"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 Istvan

When you book a massage with me, you’re not getting a routine rub-down. You’re getting someone who genuinely listens — to what you tell me, and to what your body tells me.

I tune into your nervous system to find the right approach for your body on that day. Sometimes that’s firm, targeted pressure to release a stubborn knot. Other times it’s long, flowing strokes to calm your system down before I go deeper. I communicate throughout — either by asking, or by reading how your muscles respond to what I’m doing.

My clients describe the experience as “feeling heard, understood, and taken care of.” That matters to me more than any technique.

What I blend into every treatment:

  • Deep tissue massage
  • Sports massage techniques
  • Swedish massage
  • Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage)
  • Trigger point therapy
  • Passive and active stretching

I call it deep tissue, but really it’s whatever your body needs that day. I work with you, not on you.

Who I work with:

Runners, gym-goers, office workers, tradespeople — anyone who uses their body hard and wants to keep it working well. Whether you have a specific issue to resolve or you see me regularly for maintenance, the goal is always the same: leave feeling better than you arrived.

My background:

I knew early on that I had a gift for this work. 22 years ago I trained at Newcastle College, then completed intensive deep tissue and hot stones training with Steiner International before joining a 5-star spa on a luxury cruise ship in Hawaii. Hundreds of massages and glowing reviews later, I settled in Edinburgh — and I’ve been here ever since, building a loyal client base through word-of-mouth and consistently excellent results.

I still love this work as much as day one. Seeing how a good massage changes the way someone moves, sleeps, and feels in their body — that never gets old.

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!

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 🙌🏽

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.

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.

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.
