6 Week Desk Worker's Reset
If you spend your days battling a desk, a laptop, bosses and employees at both ends, and the slow creep of neck, shoulder, or lower-back tension, this is your reset button.
The 6-Week Desk Worker’s Reset Program is designed for people who want more energy, less pain, and a body that feels like theirs again, without needing a gym membership or a complete lifestyle overhaul.
What’s Included?
Weekly 1:1 Pain-Relief Massage Sessions (6 sessions)
Each session targets the posture-related knots and tightness that build up from long hours of sitting. Depending on what your body needs each week, you may experience:
- Deep tissue and sports massage
- Soft tissue release
- Trigger point therapy
- Instrument-assisted work (scraping)
- Hot stones for stubborn tension
- Realistic counselling and mindfulness techniques
- Functional dry needling (if appropriate and you're willing)
Your treatment is tailored each time, no copy paste routines.
A Personal Reset Plan
You’ll get a simple, realistic plan that fits around your workday, including:
- Easy desk-friendly mobility routines
- Two-minute “rescue” techniques for flare-ups
- Better-posture habits that actually stick
- Optional strengthening for key problem areas (hips, glutes, upper back)
No hour-long rehab workouts. No overwhelm. Just the essentials that make the biggest difference.
Progress Check-Ins
At weeks 1, 3, and 6 we review what’s changing. Less stiffness, better range of motion, improved mental health, whatever matters to you. We adjust as we go so you’re always getting what works.

Sports Massage
Sports massage is an investigative treatment, usually focussed on 1-3 main areas of ongoing pain or injury. It isn't necessarily for sports people only, in fact my main clientele are desk workers with stiff necks and backs. The techniques are very similar to Swedesh massage in practice.
Deep Tissue Massage reaches deeper layers of muscles. It doesn't necessarily mean super deep and painful, it's just a much slower, more focussed type of work on particular areas that might need some extra warmth and deep movement to really help your body get the hint. This massage is beneficial for athletes, and those who sit for long periods of time.
Swedish Massage
The goal of Swedish Massage is to melt away muscle tension and increase the blood flow to your heart. Swedish Massage is extremely therapeutic as it relaxes the whole body, refreshes the mind, and can even help with injury prevention and headaches. Swedish treatment doesn't necessarily mean fluffy, but it does tend to feel more profound and relaxing than the investigative nature of sports massage.
Hot Stones Massage
Close to the gentlest end of the massage spectrum, we find hot stones massage. The slow, steady antidote to tension that’s been quietly building for far too long. When muscles feel guarded, stubborn, or simply tired of being prodded by elbows, heat becomes the perfect persuader.
The basic idea is simple, smooth basalt stones are warmed to a carefully controlled temperature and placed or glided over your muscles. The heat coaxes stubborn tissue into softening, almost like warming cold butter so it spreads smoothly rather than tearing the toast. As the deeper layers begin to relax, circulation increases, easing out that familiar tightness without having to dig aggressively.
Despite what it looks like, it’s far from a spa gimmick. Once the stones settle into the tissue, your nervous system starts to downshift, allowing your breath, muscles, and even your mood to follow suit. It often surprises people how little pressure is needed. The warmth does half the work, especially on those areas that normally brace as soon as you touch them.
Placement, temperature, and movement are all adjusted based on what your body needs. Sometimes the stones stay still to gently melt through a taut band. Other times they’re used almost like an extension of my hands to lengthen and soothe muscle tissue. Most clients barely notice the transitions, only the growing sense of heaviness and release.
When my neck or forearms start complaining after a busy week, I’m the first to reach for my own set of stones. Heat works, and it's a personal favourite.
Indian Head Massage
The indian head massage (or Primaris head massage as it's called at EP) mixes the calmer therapeutic benefits of Aruvedic Indian head massage, with modern pain relief techniques, headache soothing, and aiding sleep.
It quietly lifts the pressure from your shoulders, softens your jaw, and gives your mind a chance to settle. When tension gathers at the base of your skull or your thoughts feel tight and cluttered, this approach offers a gentle way back to your normal self.
The treatment helps to release the small pockets of tension that build up during long days at a desk. Even though the touch is gentle, it is not only for relaxation. Working through the scalp and the top of the spine influences how your whole system feels. Breathing becomes deeper. The shoulders begin to lower. The mind becomes quieter without you having to try.
Everything is adjusted to suit what your body responds to. Some areas need slow sweeping movements. Others respond better to small circular pressure or careful work around the temples and the base of the neck. Most clients notice only a growing sense of warmth and release, as if the body has finally decided to let go.
Slightly Spicier Treatments
Dynamic Cupping
Cupping is often paired with Swedish or Sports Massage.
in it's modern modality, this will use infrared heat and a 'breathing' vacuum to warm, and massage your muscles.
This increases hyperemia (blood flow/the red marks) which allows your body to relax and release tension and stress, recovering pain areas quicker. Especially good for DOMS and those aggressive golf ball knots.
IASTM
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization was an ancient roman technique to help recover athletes from pain and fevers.
Modern evidence based IASTM is born in the 1980s, combining Chinese Gua Sha and friction massage to reduce adhesions around scar tissue, increase mobility and invoke local hyperemia (blood flow).
Using up to 6 stainless steel tools for sweeping, stretching, and holding trigger points.
Great for longevity in sports, increased recovery, pain relief and range of motion. Perfect for myofascial restrictions, tendon issues, sprains and strains, plantar fasciatis, IT band tighness, neck, and back pain.
Dry Needling
On the furthest end of the sports massage spetrum, we have functional dry needling. If a taut band (painful knotty part) is ever present after using hands, knuckles, positional release, and even trigger point holds and soft tissue scraping, we have the ultimate fast track.
The basic concept of dry needling is to make a narrow (microfilament) passage through your toughened tissue, which may have built up into ischemea and even hypoxia (think too many people trying to squeeze through a door, then using up all the oxygen in the room).
the practice doesn't feel as barbaric as it looks, after an initial flick through the skin, the body is amazingly capable of forgetting that you're doing a hedgehog impression, while also opening up your circulation in the area for an incredible healing effect.
The direction and angle of entry is carefully considered based on you personally, and certain 'activations' might be carried out to try and ilicit a response from the muscle, such as light flicks, turning the needle, or peppering in and out. These are rarely felt by the client.
In line with my personal mission to avoid treatment quackery, I gladly do this to myself if I overuse my shoulder.
Putting it All Together
You might notice when you click 'Book Now' anywhere on this website, (or on google, or my Facebook), that you can't specifically choose Sports, Swedish, Deep Tissue, etc from the menu.
This is because it's down to me to figure out what's best for you, after you've chosen your time and area of issue. Upper body, full body, wherever you find you need help.
It's also not a silent treatment, so you can always tell me if you need to change gears to a harder treatment, or to lessen the pressue in some painful areas.
The most important part of any treatment is that you're comfortable with what you're getting, whether it's just hands and music, or wheeling out the whole tool kit.
