About Massage Hands

After finishing my University Degree, I found that I was desperate to find a job where I could genuinely help people, without having to sell or market anything which I didn’t genuinely believe in myself.

I then spent many years travelling abroad, culminating in spending two years in China.

In China I was lucky enough to afford a massage at least once a week. When I returned to England, I couldn’t help wondering just why I had felt so good after a massage, even though at the time I only went to them for general relaxation and stress relief.


“My ethos is a dedicated approach designed to produce the best results possible for each patient, whether that is treating an existing injury or preventing it re-occurring.”


Investigating massage further, I came across and enrolled at the Northern Institute of Massage in Bury, which is one of the best massage schools in the UK. There I was able to really learn why massage is so good for you and its wide-ranging remedial benefits.

I added this to my experience of massage for relaxation and stress relief and soon realised that I had found the career I was looking for – a job where I can genuinely help people and improve their lives and make a difference.

With Massage Hands, my ethos is a dedicated approach designed to produce the best results possible for each patient, whether that is treating an existing injury or preventing it re-occurring.


I was recommended to try Stephen by Simon Cole a good friend of mine who suffered with back pain for many years. He has since treated that and quite probably every other part of my body, from stiff calf’s to tennis elbow, to stiff shoulders (all these are golf related).

Every time he provides detailed information about the problem and more often than not solves the problem. If he can’t solve the problem then he will tell you immediately and suggest the appropriate place to go or person to see. If he can help he will but he is not too proud to admit if he can’t do anything which i think i almost appreciate as much as the times as he does help me.
