Serena Basilone

Serena is a nationally recognised therapist specialising in remedial massage, dry needling and cupping. With a bubbly personality and energetic demeanour, she creates a calming, relaxing, and trustworthy atmosphere for her clients.

As a remedial therapist with over four years of experience and a massage expert with over nine years in the field, Serena's approach is centred on improving muscle mobility, reducing post-workout muscle tension, releasing trigger points, incorporating targeted stretching techniques, and promoting relaxation and stress relief.

Serena has a particular clinical interest in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction and craniofacial pain, with a focus on the assessment and treatment of the associated muscular and soft-tissue structures. Her clinical approach incorporates specific assessment of jaw alignment, mandibular movement, and dental occlusion, alongside consideration of the cervical, facial, and masticatory muscles, to develop treatments tailored to each client's presentation.

Serena's fascination with how the body works has led her to continually expand her knowledge of its anatomical structure. She enjoys developing a detailed mental map of the muscular system when assessing and treating clients, allowing her to approach each treatment with precision and purpose. Her passion for general wellbeing and health drives her to provide detailed, individualised treatments that prioritise each client's specific needs and goals.

Empathetic by nature, Serena aims to help people feel better not only physically, but also emotionally and mentally. Over the years, she has developed expertise in hot stone massage, pregnancy massage, and manual lymphatic drainage massage, complementing her remedial treatment approach.

Serena has always maintained an active lifestyle, having participated in swimming, running, basketball, ballet, and gym-based training. She has developed a passion for aerial lyra, which she has incorporated into her regular training routine alongside strength and conditioning. She believes in the positive effects of an active lifestyle on both physical and mental wellbeing and enjoys encouraging her clients to find forms of movement that they genuinely enjoy.
