Federation qualifying me to perform stages 1 & 2 of Classical Therapeutic Massage, Relaxation, Swedish, Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, Lymphatic drainage and various styles of relaxing treatments like Hot Stones, Chinese Cupping.

In everday practice my goal is to help clients by easing their aches and pains using various techniques available. I apply Muscle Energy Technique, Positional Release Technique, Trigger Point therapy, Cupping, Soft Tissue Release and combine them to treat various musculoskeletal issues. I always look at the client holistically and the treatment is tailored individually. I believe massage is not only medicine for sore muscles but it has a huge impact on reducing the level of stress which is one of the biggest factors in causing illness. My passion is getting to the root of the problem and eliminating it, simple but that’s all we need.


Lucie Ramsey

I’m Lucie Ramsey, a qualified Massage Therapist since 2023, specialising in Dr. Vodder’s Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and Deep Oscillation Therapy. I am also a qualified reflexologist.

My training includes certification in Dr. vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage Level 1 which qualifies me to help those suffering with post operative swelling and bruising, especially after cosmetic surgery procedures and supporting those managing digestive imbalances, headaches, poor circulation, fluid retention, fatigue and those seeking to support their bodies natural detoxification processes. I can incorporate reflexology into the treatment as well as MLD if I feel this would be beneficial. Treatments I provide are always tailored to each individual person’s unique needs, with a strong emphasis on safe, effective non-invasive care.

I graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a Hons Degree in English Literature in 2001. 1 lived in Melbourne for 10 years, attaining Australian citizenship. I worked as a Case Manager supporting people with dual sensory loss (vision and hearing) and worked as an Auslan (Australian Sign Language) interpreter. Due to a close personal family connection experience with MLD and Deep Oscillation Therapy (a close family member had breast cancer, surgery, lymph node removal and subsequent lymphoedema) and having seen the incredible benefits for my family member as a result of MLD and Deep Oscillation therapy first hand, and realising how few suitably qualified therapists there are in this field especially in Scotland, I decided to study and qualify in this area with the aim of supporting anyone who needs this highly specialised but vital treatment. I will be qualified to stage 3 level of MLD by December, 2025 when I will be able to treat those with Lymphoedema.
