Services

Sports / Remedial Massage
This treatment goes far beyond a typical Swedish massage. Designed to reduce muscle tension, promote flexibility, and prevent injury, sports/remedial massage is suitable for both active individuals and those with sedentary lifestyles. Jane will work with you to identify areas of strain or imbalance and develop a targeted plan to restore comfort and function.

Rossiter System Myofascial Release
This innovative two-person stretching technique targets deep connective tissue restrictions that contribute to chronic pain and limited mobility. As an advanced Level 4 Rossiter coach, Jane uses this method to alleviate pain and also prevent it from recurring. It’s ideal for people struggling with stiffness, repetitive strain, or postural issues.

Foam Rolling Masterclass
Perfect for runners, walkers, or anyone leading an active lifestyle, this class teaches you how to use foam rollers safely and effectively. Foam rolling is a form of self-myofascial release that enhances circulation, reduces tightness, and supports recovery.

Assisted Stretching, Rehabilitation & Postural Correction
Many people underestimate how interconnected their body is. Jane’s treatments often include assisted stretches and pelvic or hip work—even when the primary issue lies in the neck or shoulders. Everyday activities like computer work, driving, or gardening can contribute to muscular imbalance. Through tailored stretches, foam rolling, and rehab exercises, Jane helps prevent these issues from developing into chronic conditions.
