“Is This You?”

Constant back or shoulder pain from desk work or physical activities?
Running on empty— mentally and physically?
Can’t find time to visit a spa or clinic?
Still looking for the right therapist?
Never able to make time for yourself?

⛔ Driving to a massage then finding no parking? That increases stress.

"The best in the business!!!I first came to Istvan to support my preparations to play international sport in 2018 and I continue to see him regularly to this day.He is excellent at what he does and I always leave feeling restored, refreshed and relaxed.He applies the right amount of pressure during massages and has great empathy and intuition, which makes the experience so much more enjoyable.I recommend him very highly!"

Meet the Team

My name is Istvan and I’m 46 years old, have been with my partner Margaret since 2007 and we have one son who is now 16.

I am a massage therapist with over 20 years of experience and my treatments combine all my accrued knowledge to melt away your daily stresses.

I deeply believe in the benefits of massage and apply my knowledge with confidence focusing on your goals and the reasons you wanted a massage – and always aim to offer a rejuvenating experience.

I truly immerse myself in the treatment each time and at the end of the massage I leave you assured that you’ve been heard, understood and have been taken good care of.

Blending Eastern and Western massage techniques learned in the past 2 decades, I ensure you get a tailored, high quality, professional treatment every time we meet, provided in the comfort of your own home.

I guide myself by the principles and frequencies of Love/Creation and Gratitude/Wholeness bringing lightness into your life.

My background and experience

As for my background I have received my VTCT Level 3 in Swedish massage training in Newcastle College England back in July 2005, then saw the opportunity to work on luxury cruise ships. Additional, intensive training with Steiner International in Elemis massages (Hot-Stones and Deep -tissue) followed, before I’ve joined my first ship in Hawaii.

Thousands of massages later and packed with confidence boosting reviews from my clients, I’ve decided to become self-employed in Edinburgh.

I tailor my massages to your specific needs, focusing on alleviating pain and discomfort within your body.

I always look to find the source of injury first then massage those areas thoroughly to reduce pain and increase mobility and flexibility. I work within your tolerances, adjusting the depth of massage to ensure it is comfortable for you. My clients typically find that regular massage brings long-term improvement in their conditions and we increase depth over time.

These client testimonials bear that out – here.

I am continuously improving myself by keeping up-to-date with the latest developments in the field of massage and introducing new techniques and elements that keep the massage efficient and interesting for both me and my clients.

What Clients Say About Me

Istvan is amazing! I get a regular deep-tissue massage from him and it's fantastic. I've had various back issues over the years and have tried many different therapists, but he is far and away the best. He is helpful with advice and fun to chat with. I'm scared to recommend him in case he gets too busy!

Lorna

School Teacher

I cannot speak highly enough of Istvan and his services. As a plumber and heating engineer, my body takes a fair beating on a daily basis, and without the years of treatments and massage that Istvan has provided I would be in a pretty bad way! From preventative massage, to helping cure any repetitive strain injury, Istvan has been second to non. Not only is it great for the body, but also for the mind, I thoroughly look forward to being able to switch off and receive an hours treatment in the calming setting that Istvan sets up. If you’ve got a niggle or an ailment needing worked on, Istvan is your guy. Thanks for helping look after my aches and pains all these years, I appreciate it 🙌🏽

Samuel Charles

Plumber, Heating engineer

I have been seeing Istvan for sports massage and recovery for a few years now, he is always on time, very professional and never fails to "fix" me. Whether is the shoulder, back or ITB, he always knows the right points to work on to relieve pain and to get me back to full function. On the rare occasion that nothing bothers me, he adapts the massage to either relaxing or lymphatic drainage to improve circulation. His time is great value for money and I could not recommend him any higher.

Dana Hamlin

Insurance Broker

I’ve been to a ton of massage therapists over the years because of sports and martial arts injuries, and honestly, Istvan is in a league of his own.He figured out exactly what was wrong and used the right techniques to fix it. After just a couple of sessions, I experienced significant improvement in both pain and mobility – something that’s rare with other service providers I've tried.If you’re dealing with pain or injuries, definitely go see him. Best therapist I’ve worked with, hands down.

Constantine

Office worker, Gym Goer

Easily the best massage I have ever had. I have tried a lot of massage therapists in my life, some of them were unduly expensive, but none of them came close to Istvan. Besides that the actual sessions are fantastic because of his skilful technique and approach, he really cares about your well-being and follows up with you. I am suffering from chronic neck and back pain and ever since I have started with Istvan I feel better, which is a revelation after trying out multiple physiotherapists, massage practitioners and even chiropractors. Also, he comes to your place, which is very convenient (you can put your own music on), and the prices are more than fair. I can only recommend Istvan.
