I offer an extensive range of massage therapies in the comfort of your own home or workplace. I strive to create a warm, friendly and relaxing atmosphere where you can unwind and free yourself from everyday stresses and worries. Massage therapy involves the rubbing and kneading of soft tissues and muscles in the body to promote healing and enhance a person's health and well-being.
It is thought the term 'massage' originates from the Greek word, 'Massein' meaning 'to knead'. It is also linked to the Arabic word, 'mash' which means to 'press softly'. Both aptly describe the treatment. There are more than 250 variations of massage and bodywork therapies used today. Despite the differences between each modality, all of them involve touch and manipulation techniques to move muscles and body tissue.

My interest in bodywork therapies developed in response to effective treatment of my own muscular injuries, suffered whilst playing rugby. This was enhanced by the study of anatomy and physiology during my previous work as a fitness instructor. My philosophy and approach is rooted in ancient eastern principles of holistic healing, which focus on restoring balance and harmony to the body's systems.

I first met John when I was freshly diagnosed with MS 8 years ago, at the time I was incredibly phobic of my neck being worked on due in part to my diagnosis and from negative previous osteopathic experiences.
My neck was a mess from an old judo injury and sleeping was very difficult but I was too scared to get it treated by anyone. I explained this to John and for my first session he spent an hour literally ‘holding’ my head, incredibly Non-invasive and I could feel my neck letting go for the first time in years! after the session my neck felt the best it had since I was a teen. I am no longer

Very glad to have John treat us !
All 3 of us are manual workers and since being under his care ,carrying out day to day workloads have quickly become easier and practically pain free
The improvement is massive!
Mega impressed with his professionalism and attention to detail!
After many osteos, chiros and massages
I finally feel like I’m getting the attention my body needs

Had my first massage treatment with John today and can't wait for the next one! He is very professional, patient and knowledgeable and I felt immediately at ease and that I was in good hands. It really helped to have things explained in a way that I could understand and relate to and John told me all through the treatment what he was doing and why. I am more than happy to recommend him, he obviously loves what he does and that can only be a benefit to his clients.

Absolute five star and more.
This week I had my first experience of a back problem.
After a session with John, no problem. It turns out that the problem comes from my legs, John worked on them and hey presto the problem went, to me it was absolute magic.
This man knows his stuff, I will be booking in with John again to learn how to stretch properly, I have been training for years and never got it right. He showed me a couple of stretches which are easy to do and work like a dream. I now know the importance of a proper regime of stretching, prior, during and post exercise. All of this in one

My boyfriend and I have both received treatments from John over the last year!
The service is 1st class!
He managed to sort my partners ankles after years of pain from his job!
He takes time to listen and decide what best treatment will be for the long term rather than a quick fix!
Would strongly recommend
