Swedish Massage
Swedish massage uses long strokes, kneading, and circular movements to improve circulation and oxygen flow. This therapy reduces muscle tension, flushes toxins like lactic acid, and promotes deep relaxation. Ideal for stress relief and general wellness, it benefits both physical and mental health through its calming effects on the nervous system.
Sports Massage
Sports massage targets exercise-induced muscle damage and tension through deep pressure techniques. It accelerates recovery by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and breaking down scar tissue. Beneficial for athletes and active individuals, this therapy prevents injuries and enhances performance by maintaining optimal muscle function and flexibility.
Tui Na
Tui Na employs rhythmic compression and joint mobilisation to balance the body's energy flow. This traditional Chinese therapy effectively treats musculoskeletal pain, headaches, and digestive issues by restoring qi circulation. It combines deep tissue work with meridian theory to address both physical symptoms and underlying energetic imbalances.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping creates therapeutic suction using glass or silicone cups to decompress soft tissues. This ancient technique increases blood flow, releases fascial restrictions, and reduces inflammation. Beneficial for chronic pain, respiratory conditions, and muscle recovery, it leaves distinctive circular marks that indicate toxin release and healing processes.
Tao-Yin Therapy
Tao-Yin combines gentle stretching, breathwork, and energy cultivation to improve flexibility and vitality. This subtle therapy addresses chronic pain and postural imbalances through fascial release and qi circulation. Accessible to all fitness levels, it enhances physical mobility, respiratory capacity, and overall energy levels through simple, meditative movement sequences.

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

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.
