I am able to provide world-class Soft Tissue Therapy and a full range of additional services from my treatment room. You don't need to be the next Ben Stokes, Mo Farah or Jessica Ennis-Hill to feel the benefit of a sports massage. No matter what lifestyle you lead everyone of any age or ability can feel the benefits.

Whether you are regularly active, or spend a lot of time in an office, a sports massage can help relieve those aches and pains! If you are a budding athlete then when it comes to injury you will probably agree that prevention is far superior to cure. A regular massage can help prevent any minor issues developing into bigger injuries leading to time out from doing what you love.
Services
I have been a level 5 Sports and Remedial Massage Therapist since 2015 and before that I was a level 3 from 2013. It is something I am very passionate about as it allows me to help people either get back to doing the things they love or being able to continue to do them. As a SRMT I believe that the key to your return to having a healthy, pain free lifestyle is movement.
All people are different, I assess the needs of every client on an individual basis. This enables me build a comprehensive picture of your needs and requirements whilst establishing a thorough medical and injury history. My approach to your personal treatment will vary depending on the reason(s) you are seeking my assisstance.
Scar work is a relatively new field in terms of manual therapies. As a ScarWork therapist I work with all forms of scarring be it from surgery, accidents or burns.

Unlike sports massage ScarWork is very superficial, using a very light touch to manipulate the scar, surrounding tissues and more importantly the layers of skin, fascia and muscle beneath the surface to improve mobility, improve sensation, pain and irritation are just some of the symptoms which dense scar tissue can produce.

I started seeing John following an accident and subsequent surgery. He understood my problems quickly and played a fundamental part in my recovery. He really made me feel at ease from the moment I arrived for my first treatment - I can't recommend him highly enough!

As soon as you meet John he is warm and welcoming. His knowledge is brilliant and he makes you feel comfortable and relaxed the whole time you are there. He has helped me with an on going issue and created a plan to help with me to deal with it including exercises to do at home. He is always happy to give advice and help even when I don't have time to visit.

I first saw John because of annoying back pain and he very quickly identified my issues and sorted them out. John is a very friendly and welcoming person and makes you feel at ease with every appointment, explaining what he finds and suggesting exercises to help you to continue training. It is without hesitation that I recommend John for all your sports injury/massage problems.

John is fantastic!! He really knows his stuff, listens to any issues you have and tailors treatment accordingly. He makes you feel at ease from the moment you walk into the room. I have used John for many treatments and will continue to do so. I really cannot recommend him enough.

After a long search for a suitable sports therapist I found John and have been very satisfied with my sessions with him. He is very good at dealing with cramped, fatigued muscle pain, my sessions with him have proved invaluable. Thank you John.

I saw John about a nagging upper back pain and by doing an assessment he quickly identified what the issue was. After the first treatment I was already feeling like a new person! He is very knowledgeable in what he does and he explains exactly the different techniques he's using and their benefits. I highly recommend being treated by John if you want to feel better!
