Meet our 2 new therapists!
Juan-Carlos Leon & Ellie Gonzalez are our two newest therapists – read about them here along with the rest of our 5-strong team!
Visit us at either of two central locations – on the same day!
For the first time in the history of our rapidly expanding company – service is being offered at two locations simultaneously! With 2 ex-circus performers in our team we are now ‘juggling’ Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at BOTH Healthy Living Centre AND Natureworks.
You can see our therapist’s weekly schedule here.
With both clinics less than 3 minutes walk from a major tube station, there is now NO EXCUSE not to get rid of the pain!
Becky’s having her baby soon!
Becky is now on maternity leave so won’t be around for a while. She’s doing very well and has just moved into her new flat (I saw her last Sunday – and both her, her flat, and her husband all looked radiant!). Juan Carlos is now taking care of Sundays at HLC.
Any of our therapists can do pregnancy massage although it’s a particular favourite of mine, and I’ve been massaging Becky throughout her pregnancy.
What’s Jon been up to…?
I’ve been enjoying working with pregnancy massage, finding it fascinating how much unborn babies like massage!
I’ve also been doing a lot of post-operative scar massage work – especially working at reducing visible scars and uncomfortable adhesions after chest reduction or enhancement surgery.
I have been doing several days of fascinating anatomy studies with cadavers, taught by the most fantastic anatomy Professor at a London teaching hospital.
I’ve also recently discovered the work of Professor Jon Kabatt-Zinn who runs a ground breaking Stress Reduction/Pain Control Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. I’m finding his presentation of age-old concepts are helping to greatly consolidate the work I already do around stress-reduction/breathing/awareness. I’m currently doing an 8 week course with Michael Chaskalson of Mindfulness Works Ltd – and am looking forward to using these techniques to enhance the work I do.
So now that more therapists are taken on and hours are massively increased, is there a danger of this newsletter turning into a thinly-veiled propaganda tool for yet another faceless corporation? – The same way huge merchants of greed manage to make their multinationals appear like your favourite, friendly uncle?
Well *ahem*…when the bloke running the company is posting Facebook photos of his skinny legs diving in Thailand? Come now, even with the greatest delusions of grandeur, a pair of legs like that cannot be taken seriously. You’ll have to join the City Sports Massage group on Facebook to find out :-) In fact there’s a fiver off in April for every member of the Facebook Group! We might not be a multinational, but we’re still capable of blatant bribery!
Come and see us soon – on Facebook, or better still, in real life!
Best wishes
Jon & the City Sports Massage team
