Why Hackney Needs More Healing Touch Right Now

Hackney is alive. Walk down any street—from Broadway Market to Victoria Park—and you’ll feel it: the creativity, the hustle, the contradictions. But beneath the energy, something else pulses quietly through our community, the constant grind.

The people of Hackney are doing a lot. We’re working long hours, caring for others, keeping up with fitness, and pushing through London life. And while we might be surviving, many of us aren’t thriving. Our bodies are holding more than we realise—stress, grief, exhaustion, emotional weight.

When I started No More Tension, I wanted to create more than just a massage service. I wanted to build a sanctuary in the middle of Hackney - a space to pause, feel and reconnect. Whether you live in E3, Hackney Wick, Bow, Stratford or just stumbled in from a frantic day, you deserve a space to feel calm.

And here’s the thing: when one person in a community heals, it ripples. The father who finally gets a good night’s sleep. The artist who feels inspired again after reconnecting with their body. The gym-goer who realises they don’t have to push so hard to be enough.

They all affect the people around them positively.

Ask yourself this, when was the last time you truly connected with your body?

You’re not a machine. You’re a human. Let’s treat you like one.
