Khoo Massage Therapies

Khoo Massage Therapies I’m an upper-body massage specialist in London E9 focusing on TMJ, face, head, neck and shoulders. My aim from day one was simple. I sit somewhere in the middle.

I’m also a TMJ dysfunction sufferer, so my expertise come from personal experience. Sessions take place in my quiet residential studio near Victoria Park. How It All Began
I have always loved receiving massage, but finding someone who actually listened was rare. Many therapists said they tailored treatments, yet most followed their own plan. I often walked out feeling unchanged, or worse, with new tension I did not arrive with. At the same time, I always enjoyed giving massage to friends and family. Eight years ago, while still in an office job, I trained properly, set up Khoo Massage Therapies, and never looked back. I wanted to offer the type of treatment I had been searching for. A treatment where you have a say. A treatment where your time and money go into hands on work, not long chats or strange posture assessments when all you want is release from tight, painful muscles. My Approach
Choosing a therapist is personal. Some people want something spiritual with crystals and energy work. Others prefer a clinical, sports based style. Years of piano lessons shaped the way I use my hands. My massage work is rhythmic and expressive, guided by the music I select for each session. That musical training also taught me how to control pressure with accuracy. Strong when it needs to be, gentle when your body asks for it, always effective. Every treatment I offer has come from years of trying things on myself, learning what works, letting go of what does not, and always looking for better ways to reduce pain and improve comfort.

​My Treatments​

Deep Tissue Massage
I searched for someone who could give a strong, purposeful, relaxing deep tissue treatment. I never found it, so I became it. I learnt that I had the strength, intuition and calm focus to offer deep work that releases tension without feeling harsh or punishing. Signature Head Neck & Shoulder
These are the areas where I carry my own tension. Most therapists I saw either did not have the strength or simply skimmed over the knots. My signature treatment focuses on slow, precise work that reduces tightness instead of sliding over it. I adjust the pressure to your comfort level so the session feels both therapeutic and enjoyable. Pregnancy Massage
When I was pregnant nearly 20 years ago, I struggled to find a therapist who would massage me rather than just lightly stroke my skin. After my training, I developed a more therapeutic approach; one that feels just as effective as a standard massage, with adjustments made for safety. TMJ Intra Oral Therapy
I personally suffer from TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction), migraines, tinnitus, and chronic neck/shoulder tension. After years of self-treatment, I developed effective techniques that have helped countless clients dealing with the same issues. If you grind your teeth, clench your jaw, or wake up with headaches, this is for you. Menopause Massage
Currently navigating peri/menopause myself, I’ve researched and trained in techniques to ease symptoms and improve well-being. This treatment supports women through hormonal changes with a focus on relaxation, circulation, and tension relief. Microneedling
I did not expect to offer this. After training, I realised how beneficial it was. My skincare routine has always been simple. Clean face, moisturiser, done. Approaching fifty and noticing hormonal changes in my skin pushed me to try something new. Microneedling surprised me. It was comfortable despite my low pain tolerance, and the results were immediate. Credentials

Membership removes the decision fatigue. Once you’re in, your monthly reset is automated. No contracts. No pressure. You can reschedule, pause, or cancel at any time through your portal.

Sessions are booked by duration, not diagnosis, so your treatment can change month to month as your needs change. No more meaning to book until you’re in pain. Just scheduled relief.

A recent client shared this after a 2 hour menopause massage.

“ I came out feeling physically and mentally revived. The pressure point work was incredibly effective. ”

Menopause can affect the body in unpredictable ways. Sessions are never cookie cutter. Pressure, pacing, and focus all adapt to how you are actually feeling, not how a treatment is supposed to go.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review.

Did you know your nervous system learns stress in the same way it learns strength?

When the body repeats the same posture or tension day after day, the brain reinforces those patterns. That is why tight shoulders, jaw clenching, and recurring headaches often return after one off massage sessions.

Bodies change with repetition.
Rest included.

We are very good at effort.

We push. We cope. We keep going.

Most people only book massage when something hurts badly enough to justify it. By then the body is not asking. It is demanding.

I have written a blog about why rest works best when it is consistent rather than reactive and why treating massage like a gym membership makes more sense than waiting for a breakdown.

New client review

Lauren has had several intra oral TMJ treatments elsewhere and said this was the best she has ever had.
She felt relief in areas no one had been able to reach and appreciated the focus on her shoulders, neck and non verbal cues.

TMJ work is personal and detailed. It is always meaningful to hear when someone feels real change.
Thank you Lauren for taking the time to share your experience.

When the jaw affects the voice

Vocalists are almost twice as likely to report TMJ related pain compared with non singers.
When the jaw loses mobility the larynx works harder and the voice can feel squeezed or limited even with good technique.

If your upper range feels stuck, it might be your jaw rather than your voice.

TMJ and Singing

Singers often feel vocal changes long before they feel jaw pain.
A tight jaw can raise the larynx, narrow your vowel space and make the throat work harder than it should.

New research shows that singers experience higher rates of TMJ related pain than non singers. When the jaw moves better you often hear the difference immediately.

My latest blog explains why this happens and what helps.

DID YOU KNOW
Jaw pain tends to spike during the festive season. A UK survey reported a 35% increase in clenching and grinding in December. It is rarely the chewy food. It is the rush to finish work, the crowded calendars and the disrupted sleep.
If you have more clicking, tension or morning headaches right now, it is a common pattern I see every year. TMJ focused treatment can ease the load and settle your jaw again.

TMJ symptoms can go on for years when only the surface of the problem is treated. Many clients come to me after trying s...

TMJ symptoms can go on for years when only the surface of the problem is treated. Many clients come to me after trying splints, physiotherapy and medication with no lasting change.

Intra oral TMJ work focuses on the deeper muscles that create clenching, restricted opening and facial pressure. When combined with structured head, neck and upper back treatment, the results can feel immediate.

If you live with jaw pain or chronic tension, there is a more effective way forward.
Appointments available in Hackney E9.
