John Mackie has an exceptional depth of knowledge across a range of closely related massage therapies and truly is a master - if not a guru - in his field. His understanding of pressure points and nerve pathways is remarkable, and I’ve experienced the benefits first‑hand. When I first started running, my legs and back were in a terrible state; I was practically hobbling. John brought me back from being a wreck and enabled me to complete Couch to 5K and eventually move on to regular 10Ks. His advice on posture, listening to your body, and treating niggles early has been invaluable. John doesn’t just work on your body - he listens to it. He always checks that the level of pressure he’s applying is comfortable (I like a lot!), and he instinctively finds the exact spots that need attention, resolving issues quickly and effectively. More recently, he treated problems with my neck, shoulders, and back caused by long hours at a desk. The neck‑lifting and support techniques he used made an immediate and amazing difference to how I feel today. He genuinely loves his work, and it shows in every session. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. His treatments are highly effective, and his prices are very reasonable for the results he delivers.
