Makepeace and Massage

To different places and allowing us to engage in various activities. At Makepeace & Massage, located in the picturesque town of Didcot in South Oxfordshire, we aim to bring awareness and understanding to the incredible complexity and functionality of the human body.

Makepeace & Massage was founded by Carmen Makepeace, an Advanced Clinical Massage and Rehabilitation specialist. Carmen's journey into massage therapy began after completing her PhD in Nuclear Fusion Reactor Materials and witnessing her mother's chronic pain and osteoarthritis. Determined to provide relief and support to her mother and others experiencing similar pain, Carmen pursued a career in massage therapy.

With a passion for learning and a genuine desire to help others, Carmen has obtained the highest qualifications in massage and soft tissue therapies in the UK. She has also personally experienced and overcome her own challenges, including a skull fracture and a car accident, which deepened her understanding of the healing process and the impact of stress on the body.

At Makepeace & Massage, our focus is on providing a holistic approach to our clients' well-being. We believe in addressing both pain relief and relaxation. Whether you are seeking relief from chronic conditions, recovering from injuries, or simply wanting to unwind and rejuvenate, we offer a range of integrated treatments tailored to your specific needs.

We begin with a thorough consultation, taking into consideration your full case history and conducting an orthopaedic assessment. This allows us to understand your unique needs and develop a personalised treatment plan. Our treatment techniques include hot stones massage, myofascial release, deep tissue massage, sports massage, stretching, acupressure, trigger-point therapies, and pregnancy massage. We also provide rehabilitation programmes tailored to your needs, incorporating mobilisations, strength training, proprioception exercises, and stretches.

In addition to our in-person treatments, we also offer online programming and education about the body. We believe that knowledge is power, and we strive to empower our clients with an understanding of their muscles and fascia through informative and fun videos. We also provide at-home self-care stretches to help you build daily habits that prevent pain.

Our clinic is custom-built and designed to create a welcoming and tranquil environment. We strive to greet every person who walks through our doors with empathy and care. Our goal is for you to leave our clinic with renewed optimism, lower levels of pain, easier movement, and greater joy.

Located in West Hagbourne, our clinic is easily accessible and offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
