Many people have different experiences and expectations from massage so the following information should help to make the benefits clearer for you.

What does massage mean to you? Some people think it is lying down and relaxing whilst someone rubs oils into your skin, some worry it might be painful, or that they will feel embarrased. It can be thought of as a routine, repetitive treatment, or something that you only have as a treat once in a while. |

But it can be so much more than this...
With Jo every massage treatment is a truly unique experience with her knowledge and years of experience, both in massage and physiotherapy, allowing her a sensitive touch that will make you realise she is really in tune with your body and its needs at that very moment. A thorough assessment will also put you at ease and together you will decide on the best course of treatment for you. Massage can be clothed for those that prefer. |
As a therapy... The pressure and strokes can be altered and refined to suit you- from deep tissue massage to a very gentle and subtle, but still highly effective, massage treatment. Even the smallest and subtlest of pressure points and niggles can be found and worked with allowing improved alignment of the soft tissues, and surrounding joints, along with improved blood flow and energy flow.
But the treatment does not stop there. Jo is a Physiotherapist and highly experienced in advice, education and exercise presciption and these are also available alongside the massage for those needing more input into a specific problem. The combination of these skills leads to amazing results when treating aches and pains and can actually stop them from recurring by tackling them at the root of the problem and giving you the knowledge and skills to empower you to help yourself.

What others say...
'Jo helped me improve my posture and literally unknotted me! Her deep tissue massage skills are amazing and I always felt like I floated out at the end of a massage. If I had a particular niggle Jo would always be able to offer personalised advice: the right stretches and exercises to help me help myself.' Clare Hookem
'I called Jo to help me with an ongoing problem I had for 6 months. I had seen doctors and chirporactors as the problem had got so severe resulting in real difficulty sleeping and unable to work, but Jo's treatments combining massage, exercises and advice was the only thing that eased the pain. I am now back doing everything I enjoyed doing before and without any pain. It relieved stress at the time too and I loved the wide range of oils to choose from. She is very skilled at working out those stubborn knots, or just giving a general massage. Whether for pain relief, or just a relaxing treat, Jo is definitely the person to call!' Kim
'Thank you for today! I feel wonderful. I can feel so many parts of my body I wasn't aware of! It's a wonderful feeling. It's a sensation of being connected with myself, in a very literal sense of feeling each muscle connected to the next. I love it!' C C
