About Us

Danielle Allan - Soft Tissue Massage Therapist & Owner

When self-management is combined with expertly applied evidenced-based biomedical treatments, outcomes can be dramatically improved and the patients is less dependent on the health care system. Our 'whole person' approach embracing patient-centred health care paradigms that foster responsibility, education, motivation, self-efficacy, social support, strong provider-patient relationships, and long-term change will encourage a passive, dependent patient to become an empowered, engaged, and educated patient.

Danielle provides Soft Tissue Therapy to individuals, sporting groups and professional teams.

Since graduating from the University of Westminster, London, Danielle has been contracted by The Premier League Football Club West Ham United and League One First Team Wycombe Wanderers to provide massage therapy support during home game fixtures. In 2016 she opened The ProActive Massage Clinic in Bloomsbury, (central) and also has a practice in Henley-on-Thames (West London). She also treats students at the Central School of Ballet aiding performance during training practice and tours.

Danielle's approach to treatment is to determine the origin of the muscle/postural imbalance creating the clients symptoms not just temporarily relieve those symptoms when they present themselves. Danielle is undoing the "no pain no gain" reputation of Deep Tissue Massage with her uniquely relaxing yet effective massage style - " as muscles respond best in a relaxed state and is key to re-establish a healthy muscle memory for optimal long-term recovery or injury/surgery prevention". She will work with you to determine the appropriate therapy and rehabilitation plan to keep you moving comfortably. It is her aim for the client to also confidently prevent and manage their own symptoms outside of the treatment room so homecare advice is provided as standard.

Danielle’s clientele includes professional sports players, Students, parents, grandparents, business professionals, semi-pro athletes, gym members, UCL & SOAS University athletics’ club members (cyclists, power lifters and runners, both track and cross country) and London Marathon participants of all running levels. In 2015 Danielle was enlisted by the Head Therapist of the Saracens Rugby team for the Rugby World Cup where she treated the Argentina team who then went on to do very well and most recently had the privilege of treating Scotland preparing them for their an historic Calcutta Cup victory in their Guinness Six Nations opener!
