Alexandra Vais

I am a highly qualified Massage and Bodywork Therapist with over 14 years of experience in movement science and bodywork. My expertise is built on a unique blend of academic background — holding a Master’s in Sport Physiology and a Bachelor’s in Physical Rehabilitation — and 7 years of elite-level stretching practice in a circus gymnastics environment.

Having worked as a physiotherapist, massage therapist and fitness coach, I specialise in functional bodywork and active flexibility training. I adapt my knowledge to identify the root causes of tension, focusing on structural balance rather than temporary relief. My personal journey through injury recovery and my background as a certified Reiki Master allow me to offer a holistic, yet highly technical and results-driven approach.

With 16 years of multi-sport experience I am focused on achieving real results, supporting people who are committed to progress and ready to take their practice seriously.

Functional Bodywork Therapy is for people who want to resolve chronic tension, improve posture and mobility, and build a body that works better in everyday life and training — not just feel temporary relief.

This 1:1 work focuses on how your body functions as a whole system: how you move, how load is distributed, where tension accumulates, and where weakness limits movement and performance.

The goal is long-term change in body function, not a one-off massage effect.

This therapy is suitable for:

• Physically active people and athletes

• Individuals experiencing chronic tension, stiffness, or postural issues

• People recovering from injuries or movement limitations

• Clients looking for a deep, personalised, hands-on approach, not a generic massage

• Anyone interested in understanding how their body moves and functions.

I also offer Splits training:

This 1:1 training is for those who are serious about flexibility and ready to put in the work.

Ideal for dancers, performers, athletes, and active individuals aiming for true splits and functional, usable flexibility — not just looking flexible.

If your goal is:

• front splits

• middle splits

• a flexible, controlled spine

• open, strong shoulders

I offer structured, intensive training focused on quality, control, and long-term results.
