Ms Gabriela Silva Borges is a massage therapist based in Leichhardt, NSW. You can find her practice at 56 Norton Street, Leichhardt NSW 2040. She offers hands-on massage that aims to help people feel more comfortable in their body, whether you’re carrying everyday stress or dealing with sore muscles from sport or work.
Massage can make a real difference when you’ve been sitting too long, lifting heavy things, or training hard. In many cases, tightness builds up around the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and legs. Relaxation massage can help you unwind, slow your breathing down, and feel less “stuck” in your muscles. It’s a good fit for people who want to reset and feel lighter afterwards.
For people who prefer a deeper approach, Ms Borges also provides deep tissue massage. This style focuses more on the thicker layers of muscle and the areas that feel knotted or tender. At times, you might feel some pressure during the session, but the aim is still to support your comfort and help the muscles move better after.
Sports massage is another part of her work. If you run, play team sports, or get sore from training, massage can support recovery and help ease that “heavy” feeling that comes with overuse. It can be useful leading into events, and also after a big week of training, when muscles feel worn out or stiff.
She also offers Swedish massage, which is well known for being relaxing and steady. It can help with general muscle tension, improve how muscles feel during the day, and give your body a chance to settle.
Because massage is practical and personal, the session is usually guided by what you’re feeling on the day. Some people mainly want calm and relief, while others want help with specific tight areas. Either way, the goal is to keep things grounded and straightforward, so you leave feeling better than when you arrived.
