About Corey Lofthouse
I'm a licensed massage therapist and a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT). I graduated from Irene's Institute of Myomassology in Michigan in 2021, one of the most respected massage schools in the US, where I trained in Swedish, deep tissue, lymphatic drainage and range-of-motion techniques. You can read more about that journey on my blog.
​
Today, Manual Lymphatic Drainage is at the heart of my practice. I'm clinically trained in post-surgery drainage, after both cosmetic and trauma surgery, and in lymphatic care for oncology clients. I believe lymphatic drainage is still one of the most underused treatments out there, and I love seeing the difference it makes.
​
I'm also passionate about orthopaedic massage, which focuses on the muscles and tissues around the joints and supports injury rehabilitation.

Why oncology care matters to me
In 2023 I was diagnosed with HER2+ breast cancer, and I put my practice on hold while I went through treatment, surgery and recovery. It gave me a deep, personal understanding of how much the body can change, and how important gentle, informed touch is during and after treatment. I now offer oncology massage so others in Harrogate can get that care. Read my story.
My Approach
I firmly believe that massage isn't a luxury but a necessity. Regular therapeutic massage helps release the stress that builds up in our minds and bodies and shows up as muscular pain.
I work closely with every client to understand what's going on, listening to what you tell me and looking at what might be behind it, so I can build a treatment plan that's genuinely yours.
​
I'm based in Killinghall, Harrogate, and see clients from across Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon and North Yorkshire.
