Testimonials

Jon taught me to breath properly. I hadn’t realised up until this point that I held my breath quite a lot. I had always wondered why swimming tired me out so much, after a length of the pool I needed to stop despite being a competent swimmer. I then realised I was holding my breath for the entire length, thus depriving my muscles of oxygen!

He also taught me to be aware of the tension in my body and to relax my muscles. But what I value most is the expert advise I receive, and knowing I am in safe and experienced hands. 

I appreciate Jon’s honesty and if I need work on something, such as a particular area, he will tell me, and equally if I don’t, he will also tell me. 

I had been experiencing chronic aches, pains and stiffness in my neck, shoulders and back, on and off for several years. This created a build up of tension and stress in all aspects of my everyday life. After taking professional advice and on several recommendations, I contacted City Sports Massage.

In less than 4 visits, spread over a few months, I have noticed a significant change for the better. I have benefited immensely from each session on both a physical and mental level. My problem areas have improved to a point where I am much more able to continue day to day without the pain and distraction I had previously experienced.

There is no ‘magic silver bullet’ for any form of treatment, yet in Jon Gee I have found someone who not only demonstrates complete integrity and dedication to his profession, but is also extremely conscientious. In my eyes, he truly is a master of his art and to whom I have absolute faith and trust.

I thoroughly look forward to my continuing improvement with Jon and the City Sports Massage team.

You gave me the best massage I’ve ever had in 2006. sadly I left for nyc that year - I’ve had hundreds of massages since but they haven’t come close. Thanks!

I had a sports massage appointment with you last Thursday in order to help prepare me for my jujitsu grading. I would just like to say that I passed the grading, and to say thank you. My body felt incredibly relaxed and I was able to breath in the same natural manner that you advised during my appointment. It made a world of difference.

I have regular massages with Becky and she is an excellent massage therapist. I would go as far as to say the best I have ever had! I have a high powered and stressful job and Becky always works out exactly where my stress has manifested itself and removes it! I would recommend Becky to anyone lucky enough to employ her!

I’m sorry I’ve not emailed to thank you for your treatment before this, but the difference your treatment made to me was unbelievable. My shoulders haven’t ached in an age and my swimming stroke has opened up drastically—the coaches really noticed the difference. I really, really appreciate your work! I’ll definitely be back at some point, probably in a few months when we’re in the middle of water polo season again and I’m battered and bruised. Until then, thanks loads—I’ve recommended you to my friends, I know some of them have been!

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. Your easy-to-understand advice on the muscular-related cause of the problem and the simple exercises you demonstrated that will help prevent the problem re-occurring have made me confident with regard to my future golfing activities. This probably sounds a little patronising but I appreciated your down-to-earth manner and the common-sense way of explaining the stresses that backs routinely have to endure and how problems can be cured and/or prevented. I certainly plan to utilise your sports massage service again – I feel a new man afterwards. Please accept my genuine and heartfelt thanks for your efforts on my behalf.

P.S. The unrelated & minor shoulder problem I came to see you about yesterday has completely disappeared after the massage you provided. Is there no end to your magic?    

After picking up a few injuries during my training for the London Marathon 2006, my friend recommended I visit Jon. From my first visit, Jon was extremely professional and made me feel totally at ease. After a few sessions, I could definitely notice a difference in my hip, where previously I was experiencing pain when running. Then, with just a few weeks to go before the marathon, I picked up another injury, this time to the back of my knee. Jon was very reassuring which made me feel more confident about overcoming my latest injury so late in to my training. I successfully completed the marathon, and I didn’t have any problems AT ALL with my knee!! I don’t doubt that without Jon’s expertise I wouldn’t have had such a (relatively!) pain-free race. I highly recommend Jon if you have any aches or pains – he’ll sort them out! Thanks again Jon, just hope I didn’t talk too much…

I’ve had two treatments now after the first made me feel nearly 20 years younger and full of vigour. After many years of regular training as a competitive swimmer life has got a lot more sedentary and desk-bound and I’ve stiffened up with it. Jon provided a good strong focused massage that really targeted the problems. I’ve been able (and motivated), to get out and do some training again.

