Meet James — Deep Tissue Massage Therapist
James has always been fascinated by how the body works — especially how the right hands-on approach can help people move and feel better. After dealing with a few injuries growing up, he found himself drawn to the health industry and the social, people-focused side of helping others recover and stay active.
Now in the final phase of studying Osteopathy, James brings a strong blend of science, empathy, and real-world understanding to every session. His style is all about personal connection and detailed, targeted treatment — helping clients not only ease their pain but also take their mind off it.
A session with James isn’t your average deep tissue massage. You’re getting hands-on care from someone with years of advanced study in Osteopathy — meaning every technique is backed by real clinical knowledge and intent.
He combines deep tissue massage, joint mobilisation, and cupping to relieve tightness, restore movement, and support recovery from injury or strain. His interest in sports rehab and chronic pain has shaped a thoughtful, patient-centred approach — one that looks beyond the surface symptoms to understand how pain affects each person’s life.
“Every client has their own story. My goal is to make sure they feel heard, comfortable, and supported — and that they walk out feeling better than when they came in.”
James prides himself on creating a positive, relaxed, and collaborative experience in each session. He takes the time to explain what’s happening, check in regularly on comfort and pressure, and educate clients where needed — whether it’s about a complex condition or simple recovery habits that make a big difference day-to-day.
Outside the clinic, James has spent over 16 years practising martial arts and playing a range of sports — experiences that have taught him the value of teamwork, discipline, and understanding the body under pressure. It’s that background that helps him connect with everyone from everyday clients to active individuals chasing performance or recovery goals.
He’s especially keen to keep developing his expertise in back and neck conditions, and loves the challenge of complex cases involving multiple structures or nerve irritation.
Long-term, James hopes to grow his client base, and continue making an impact through his hands-on care. In the meantime, he’s focused on helping every person who walks through the door leave feeling looser, lighter, and ready to live life pain-free.
