Overview
Since 3000BC in China it has been documented that massage efficiently encourages the healing of body, mind and spirit. The Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and all major civilizations have recognised the benefits of massage.
In the 21st century we can use massage more than ever. Statisticians tell us stress is increasingly taking its toll on us and our relationships, families and businesses. In response massage is seeing an appropriate and natural surge in popularity. It’s making sense to NHS hospitals, companies like the BBC, Virgin, Apple and countless corporate hospitality suites and individuals.
—By taking care of ourselves
we can give more to others.—
Very good firm deep tissue massage. Not only relaxing, but useful corrective techniques were applied to ease long-standing tensions, which have really made a difference!
Benefits of Massage
Massage provides an excellent and highly effective treatment for stress. It has been proven to help treat the following:
- Muscular aches and pains
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Digestive disorders
- Bad circulation
- Headaches
- Insomnia
- Fatty tissue deposits
- Build up of waste products within the body
- Deficit of natural feel good and pain-killing chemicals
After treatment you will feel deeply calm and refreshed. You will feel a heightened sense of ‘body awareness’, which can help you discover how much tension is being carried in your body.
This can initiate a journey in modifying your own physical and emotional responses to stress.
…I am genuinely amazed how the two 60 minute massage sessions you gave me (within three days of each other) have cured the problem. This enabled me to actually play 4 rounds of golf on 4 consecutive days on a pre-planned golf tour of Italy – I would not have thought it was remotely possible beforehand…

What Happens?
‘All the bad stuff is flushed out and all the good stuff flushed in.’
When you come for your first appointment a brief consultation will take place to discuss your current health and relevant medical history. Your treatment will take into account the connections between lifestyle, mind and body.
During an effective massage blood flushes through the capillaries and cleanses the body of toxins. Nutrients then flood the freshly massaged areas, strengthening the immune system.
Muscle tissue becomes softer and able to function more efficiently. Body fat is broken up leaving the skin smoother and firmer.
The parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated and seretonin & endorphins are released, our natural ‘feel good’ & strong painkilling chemicals.
Our aches and pains are eased and we feel calm, relaxed and at peace.
…Jon’s advice was sound, and his optimism and good sense were invaluable in helping me to the start line. I came in at 4hrs 48, my first marathon at the age of 58, and Jon was there to cheer me on. I recommend him highly.
