Shiatsu • Deep Tissue • Back, Neck & Shoulders Massage

The City Zen Sanctuary offers professional therapeutic bodywork in Edinburgh, including Shiatsu, Deep Tissue massage, and Back, Neck & Shoulders treatments, supporting people with stress, tension, pain, and ongoing physical or emotional strain.

Clients book different treatments depending on what they need in the moment:

• Back, Neck & Shoulders massage for focused relief of tension and desk-related strain
• Deep Tissue massage for chronic tightness, restricted movement, or muscular discomfort
• Shiatsu for more holistic support, working with the nervous system, energy balance, and overall wellbeing

All sessions are tailored to the individual and begin with a short consultation. Depending on your needs, treatments may combine elements of different approaches to achieve the most effective outcome. Shiatsu treatments are usually received fully clothed.

Many clients come to the City Zen Sanctuary when they:

• Feel stressed, overwhelmed, or physically run down
• Experience recurring tension or pain that keeps returning
• Want more than a relaxing massage and are seeking therapeutic support
• Are looking for structured care rather than one-off appointments

While a single session can be beneficial, most clients see the greatest improvement through a short series of treatments, allowing the body to respond, adapt, and stabilise over time.
