Sometimes your body just needs someone to really listen to it.

Massage Therapy Tailored Around You

We offer individually tailored massage and soft tissue therapy at both our clinics (Wickwar and Yate), the kind that starts with a conversation, not a menu. Back on Track is located at our Wickwar clinic and Physio Avenue at our Yate clinic. Whether you are carrying a persistent niggle, managing the physical toll of stress, navigating a health condition, or simply need an hour that’s entirely yours, we’re here to help you feel more like yourself again.

You don’t need to be in pain to benefit. Many of the people we support are worn out, overstretched, or simply not moving as comfortably or freely as they’d like. Massage therapy is a powerful tool for supporting sleep, easing anxiety, reducing muscle tension, and restoring a sense of ease in your body, so that you can get back to doing the things that matter to you.

As part of the Physio Avenue family, Back on Track brings warm, skilled, person-centred care in a calm and welcoming treatment space where you can slow down, be heard, and be looked after. At Physio Avenue, Yate, you can also access physiotherapy services.

Booking Your Appointment – Why We Do Things Differently

If you’ve looked at other massage websites, you’ve probably seen a long menu of treatments – Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, Hot Stones, full body, back neck and shoulders, and so on. You pick one, book a slot, and hope for the best.

We don’t work that way. There’s a good reason for that, the science of touch has moved on.

Research now tells us that all hands-on therapy works through the same fundamental pathway, not just “on” muscles and tissue, but with you as a whole person. What makes a difference isn’t the name of the technique, it’s the quality of the interaction, the skill of the therapist, and how well the treatment is tailored to you in that moment.

So rather than asking you to choose a type of massage, we ask something more useful: What do you need today?

Here’s How it Works

You book time, between 30 and 120 minutes. If there’s something specific that you really want like hot stones or mat based work that may require setting up in advance, just let us know in the notes.

Within that time, we use our skills and knowledge to build an appointment around you – your expectations, preferences, and how you’re hoping to leave feeling. We’ll draw on a wide range of techniques and approaches, but we won’t be following a fixed script. Every appointment is individual, because every person is.

Before we begin, we’ll take a little time to understand:

  • What’s brought you in today
  • What you’re hoping to get from the session
  • Any longer-term goals you’re working towards
  • What you enjoy — and what you don’t

One session might be focused, targeted work on a persistent area of tension. The next might be slower, broader, more restorative, because that’s what your body and your life are calling for that week. Over time, your appointments evolve with you.

This is person-centred care. It’s grounded in evidence, guided by your needs, and delivered by therapists who are genuinely invested in your wellbeing and not just your next booking.

Ready to find out what that feels like? Book a time that works for you.

Whether you’re recovering from injury or managing a musculoskeletal condition, we’ll work with you to build strength, improve mobility, and support your long-term wellbeing.

Move freely, manage pain and regain confidence with Physio Avenue.

I booked a 75 min session with Imi after finally listening to my body, and I’m so glad I found her. Not only is she genuinely lovely, she’s knowledgeable, professional and welcoming.
Imi’s space is warm and welcoming, the treatment couch a dream, and parking isn’t an issue.
I’ve struggled to find a massage therapist in recent years, or at least, one that has really listened to what I need rather than giving a generic massage, and where I have wanted to go back - next ones in the diary so I guess I’ve found her!

Through her expertise and relaxed, confident manner Imi quickly put me at my ease. She was able to help me with my current issue and demonstrated gentle techniques to keep my back on track in the future. Imi came highly recommended to me and I can do the same.

As soon as you step into Imi's treatment room you start to relax. It's warm, cosy and smells wonderful. Imi is so kind and welcoming and makes you feel totally calm. She has a brilliant range of massage therapies which leave you feeling amazing. Can't recommend her highly enough.

I have just had the Winter Warmer 90 minute experience and virtually floated out of the session! Imi is so skilful and great at putting you at ease. When you park outside, you may wonder where you have arrived amongst the Trashman’s Treasure reclaimed goods yard! But don’t be fooled - tucked in the corner is Back on Track and it is a little oasis of calm, relaxation and positivity. Always look forward to my sessions with Imi and would recommend

I visited Imi for the first time a week ago after she was highly recommended by a friend, and I’m so glad I went. From the start, she made me feel comfortable and at ease. She seemed to instinctively know exactly what my body needed, focusing on the right areas without me having to explain much.

After the session, I felt noticeably calmer, deeply relaxed, and—most importantly—free from the pain I’d been carrying. It was such a positive experience, and I can definitely see why she comes so highly recommended. I’ll absolutely be returning.

Warm place in both temperature and welcome. Imi listens and helps. Today I had a fantastic, relaxing facial plus some help with my dodgy shoulder. Imi is well-recommended .
