John graduated from the London School of Massage in 2011, so he's been helping people feel more at ease in their bodies for almost 15 years! He heads up our awesome Elliott Court team and is a big muso, loving everything from cheesy pop to hardcore punk.

We asked him some nosy questions just for you...

-----------

✨ What inspired you to become a massage therapist?

I had a lot of Sports massage when training for marathons and
became really interested in the science behind it, and wanted to
help other people achieve their goals.

✨ What type of massage do you enjoy giving the most and why?

I love all keeping injury free through maintenance massage, but
also helping people recover from injury if that does happen.

✨ What’s the most rewarding feedback you’ve received from a client?

Being told that i have changed someones life, by helping to get
them off of medication for migraines!

Book in with John at Elliott Court.

'Sports massage will make me sore for days'.

Myth: Sports massage is tough on the body.

Reality: A good therapist knows how to work with your body, not against it. You might feel a little tender but you shouldn’t be hobbling.

We're aiming for relief, not regret.

☀️ Summer = more movement, more fun… but also more injuries if you go too hard, too soon.

But we promise, staying active doesn't automatically mean getting sidelined if you ease on in and take good care of that body.

Had that same pain for months… or even years?

You’re not alone. We’ve had clients come in with pain they’ve been 'putting up with' for a decade. Ten whole years!!

Just because you’ve learned to live with it doesn’t mean you should. Anything over 6–12 months is classed as chronic and it’s never too late to do something about it.

'If I rest, the pain will go away on its own.'

Myth: A bit of rest and time off will sort it.

Reality: Hmmmm....sometimes pain DOES ease with rest but if it keeps coming back, there’s usually an underlying issue that needs attention.

Your body might need more than just a break. A proper assessment can help you actually recover not just hit pause until the next flare-up.

Bloated? Tired? Just not feeling like yourself this summer?

Summer’s meant to feel light and energising but between BBQs, ice creams, and late nights, your body might be feeling a bit... meh.

Our Nutrition Plan is a simple way to reset without going full green juice and lettuce leaves.

It’s 21 days of:
👉 Easy, nourishing meals
👉 Gut-friendly support
👉 No guilt, no guesswork, no food drama

You’ll feel lighter, more energised, and maybe even sleep better (it's true).

If your body’s been waving a little white flag lately, this might be your sign.

Chloe's favourite bit of feedback ever 😍 😍

And one of ours too!!

“Massage is only for athletes.”

Myth: You have to be training for a marathon or lifting heavy to ‘deserve’ a massage.

Reality: Not even close. You don’t need to be sporty (or even sweaty) to benefit. Massage is great for desk-related tension, iffy sleep, stress, headaches, back pain and just feeling out of sync in your body.

If you’ve got muscles (spoiler: you do), massage will help.
