“When you leave The Massage Lab, I want you to feel better, move better, and know how to look after yourself between visits.” (Biliana)
About Biliana
The Massage Lab began in 2008, when I left a City of London career in insurance to retrain as a clinical massage therapist and later as an osteopath. What started as a one-woman practice has grown into a trusted Islington clinic with a 5-star reputation for skilled, client-focused care.
I have built a small team of talented therapists who share my belief that the best kind of therapy empowers people to maintain their wellbeing without creating dependency. “We may see you less often as a result, but we’re happy with that”.
Together, we help clients of all ages – from athletes and performers to executives, new parents, and older adults – to live pain-free, move better, and enjoy life with confidence.

Lukasz is an excellent and extremely knowledgeable sports therapist who also has a backgrounds in physiotherapy. It was the perfect combination for my issue. He performed a thorough deep tissue massage and advised me of what to do if there were further complications within a few days. I strongly recommend Lukasz because he's grounded and has no pretentiousness about him, which is very refreshing to find in London.Posted on Google![]()

I have been seeing Biliana now for a number of years for a massage, in particular this time around was having some back issues for her to deal with. The massage was painful in parts but I knew that this would only be beneficial at the end, really felt the issue was addressed & also some exercises were recommended.Always feel the massage is good for my skin also having had eczema from an early age. Thank you Biliana.Posted on Google![]()
