We believe discovery of any kind, deliberate or not, is aspirational. Bodied is a 'found' experience – one that you arrive at on your time, on your own terms.

At Bodied, we believe in a ‘precovery’ approach to wellness and healthy ageing that goes beyond just traditional massage therapy, this makes us different from a salon, spa, or physical therapy clinic in the conventional sense. Instead, we exist at the intersection of these spaces, offering a potent blend of physical care, education, with a strong commitment to social equity. Our mission is to encourage the global majority to further explore complementary health care, like massage therapy and bodywork, by making it more accessible, affordable, and inclusive.
Founded in 2021, Bodied was created out of a desire to challenge the status quo. We recognised the barriers that many face in accessing quality health and wellness services, particularly as awareness and curiosity in preventative healthcare continues to grow. Our motivator is to close these gaps, ensuring that everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, can benefit from the transformative potential of bodywork.
At Bodied, we are community-driven and dedicated to giving back. We see our role as not only providing exceptional massage therapy, but also in creating a space where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued as equals. Our approach is rooted in the belief that bodywork is not just about physical relief, but also about nurturing positive brain health and mental wellness plus encouraging a deeper exploration of complementary health practices.
Our team of skilled therapists is passionate about healthy ageing and they come by this passion honestly. Each session at Bodied is tailored to the individual, taking into account their unique needs, goals, and requirements. Whether you’re seeking to relieve chronic pain, reduce stress, or simply maintain a balanced lifestyle, we are here to support you in the best possible way.
What is massage and bodywork at Bodied?
If you've never had a massage or any kind of bodywork, this page explains how we do it at Bodied.
Manual manipulation benefits the body’s soft tissue. Therefore, massage therapy can progressively change the tone of connective tissues like muscles, tendons, and ligaments, which are affected by life’s wear and tear.
Techniques like deep tissue, sports and pregnancy massage combat the negative effects of stress on the body, targeting acute and chronic pain, disorders and ‘knots’ (trigger points).
From our East London studio, we offer a curated range of massage therapy. Our therapists bring their own professional flare to the studio and are expertly trained in the following:
-
Deep tissue massage
-
Sports massage
-
Myofascial release
-
Pre- and post-natal massage
-
Trigger point therapy
-
Therapeutic massage

Our mission is to provide the necessary tools, products and treatments to support good neurological health and promote physical health and wellbeing.
