About SilverFox
I’m James Fox, the therapist behind SilverFox Massage and Bodywork. After a long corporate career I learned the importance of self-care, and the benefits of massage and mindfulness in sustaining a healthy, happy life.
All of us carry stress in our bodies, whether from the emotional strains of life, from exercise or from injury. Through receiving massage myself I recognized the value of bodywork and started my journey to becoming a full-time therapist.
Our Approach
We offer Holistic and Deep Tissue Massage, often together in the single session. While Sports Massage has become popular in recent years, and has it’s place in repairing injury, what we often need more is for us to stop holding the tension and to relax. Deep work is difficult if we’re tense, because the muscles won’t let you in.
‘Holistic’ just means considering your whole self. Our initial consultation seeks to identify where you hold stress, tension or injury; where we will focus our time together; and what kind of work and pressure you like. All the way through the massage we will check in with you as what is deep for some isn’t deep enough for others. It’s completely personal.
We’ve curated unique spaces that add to the experience, and will be offering sound experiences, couples massage with fellow practitioners; and we welcome all genders, faiths, and people to our practise as a safe space to heal.
All SilverFox therapists hold a Level 4 Diploma from the Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork, a comprehensive 1-year course, are members of the Massage Training Institute and are fully insured for public liability and mal-practise with Balens Insurance.
You can book by therapist or by location, as you prefer.
In Bristol we practise in the wonderful Yurt, at Westbury-on-Trym Wildlife Park. In Bath, in my own home, I have a cosy room with wood-burning stove, particularly special in Winter. If you aren’t able to travel we can also come to you, schedule permitting, with no extra charge for disabled or injured clients.
