Hi, I’m Jo Schaab.
As an Advanced Clinical Massage Therapist, I utilise techniques that are the best from both the Eastern and Western/evidence-based traditions including trigger point therapy, myofascial work, acupressure and stretching. My approach is truly holistic and is based on the concept that pain emerges from a mixture of biological, psychological, and social factors that vary from individual to individual.
This allows me to treat chronic musculoskeletal pain including; back pain, sciatica, neck pain, whiplash injuries, migraines, frozen shoulder, sports injuries, knee pain, ligament and tendon issues. This approach can also benefit systemic conditions such as; fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and plantar fasciitis.
I create a treatment tailored to you and I am totally committed to working alongside you to get the results you need.
My Approach
Health is about the whole person: their physical body is important but so is their support networks, environment, attitudes, and beliefs.
Evidence-based
I am fully qualified and insured, I’m a member of the Scottish Massage Therapists Organisation (SMTO). I have specialist training in Pregnancy Massage Therapy (which was accredited by the Federation of Antenatal Educators).
Trauma-informed
I am particularly proud to serve my local LGBTQ+ community. Anyone is welcome as a client to my clinic as long as you are kind and respectful.
