Douglas Ross

Douglas' journey as a masseur began while travelling and living in Thailand from 2016 where he learnt Thai and Ayurvedic massage. He continued to train in Edinburgh where he completed a Diploma in Holistic Massage Therapy with the Massage Training Institute, which included Swedish and Deep Tissue massage. He has since gone on to specialise in Myofascial Release, and is now qualified in Advanced Sports and Remedial Massage with Advanced Massage Techniques School.

From the initial consultation Douglas will work with you toward your specific aims, whether stress management or the relief of pain. Swedish massage is excellent for relaxation and as a warm up for deep tissue work on chronically tight or sore muscles.

Douglas believes that massage is an essential element of self-care. In his own words, "relaxed and body centred presence is one of life's greatest gifts." His supportive, complementary practices are regular yoga, qi gong, and Non-violent Communication. In his spare time he enjoys nature while walking, cycling or surfing.

Reviews

Rebecca S: Having had back and neck issues for two decades from postural imbalances and a desk job, I tried a dozen massage and physio therapists before I found Douglas. He is - far and away - the best. I've been seeing him for a few years now and, because of his holistic approach, I feel really good. Douglas doesn't just treat the local pain, rather he is curious as to why it's hurting. He listens and gently explores to understand the biomechanical causes. I feel brilliant after each session, and he also gives me targeted exercises to maintain between sessions. He's constantly building his professional knowledge, and I feel the benefit. His skill and talent is really extraordinary! I see my monthly appointments as maintenance. I won't see anyone else and I can't recommend him highly enough. May 26, 2026

Liz Murdoch: I've had three treatments, two of them specifically targeted at past injuries. Douglas is a good listener and takes the assessment process slowly, and the massage and stretches have been therapeutic and relaxing. I'm continuing to see Douglas and recommend his treatments!

Katherine: Douglas was very professional and made me feel very comfortable with acarm and gentle approach. I have a 30 minute treatment which was a back massarge it felt really nice and had a deep healing quality that helped me relax and think about change I can make in my life. I would highly recommend Douglas for anyone in stress or pain. August 26, 2023

Martin Adam: Thoroughly recommend Douglas. He has helped maintain my body to a high level, helping with injuries and creating a relaxing, healing space. Every visit I experience a massage tailored to my needs and feel safe and relaxed during and after. August 8, 2022
