Feeling stuck with pain, stress, tension, fatigue or reduced mobility?

I offer personalised, gentle to deep tissue support across a range of services — Bowen Therapy, sports massage, health and wellbeing coaching, 1-2-1 exercise and movement sessions, and professional training in massage and Bowen Therapy. Whether you're recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, working on your wellbeing, or building practical therapy skills, I'm here to help.

Roland is extremely professional and knowledgeable about a range of different conditions. After just three treatments, my symptoms have improved and I am less reliant on pain relief. I’d definitely recommend Roland and the Bowen Technique.
Thank you!

About Roland

Roland Baskerville – Release & Repair Birmingham

I’m Roland Baskerville, founder of Release & Repair and a certified Bowen practitioner based in Birmingham.

For over 25 years I’ve supported people in improving movement, reducing pain and reconnecting with their wellbeing through gentle, practical approaches.

I work with people of all ages — from newborns to older adults — offering personalised support through Bowen Therapy, sports/remedial massage, movement coaching, wellbeing guidance and massage training.

My approach is calm, compassionate and tailored to the individual, helping you feel more balanced, capable and comfortable in your body.

 

Common Questions

  • In the first session I will begin by taking a medical history and find out more about what you need support with. I will look at your posture, flexibility, how you move, how your muscles are working and a short look at your lifestyle.

    We can then decide on which treatment will help you and deliver that in this session as well.

  • Bowen Therapy is generally not painful. The therapy involves gentle, precise moves over specific points of the body using fingers and thumbs, which stimulate nerve pathways and help reset muscles and fascia. It does not involve forceful manipulation or deep pressure. 

    While the Bowen session is not painful people can experience tenderness, soreness, fatigue in the following days after the treatment while the body adjusts. This will usually settle down after a few days.

  • This can vary depending on your goals. For Bowen therapy usually 2-5 session is enough for most issues. Coaching, training, massage and advice can continue as long as is required.

  • I offer Bowen Therapy in Kings Heath/Stirchley, Birmingham, with Mobile appointments available within 10 miles of Moseley.

  • Yes. These can include advice, movements, assessments, health and wellbeing coaching as well as sharing some self healing techniques.

  • Bowen Therapy is not a massage. It uses a unique set of techniques that focus on the body's nervous system and fascial tissue. It does not involve oils or require undressing. 

  • I do not diagnose, as I am not a medical professional. However, I can often provide insights into what may be causing the problem and signpost you to the appropriate person should a diagnosis be required.

  • For Bowen Therapy, treatments can be delivered through light clothing if preferred. For massage, treatment is conducted directly on the skin, with expert draping techniques used throughout to protect your modesty.

Roland is a professional therapist who treats his clients as individuals and understands each one’s problem. He spent time finding out what caused my back pain and general stiffness, and improved me within a couple of sessions. I will definitely come back to him to keep my posture healthy.
