Massage Services in Nelson
Back Pain Relief
Whether it’s caused by posture, muscle strain, or chronic issues, back pain can really impact your quality of life. I use targeted massage to help release tension, improve mobility, and support a more pain-free back.
Neck & Shoulder Issues
Including frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries, and cervical spondylosis. Massage can help restore movement, ease nerve compression, and relieve daily tension.
Lower Back & Hip Pain
From SI joint dysfunction to sciatica and general hip tightness, I work into the deeper structures that affect your comfort and mobility.
Mobility & Movement Support
Stiff, tired muscles and poor flexibility? I help loosen fascia, reduce tightness, and bring more ease of movement to your daily life.
Relaxation & Stress Relief
Massage is also about helping your nervous system reset. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, I offer treatments that support both body and mind.
How many sessions will I need?
Everyone’s body is different, and so is their recovery. For some, a single session brings noticeable relief. Others might need a few treatments to create lasting change—especially for deeper or chronic issues.
Here’s a general guide:
One session – for light tension or a reset
2–3 sessions – for recent or recurring pain
3–5 sessions – for chronic conditions or long-term support
Ongoing maintenance – monthly or as needed to stay on top of things
I’ll always talk things through with you so we can figure out the best plan based on how your body responds.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
EXCELLENT Based on 61 reviews Ann Martin2025-10-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely outstanding service and results! Tim Young is hands-down one of the best therapeutic massage therapist I have come across. He truly specializes in deep tissue work and pain relief and it shows. Unlike generic massages, Tim takes the time to listen to your specific issues and crafts a treatment that is incredibly effective. He works slowly and thoroughly, finding the exact spots causing chronic tension without rushing the process. The pressure was firm but perfectly adjusted to my comfort level, and I felt immediate release in my neck and lower back that had been tight for months. I left the session feeling not only relaxed but also significantly more mobile. His professionalism, calming demeanor, and practical self-care advice were the icing on the cake. If you are dealing with chronic pain or need serious muscle relief, book an appointment with Tim—you won't regret it! Highly, highly recommended. Courtney Kenny2025-10-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My neck, lower back and hips were so tense and agitated when I went to see Tim. Now the pain has gone, I am sooo relieved. Pressure was perfect! Tim knows exactly what he's doing and is a genuinely nice person. Highly recommend!!! Bob Hughes2025-09-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been treated by Tim for a neck 'injury' three times over about a year. I still have the 'injury' but it is somewhat reduced, however I do not think it is a typical 'injury' and is likely to be an 'emotional' issue and so I am now pursuing a NET/chiropractic approach. This failure to cure my neck is no reflection on Tim who worked persistently and diligently on each visit. I do recommend you give him a try. His understanding of my problem and attempt to resolve it with massage and verbal suggestions was greatly appreciated as was the ambience of his treatment room which was worth the price just to be in there and relax for an hour. Thank you Tim. Werner Naef2025-06-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “Blessed” with osteoarthritis and limited neck mobility, I’ve tried many approaches—but Tim has been the only specialist to bring real relief. Each session works magic: the pain eases, and my neck feels noticeably more flexible every time. I honestly couldn’t recommend him more highly. Thank you, Tim! Anja Schilling2025-05-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just had the best message with Tim. He really worked it's magic and I feel so relaxed right now. If you have some aches and pains definitely go and see Tim. He is the best! Ela B2025-04-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best massage therapist I have found in the Nelson Tasman area. I HIGHLY recommend Tim! He helped me with my problem. I always leave the massage feeling relaxed and like a new person. Both body and mind relax. Tim knows what he is doing and approaches each person individually and according to their needs. Sue Neal2025-03-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tim is a perceptive and gifted masseuse with a depth of knowledge and understanding that I have not found in other practitioners. He is thoroughly professional but also very personable. Most of all he made a huge difference to my back pain! I HIGHLY recommend Tim! Megan Richards2025-03-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was in so much pain and nothing was helping, I had nearly given up then an Facebook add popped up and Tim had spaces, wow is all I can say I will definitely be returning if I’m struggling to get my back and hip pain under some kind of norma, l absolutely recommend Tim worked for me . Mark Holmes2025-03-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful healing neck massage. A great experience. Highly Recommended!!
