Bruce Robertson Massage & Yoga

I am back from an incredible ten days in Namibia. Ten days of no cellphone signal meant missing my little family, but also meant getting genuine perspective on what's important. Relationships and community are number one. Health and the ability to DO is close number two. I celebrate what life has to offer and embrace the challenges that it brings. Politics was the least important thing out there in the desert. I know that's privilege, what's happening ten thousand miles away is not in your sphere of control. Happy day everyone.

I'm just letting everyone know that it's that time of the year and I will be putting my price up at the end of March. New pricing:
30 minutes = R350 (stays the same)
60 minutes = R600
90 minutes = R800
Let me know if you would like to book an appointment in the next couple of weeks.
Have a great day!

Yoga classes this month every Monday at 5pm and Wednesday at 8:15am. Full moon yin classes on 2 and 4 February. Please note that I will be away this Wednesday, so there is no 8:15am class this coming Wednesday.

I don't know about Gen Z / Gen Alpha being soft. I had a 13 year old come in for a massage today and ask me if I could push harder. And I don't give a soft massage.

Durban, what's going on? Three pregnancy massages in one day...

BTW I love massaging a heavily pregnant woman. No one is more deserving and grateful. They can't lie face down, so they lie on their side and I massage one side and then turn them over. It's so relieving for their hips and lower back.

Thank you for your incredible support this year. I am so honoured that so many people trust me with their muscles and their pain, and allow me to hold space for them over so many years (24 years in January). But now I need a few weeks' break. I will be back on 5 January. In the meantime please consciously slow down, drop your shoulders, relax your jaw and breathe from your belly. Have a great break.

This is your reminder to stay centered in the end of year madness. Remember who you are without the busy-ness of what's happening around you.

Hi there. I’m just letting everyone know that I am running a year end massage special. Book and come for an hour massage at R550 until the end of the year and then get R150 off your next massage in January. One per person, by appointment only please.

I am closing for a break from 19 December.

Vouchers are also available as gifts.

Something is different in the air and it feels like the season has changed. I'm feeling it in my muscles and I want to move and get outside. I'm not a great tanner, but I feel like I need the sun on my skin, and we certainly live in the right province for that!

In the first of a series, I’d like to answer a question I often get asked. Will a massage fix a problem that took years to develop?

I sometimes joke and say, “Yes it will. As long as you quit your job, move to the country and don’t do anything strenuous ever again”. Very, very often a single massage can make an enormous difference to a person’s experience of their body and it makes me very happy to facilitate that. But unless you make some changes in your life, one massage is unlikely going to be enough, and the benefits accumulate over a few sessions. Deep Tissue Massage is a tool to be used in conjunction with stress management, exercise, sleep and diet to improve your overall health.

So what can it do for chronic conditions? It can:

-Get down into the deeper tissue to relieve “knots” (something I will cover next time)
-Release triggerpoints that cause pain in other parts of your body
-Soften muscle tension - it’s really effective at getting rid of headaches
-Improve your overall sense of wellness
-Break down scar tissue

I love what I do and would love to know what you would like me to address. DM or WhatsApp me and I will try to answer your questions.
