MEET MARK
Why massages?
I’m Mark, a qualified masseur based in Tamworth, Staffordshire. I live with my partner of 5 years and have spent the last 8 years building a corporate career. Yes, that can be mentally stimulating and challenging, but a couple of years ago I found I was wanting something different, I wanted do something physical and I wanted to work with people.
I’ve been on my own journey to improve my fitness and overall health and have been helped along the way by regular sports massage sessions. Getting the knots out can be painful but boy do I feel great after! I want to do this for other people. So whether you’re needing recovery from a specific injury or just want to maintain your body condition, I’m here to help!
What’s a Masseur for Men?
Put bluntly, we men are generally pretty bad at listening to our bodies when they tell us they need recovery and we are also pretty rubbish at handling intimacy. A massage of any kind is inherently intimate - be it relaxation, sports or one of those intense ones where you get beaten with bamboo in a rainforest! The client and the masseur need to be comfortable with the touch and vulnerability that can come with that. I chose to focus my work on men to provide a safe space for men to give their body what it needs. I understand it can be a daunting prospect to go for a first massage and can even seem a little less than ‘alpha masculine’. But regardless of how you feel, I’m here to provide a place to relax and recover to help maintain and grow your health and fitness.
