As a dedicated massage therapist in Wandsworth, I specialise in alleviating the persistent discomfort of back, neck, and shoulder pain. These are common complaints that are often rooted in our modern lifestyle, where long hours at the desk or in the car can lead to imbalances that leave muscles susceptible to injury. I understand how difficult it can be to live with chronic pain, which is why I offer specialised solutions designed to help you.
Whether it's headaches, jaw-clenching, or neck pain, the source is often traced back to issues in the upper back or shoulders. Lower back pain might be connected to tightness higher up in the middle back, imbalances in the pelvis, or tension in the buttocks and hamstrings. Many times, these pains are linked to muscle tension, overuse, or chronic conditions. Just because these areas of pain are common, doesn’t mean you should just learn to live in discomfort. These conditions can be addressed with my clinical massage in London.
Drawing from over 15 years of experience in clinical and sports massage therapy in Wandsworth, I'm here to address your specific concerns. My focus on chronic pain conditions and sports injuries allows me to tailor effective massage therapy treatments to aid in your recovery and improve your overall well-being, allowing you to enjoy day-to-day activities again.

To treat your back, neck, or shoulder pain, I am qualified to carry out a combination of massage therapy and bodywork techniques, including clinical and remedial massage therapy, Swedish massage, trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage, myofascial release (MFR), soft tissue release (STR), and advanced stretching techniques like PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) or MET (muscle energy techniques). My approach also integrates myofascial cupping massage.
My passion for delivering the best possible outcomes for my clients, coupled with my extensive qualifications and ability to carry out many different pain-relieving techniques, means I am able to make an expertly personalised plan, focusing on your specific pain and goals for the future. We can work together to achieve amazing results.

“I had dislocated my shoulder 3 months previously. The physio was working but I had lack of mobility and strength in my shoulder which was interfering with my swimming and causing pain. I was planning a 2 mile swim in the Serpentine and needed Jo to help me get to a place where I could actually do the swim without damaging my shoulder. I was concerned that massage therapy wasn`t the answer and I needed something more radical. In addition Jo was recommended by my physio I wasn`t sure she would be able to do what was needed in the time frame. We started with a full consultation, during every part of the process Jo expected to feedback following the various techniques and procedures she used. Every massage was a step up from the last. It never become routine. After series of treatments I am mostly pain free for longer periods between massages and my shoulder is almost completely mobile. I will highly recommend her.”
“Before working with Joanna my initial body condition has been very varied over the past few years. I had no reservations as I trusted a recommendation from someone I knew well who was very experienced at receiving massages over a 20 year period and they said Joanna was the best! The process of working with her has been entirely positive. Her work has been very professional and extremely beneficial whatever the complaint I have brought to her. The one best result is impossible to recall.
Whatever the complain and discomfort - small to large - the result has been the relief and reduction in symptoms and a better sense of overall well-being...
You will be in safe and very competent hands.”
“I have received massage treatments from Joanna over a numbers of years. Five years ago it became difficult for me to walk for more than 200-300 yards. The diagnosis of the physio was:
1. Left peripheral nerve irritation from L5/S1 facet joint due to stiffness of his lumbar spine.
2. Left gluteal minimus tendinopathy.
3. Mechanical hip pain due to weakness of his gluteals and control at his pelvis.
Joanna helped me with a set of regular treatments and exercises that dealt with these issues.
Joanna is a massage therapist who combines physiology insights with deep knowledge of human behaviour. And she has a helpful and caring approach.
Regular massage treatments have also helped me with keeping a sense of balance in the face of stressful work-conditions.”
