Your session
What to expect
- 01
Assess
We start by talking through what's going on and assessing the problem area, so treatment fits you.
- 02
Slow down
Low lighting, slow relaxing music and an infrared heat lamp throughout. John teaches you to breathe so your nervous system can settle.
- 03
Treat
Slow, deliberate work with time under tension, rather than rushing, plus traditional Chinese glass fire cups where they help.
- 04
Leave with something
You'll walk out looser and calmer, with an understanding of what's going on and what to do next.
His story
From the sales floor to the treatment room
John McCahey spent years in office sales, including time working in Melbourne. The long hours at a desk caught up with him and he got sick, which made him rethink how he looked after his body and mind.
That led him to holistic health: breathwork and cold water therapy, inspired in part by reading Wim Hof's work. Along the way he realised he wanted to spend his days helping people rather than selling to them.
Today he's a sports massage therapist and a certified Oxygen Advantage® breathing instructor, and he built Elite Recovery Belfast around the things that changed his own health.
His aim is simple: you should walk out feeling like you really got something from the session.
- Sports massage therapist
- Certified Oxygen Advantage® breathing instructor
- Passionate about breathwork & cold water therapy

How do I book?

Which massage should I choose?

Is the Recovery Spa private?
Yes. Completely private. The only people in the suite will be your group. Nobody else. Belfast's private recovery spa.
What should I bring to the Recovery Spa?
Bring a towel to dry off, a towel to sit on in the sauna, and a bottle of water to stay hydrated. We also provide water.
Do I need to be an athlete?
Not at all. Desk workers, tradespeople, busy parents and weekend warriors book just as often as athletes. If your body's tight, sore or stressed, you're in the right place.
Do you sell gift vouchers?
Yes. Gift cards are available on Booksy and make the perfect present for anyone who trains hard, works hard or just needs a reset. Buy one online in a minute and it's ready to send. Paper vouchers are also available in store.
What is the breathing session?
This could be the most important session you ever book. Most people have no idea how much their breathing is holding them back. With a Certified Oxygen Advantage® Instructor, you'll get an in-depth assessment of how you breathe and how it may be affecting your sleep, stress, energy, focus and performance. Then you'll learn powerful techniques tailored to you, ones that can transform how you feel every single day. Calmer mind. Deeper sleep. More energy. Better performance. A skill you'll keep for life.
