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

My Philosophy
The best treatments aren’t done to you. they’re done with you. No one knows your body better than you do. My role is to listen, adapt, and deliver a treatment that works for you.

If you live with jaw pain, clicking or constant clenching, you have probably heard of Botox for TMJ. It can help for a short time, but it does nothing for the deeper jaw muscles that cause the problem.

Intra oral massage reaches the areas Botox ignores, including the pterygoids inside the mouth. Research shows that manual therapy can reduce pain, improve jaw movement and ease headaches far more effectively.

I have written a full breakdown on the website explaining why intra oral massage is a safer and more effective choice for long term relief.