Hi Jon, just to let you know that you did an absolute blinding job on my leg!…I finished my first ever half - marathon in 1.33.48, which was a bloody good time according to my coach. I feel glad I had the treatment and thanks for patching me up - the outcome may have been different if I didn’t…

It was brilliant seeing you and really helped my shoulder a lot. I’ve had a few twinges creaping back in occasionally, but am doing the exercises you recommended and this seems to be keeping it at bay for now! I won’t hesitate to come back if it gets bad again though.

I do a lot of sports and work on computers every day, and Jon has really helped me through massage and advice. If you have any injuries or tight muscles, Jon can really make a difference. I’ve tried a lot of different sports massage therapists and Jon is by far the best I’ve found.

Thanks for a great treatment last Tue., you really sorted my neck out! I feel great and am aware more of my bad "fight" posture since then.

I’ve had more massages than I can remember as I’ve suffered both chronic lower back pain after surgery and the shoulder/neck tension that comes with being desk-bound and sometimes stressed. In the 5-6 treatments I’ve had so far Jon’s given me more pain relief than all the sessions I’ve had before combined! And it’s more than just pain relief: each week I feel better than the week before. For the first time in a long time I’m getting somewhere!! To anyone with ongoing chronic back pain - I highly, highly recommend making an appointment with Jon.

I arranged an appointment with Jon after a weekend of unbearable pain in my shoulder. I have always been aware of the tension I develop in my upper back/neck area but it has gotten a lot worse since I started more intense gym and kick boxing workouts. So it was only a matter of time before the pain would worsen to an unbearable level. Having heard only positive comments about Jon’s abilities in massage therapy I booked the next available appointment. I went to the clinic and as soon as I entered the therapy room I felt well looked after. Jon made sure he asked all relevant questions about my state of health and possible illnesses in my family.The massage itself was great deep tissue work which was painful at times but I knew I had to go through it in order to be relieved of my pain. Concentrating on my most aching areas and communicating with me, Jon soon found out where the core of my problems was. As the hour was over I felt like all the weight had been taken off my back and the pain was gone. For the first time in days I could move my arms without any problems. Jon also advised me of how to improve my posture in order to prevent any future pain.

I will surely be back soon to continue the treatment.

After a hard slog repairing a ceiling or heaving heavy equipment around, your limbs feel like lead and your muscles are having a hard time forgiving you. Jons magic hands have always got straight to the problem and so I drag myself to the massage table, only to end up floating home as light as a feather.

I went to Jon at a time when I was feeling a bit stressed and found his massage therapy excellent. I frequently have different types of massages elsewhere however I would say this was the first time in my life that I actually felt like I’d had a proper massage. The massage itself however was only one element of the treatment as he helped me develop correct breathing techniques and also advised me on my diet, overall I would say a very holistic approach to well-being - Jon is an extremely knowledgeable guy.

Thanks so much for an amazing massage last night. Definitely feeling like a different person today & have been sneaking in the odd stretch around the office to help keep things limber…See you soon!

Jon puts a lot of skill, energy and enthusiasm into his massage. His treatments are really helping to relieve long-standing pain and tension in my shoulders and arms…

Thanks for my treatment on Thursday and reminding me to breathe!! I actually feel much better since the treatment, including my asthma. Incredible.

Just what I wanted. A firm and thorough massage, really working on the problem areas with enough pressure. I felt really relaxed the whole time and confident I was in good hands.

After the last massage the pain in my lower back has completely disappeared. I was able to go on stage a few hours later feeling totally relaxed and confident not only in my movement but in my state of mind. Your consultation is very attentive and you are able to put me at ease. An uplifting experience throughout. Star!

Felt confident I was in good hands, felt safe & relaxed. There was a lovely balance of energy coming from you into the massage - it was very soothing & calming and the consistency flowed throughout. My tissues felt nurtured and instinctively soothed.

Thank you, that was brilliant. I felt all my tension being pushed out and now I feel really chilled!

You were really helpful and calming which made me feel more relaxed. During the massage I felt nicely connected and really chilled. Afterwards I felt calm and centred and my mind was quiet. My muscles felt they’d been really worked and totally flushed out!

Chest work felt like a ‘little miracle’. Have never had such a beneficial massage

My legs feel so much better after the massage - the swelling and pain is gone and my headache has completely disapperared!
