I've been suffering with upper back and shoulder pain for months from desk work. After two deep tissue sessions at Heatherlea I can genuinely feel the difference. The therapist was incredibly knowledgeable — I've already recommended this clinic to three colleagues.

What We Offer
Our Massage Treatments
Every treatment is tailored to your needs, your body, and your goals. Not sure which is right for you? Our therapists will advise during your consultation.
Indian Head Massage
A focused upper-body treatment working on the scalp, neck, face, and shoulders. Deeply relaxing and particularly effective for tension headaches, eye strain, and stress-related tightness. No oil required — ideal as a standalone or combined treatment.
Back, Neck & Shoulder
Our most requested standalone treatment — targeting the areas most commonly affected by desk work, driving, and everyday stress. Meaningful relief without requiring a full undress. Quick, effective, and easy to fit into a busy day.
Back, Neck, Shoulder & Indian Head
The ultimate upper-body reset — combining our back, neck and shoulder massage with an Indian head treatment for comprehensive tension relief from the waist up. Ideal for clients who carry stress in the upper body and want a thorough, extended session.
Full Body Massage
A complete head-to-toe treatment using flowing, restorative techniques to promote deep relaxation, improve circulation, and ease tension throughout the whole body. The ideal treatment for general wellbeing, stress management, or a thoroughly well-deserved reward.
Lymphatic Drainage
A gentle specialist technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to reduce fluid retention, ease puffiness, and support the body's natural detoxification process. Particularly beneficial post-surgery, for persistent bloating, or for clients experiencing swelling in the legs or face.
Deep Tissue Massage
Targets chronic muscle tension, knots, and adhesions in the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Particularly effective for persistent upper back, neck, and lower back pain, and for clients experiencing postural imbalances or sports-related tension.

Client Reviews
What Our Clients Say
I treat myself to a full body massage every couple of months and it's genuinely the best thing I do for my wellbeing. Worth every penny and worth the short drive from Christchurch. The therapist is wonderful — professional, warm, and really listens to what you need.
Had the Indian head massage after a particularly stressful few weeks. I hadn't realised how much tension I was carrying until it was gone. Left feeling completely clear-headed. Already booked the combined back, neck and Indian head treatment for next month.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your massage appointment at Heatherlea Clinic, New Milton.
What types of massage do you offer near Bournemouth?
At Heatherlea Clinic we offer Indian Head Massage (£22), Back, Neck & Shoulder Massage (£30), a combined Back, Neck, Shoulder & Indian Head treatment (£45), Full Body Massage (£50), Lymphatic Drainage (£65), and Deep Tissue Massage (£65). All treatments are carried out by qualified, insured therapists at our New Milton clinic — approximately 20 minutes from Bournemouth.
What is lymphatic drainage massage and who is it for?
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, specialist technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to reduce fluid retention, ease puffiness, and support the body's natural detoxification process. It is particularly beneficial for clients experiencing persistent bloating, swelling in the legs or face, or those recovering from cosmetic procedures such as liposuction or surgery.
Is a deep tissue massage painful?
Deep tissue massage works on deeper muscle layers and can feel intense — particularly in areas of chronic tension — but should never be genuinely painful. Our therapists check in throughout and adjust pressure accordingly. Any mild post-treatment soreness the following day is temporary and perfectly normal.
How far is Heatherlea Clinic from Bournemouth?
We are located in New Milton, BH25 6PZ — approximately 12 miles from Bournemouth town centre. The journey typically takes around 20 minutes via the A35. Free parking is available near the clinic, making us a convenient and quieter alternative to busy Bournemouth town centre salons.
How often should I have a massage?
For general stress management and wellbeing, a monthly massage works well for most people. For chronic pain, ongoing tension, or recovery purposes, fortnightly appointments tend to produce faster and more lasting results. Your therapist will recommend a frequency based on your specific goals and the issues you present with.
What should I do before and after my massage?
Before your appointment: arrive well hydrated and avoid eating a large meal within two hours. After your massage: drink plenty of water throughout the day, rest where possible, and avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours to allow your muscles to fully recover and respond to the treatment.
