Massage
This therapy uses skilful sequences of touch to varying depths to work out areas of tension and tightness whilst also improving the circulation and improving skin and muscle tone. Many people have different experiences and expectations from massage so the following information should help to make the benefits, and Jo's approach, clearer for you.
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.
With awareness of the importance of body-mind connection, emotions and the energy system, and their inclusion in the sessions, this is a truly holistic treatment. Sound healing can be included with great effect for those that are receptive. |
But the treatment does not stop there. Jo is a Physiotherapist and Yoga teacher highly experienced in advice, education and exercise prescription and these can be 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.
To relax... But don't forget that if you simply want to completely relax and enjoy some much needed time for yourself then Jo is also the right person for you. Providing a beautiful, safe and tranquil environment where you can totally relax and enjoy the experience. With comments from clients such as-

What others say...
'I consulted Jo for a chronic neck & shoulder problem, originating from an old injury. I was really impressed with Jo's holistic approach. I also appreciated the individual attention that Jo gave me- I felt she listened to me, and partnered with me in the treatment. I felt in very good hands, due to Jo's solid professional background in physiotherapy, which she blended with other techniques to very good effect. After several treatments I found the problem eased, and I was more able to prevent flare-ups. I wholeheartedly recommend Jo's therapy' Karen
'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 chiropractors 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
'Jo is very welcoming and has such a calm, nurturing presence. She really helps make me feel relaxed and at ease when I have a treatment with her. I have had a few massage sessions with Jo and am always pleased with my experiences. Jo always spends a good while assessing where the pain is coming from and advising on good posture and exercises which will help me in my day to day life. I love the herbal massage oils she uses when massaging my back! I always leave at the end of the session feeling floaty and satisfied. Perfect' Tiff
