Welcome to Arnika Therapies

I’m Robyn, a qualified massage and soft tissue therapist with a clinical focus on relieving muscular tension caused by desk-based work, poor posture, and repetitive movement patterns.

I began my professional journey in holistic therapies, building a foundation in Swedish massage and intuitive bodywork. As my practice evolved, I undertook further training in sports massage therapy to better understand and address the underlying causes of muscular pain and movement restriction. This blend of holistic and therapeutic approaches allows me to treat both the symptoms and the source of discomfort with care and precision.

I’m a full member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) and integrate a range of evidence-informed techniques into my treatments, including:

Hot stone therapy for deeper muscle release

Infrared light therapy to support circulation and recovery

Myofascial dry cupping to ease fascial tension

Dry needling for trigger point deactivation

PNF stretching to improve mobility and joint function

Whether you’re dealing with neck and shoulder stiffness from office work, lower back tightness from sitting, or repetitive strain from a physically demanding job, each session is tailored to your body and goals.

I currently practice from a dedicated space in Gloucester, offering a calm, focused environment where your everyday tension is treated with clinical care and intuitive understanding.
