“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.

I’ve been seeing Biliana for many years now. She’s absolutely incredible at what she does. I’m always recommending her to my friends and clients. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. 10/10!!Posted on Google Bill HeathTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a post hill-walking-trip massage from Lukasz. Excellent. Sorted out my rock hard calves and quadsPosted on Google Michelle ArtissTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ive been using Massage Lab for sometime now. I have had sports massage therapy from most of the therapists now as I have shift work and my times change. I have found all the therapists to have their own individual style but everyone has always been so professional, skilled and effective, especially working on problem areas, easing tension for sleep and keeping general muscle health and maintenance. My latest massage was with new addition Fruzsi and it was an excellent massage. Usually I know if I have had a good massage if I float out and she got rid of my excessive tiredness and muscle aches delivering on more than I asked for with great competence and attention to detail. I definitely recommend and have every confidence in all the therapists and they are all really lovely.Posted on Google Caitlin RoseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
