Who We Are
Bodywork built for real life
Bodied exists particularly for those who’ve been underserved, overlooked or excluded by the health space and traditional wellness - the ones told to stretch more, stress less, or find their centre.
Founded in 2021, Bodied was born from a simple truth: most health systems are reactive, privileged, and performative. We wanted something else: a place where resilience meets culture, and longevity isn’t about biohacks or balance, but use.
We sit at the intersection of massage therapy, preventative care, and body literacy - clinical enough to treat patterns, cultural enough to make sense. Think of us as infrastructure: something your body depends on, not escapes to.
Our work is rooted in care before crisis. It’s about tuning function early and often, so you don’t wait for breakdown to begin repair. And it’s also about healthy ageing that starts now - whatever your age, identity, or access point.
We’re grounded in East London, so naturally our ethos embraces positive anarchy. Everyone is welcome, however for some, this is home. Either way, they’re met with rigour, not routine. This is a space for people who work hard, think deep, and live fully - where massage isn’t pampering, it’s performance. No healing theatre. No fantasy. Just bodywork built for real life.
Our massage therapy treatments cover deep tissue, sports recovery, pregnancy care, and ambient relaxation massage - each one adapted to your body’s structure, history, and habits.
Every therapist here is serious about bodywork and about you. We tune fascia, muscle, and nervous system patterns, not because it’s trendy, but because it works. Whether you sit for nine hours, lift heavy, or carry life, we meet your body where it’s at and help it go further.
You don’t need fixing. You need a framework.
What is massage and bodywork at Bodied?
At Bodied, massage is hands-on manual therapy that helps the body do what it’s built for: moving, recovering, lasting. We use manual techniques to work with muscle, fascia and nervous system. That means we target restriction, tension or patterns that get in your way
It isn’t just about relaxation. It’s about function. When done well, it can improve circulation, support joint health, reduce pain and help the body reset from daily demand. Physical or mental, short term or long term, it all lands in the body. That’s where we begin.
Techniques like deep tissue, sports and pregnancy massage are designed to interrupt the build-up. They help the body respond to pressure, not just absorb it, working with acute and chronic pain, muscular imbalances and what are often called knots.
From our East London studio, we offer a curated range of massage therapy. Our team brings experience, nuance and clinical edge to every session.

How can massage help you?
We’re not here to fix you…because most of the time, you’re not broken.
Massage is one part of the puzzle. It can help improve circulation, ease restriction, reduce pain and support your nervous system’s ability to downshift. But what your body needs might change from week to week. That’s normal.
We work with the version of you that shows up. Whether you’re in pain, in training, pregnant, postnatal or just trying to feel more at home in your body, we help make space for that.
People come to us when they’re experiencing:
Joint discomfort, including knees, hips and shoulders
Muscle tension, fatigue or overuse
Postural tightness and compression
Tendinopathy or limited mobility
Pregnancy-related shifts or discomfort
Sprains, strains and soft tissue restriction
Burnout, anxiety or nervous system overload
Disrupted sleep or physical restlessness
You don’t need a diagnosis or a goal. Just somewhere to begin.
What we stand for at Bodied
Bodied isn’t about creating some unrecognisable, unintelligible version of you. It’s about offering space for recovery, for exploration, and for staying in your body when the world makes that hard.
We built this studio to be functional and unapologetically inclusive. Whether you’re here to lift, rest, or reset, we work with what’s real, not what’s ideal.
Care over crisis
You don’t need to be fixed or high-functioning to check in. Bodywork is one way in.
Built to last
We’re here for longevity: people and planet.
Cultural intelligence
From rave recovery to intergenerational tension, your life shapes your body. We meet you there.
All in
All bodies. All identities. No prerequisites. No disclaimers
