About Irina
Irina Kushnir has been practising massage therapy since 2001 — more than twenty years of clinical experience. She is a member of RMQ and works mainly in personalised therapeutic massage.
Her goal is straightforward: to help clients reconnect with their bodies and reactivate natural healing processes. In practice, she targets pain and inflammation relief by working along muscular chains rather than on a single painful point.
Irina is especially sought out by people living with long-standing pain: chronic low back pain, persistent neck and shoulder tension, stiffness from prolonged work postures, or residual discomfort after an injury.
She draws on meditation and yoga, which shapes her pacing: slow transitions, guided breathing and constant attention to nervous-system release. Clients often describe her sessions as deep but never aggressive.
Known for her compassionate manner, she takes the time to understand the full history before starting and adjusts pressure throughout the session.

“Was really relaxing walked in greeted pleasantly and Irina was amazing, will definitely go back and seems to have helped my pain . Thank you Irina”
“I had a massage with Irina, and I absolutely loved it. Truly relaxing and professional. Highly recommend her!”
“I've experienced several different services at this clinic. I had an osteopathy session with Shahram, several physiotherapy sessions with Colin which I was really happy with, and for the first time I also had a massage with Irina. I was genuinely satisfied with all three experiences, each of them was professional and took great care and attention with me. Overall, I have to say the whole team at this clinic is very professional, organized, and caring, and the clinic's atmosphere is clean and calming. From the moment I walked in until the end of each session, everything felt orderly and respectful. I'm really happy I chose this clinic and would confidently recommend it to anyone looking for quality therapeutic and wellness care.”
“I've visited this clinic twice. Once for a massage with Irina Kushnir, and once for a deep facial with Liliana Ciocoi. Both times I was extremely happy, both with the quality of the services and with how professional and warm they were. These great experiences made me tell several of my friends to come and try it out for themselves, because it's really worth it. I'd happily recommend this clinic.”
