A hands-on healing technique that supports recovery and relaxation
Shirin is trained in a range of therapeutic massage techniques, including:

Aimed at relieving chronic muscle tension, this technique focuses on deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to release tightness, improve joint mobility, and reduce pain caused by posture, injury, or stress.

This method targets specific tight areas within the muscle tissue, known as trigger points, which can refer pain to other parts of the body. It is especially effective for persistent tension and localized discomfort.

A precise form of massage therapy that helps restore normal muscle function by releasing muscle spasms, reducing pressure on nerves, and improving circulation to problem areas.

A gentle and active technique that involves the patient contracting specific muscles against resistance, followed by a stretch. It helps improve flexibility, reduce stiffness, and restore normal range of motion.

Designed to promote full-body relaxation and mental calmness, this massage eases stress, regulates the nervous system, and enhances sleep quality while relieving general aches and tension.

A gentle, sustained pressure technique that targets the fascia (connective tissue surrounding muscles). It helps to release restrictions, reduce pain, and improve overall physical function, particularly for those with chronic issues or past injuries.

More than just relaxation — real health benefits you’ll feel
Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply trying to manage everyday stress, massage therapy can help reduce tension, improve mobility, and boost your overall quality of life. By targeting both muscles and the nervous system, it supports faster healing, enhances circulation, and helps you feel more balanced, refreshed, and in control of your health.

Releases tight muscles, eases knots, and helps restore comfortable movement.

Enhances blood flow and supports the body’s natural detox process.

Improves joint range of motion and helps prevent injuries from stiffness.

Encourages healing in soft tissues and reduces post-injury inflammation.

Reduces cortisol levels, increases serotonin, and promotes deep relaxation.

Calms the nervous system and helps you fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply.

Mark achieves more in one dry needling session than other physios have managed in five. After my trust was broken by a previous physiotherapist, I was so relieved to find Mark.

Mark Boundy

After completing a Biology BSc, my journey in physiotherapy began in 2004 at King’s College, London. I spent eight years in the NHS, where I saw how long waiting lists and short appointments hindered effective rehabilitation. This led me to pursue an MSc in Manual Therapy in 2015, becoming a member of the MACP.
I moved into private practice at Oxford Sports Physio & Pilates, where I helped rehabilitate high-level athletes, including GB rowers and Oxford University sports teams. Today, I’m an expert generalist with a passion for treating a variety of musculoskeletal issues.
While I don’t specialize in one area, I have a keen interest in using MRI machine for diagnostics and injection therapy, which allows me to offer precise, effective treatments. Combined with medication prescription, I provide a comprehensive range of musculoskeletal care.
