‘I first went to Joanna with a painful shoulder which hurt when I put my hand-bag on the car seat or picked up a jar of coffee. She quickly found the source of this pain, treated it and taught me how to treat myself. Since then we have worked our way through a multiple of aches and pains with a combination of trigger point therapy and myofascial release.
‘My body now feels completely different to when I began seeing Joanna –where once I had chronic aches now I have short term ‘niggles’ caused by lifting heavy weights or wearing stupidly high heels. I am confident that she can resolve any aches or pains that I present her with and that she will give me the tools and the knowledge to continue my treatment at home.’

‘I was originally referred to Joanna by a colleague who rated her extremely highly, and I wasn’t disappointed. Joanna is very serious about her work and committed to leaving no stone unturned when it comes to finding a solution to her clients’ problems. She certainly went the extra mile for me, trying out various treatments until we found the best ones for my complaint. She creates a very relaxed but professional atmosphere in her treatment room and that makes the experience a pleasant one, even when she’s getting into some painful places! I can’t wait to try the stones.’

'A cycle ride that was possibly a few miles too many, although I didn't realise it at the time, probably contributed to my experience with Polymyalgia Rheumatica. After following various avenues for treatment, I visited Joanna for the first time about a year ago when she suggested a very gentle form of massage, called Myofascial Release. In contrast to other rather 'heavy handed' therapy I had experienced elsewhere, I found the treatment with Joanna both calming and soothing and I am sure this has contributed to my being well on the road to a full recovery. I now have an appointment with Joanna once a month or so, just to maintain a steady recovery and to relax beautifully for an hour or so with Hot Stone Massage – what bliss. This is a therapy everyone ought to experience – it is totally relaxing, the warmth from the stones soothing every tired and aching muscle.’

‘I have been massaged by Joanna Payne for almost two years now on a weekly basis. I have arthritis and polymyalgia and find a combination of massage and myofascial release helps my pain a great deal.’
