“I have been treated by Julie at jmb clinical massage for many years now. She has an instinctive way of finding and treating any issues I have and to keep me injury free and able to pursue my chosen sport of triathlon to a high level. Her in depth knowledge of the subject gives me confidence in her treatment of me, and her friendly nature make a treatment with Julie a pleasure. I thoroughly recommend her to anyone with pains and injuries that will benefit from a clinical massage.”
Tim – Sports & fitness
“I have been using Julie now for many years and I cannot recommend her enough. I first visited Julie full of pain in fear of ending up in a wheelchair after a nasty horse-riding accident. I was at an all time low. Julie was not only welcoming and understanding but her treatments have enabled me to become virtually pain free have an operation and strengthen my muscles. Julie has been the only person who has been able to identify the pain in the exact area and treat without causing further pain and discomfort. Her understanding and empathy is second to none.”
Debbie – Chronic Pain
“Myofascial release is a wonderful treatment. If only the NHS could plan it after our radiotherapy treatment. I was rather sceptical initially but I’m totally won over by it..”
Jenny – Breast surgery & fibrosis
“As a Carer I find Julie’s support for my stress, both mentally and physically, invaluable. I leave a massage session revived in body and soul.”
Christine – Emotional trauma
“Approximately 6 years ago, an MRI scan diagnosed a degenerative disc in the lower back region, which caused me much pain and discomfort. I could not sit comfortably without pain for long periods of time, and being a physically active person, was not happy. I’d historically tried numerous physiotherapists, chiropractors and pain killers. I’ve been visiting Julie on a monthly basis for the past five years, and have been without pain since. Julie is truly a magician, as well as being very pleasant and professional – maintaining my back health and keeping a check on other muscles and injuries.”
Deborah – Disk degeneration
“I was diagnosed in 2006 with Fibromyalgia and tried everything and anything to try to get relief from the pain, tightness, lack of sleep, and all the other nasty effects of Fibro. Nothing helped, at least not for any length of time. In 2019 my son suggested I look into Myofascial Release treatment. I found Julie, and she has been a revelation. Slowly and gently she has eased the symptoms and flare-ups, releasing muscles that had been knotted and tight for years causing all sorts of issues. I accept my condition will never go away, but Julie has made it bearable, and easier to live with. I know that when flare-ups happen, a visit to Julie will ease them and bring it all under control again. She is a miracle-worker in my eyes.”
Anne – Fibromyalgia
“Regular massage treatment with Julie has, over time, reduced the incidence of severe migraine headaches. Julie’s treatment has also improved mobility in my knee and toe, which had both deteriorated due to osteoarthritis”
Bradley – Migraines & osteoarthritis
“I was getting by, putting up with, the scarring, tightness etc. until my myofascial release sessions with Julie Barnard.”
Fiona – Breat surgery & Fibrosis
“Another myofascial release session and yet more improvement. Why don’t all plastic surgeons recommend this treatment to help with scarring cause by surgery etc?”
Ann – Breast surgery & Fibrosis
“Julie is a highly skilled and experienced clinical massage therapist who is also very kind, caring and intuitive. Her treatment very effectively relieved my neck and shoulder stiffness and pain. In addition, she discovered and released areas of deeply embedded tension in my back muscles arising from the trauma of a car accident many years ago. I have no hesitation in recommending her. “
Carol – Emotional & physical trauma
“Having attended JMB for treatment over various sessions and conditions, my best way to describe the treatment technique is Body Talk as Julie locates the pain area I am experiencing and then uses her clinical knowledge to treat the area. I can identify with this by feeling the actual treatment process through the pain and restrictions to a NO pain gain rather than ‘no pain no gain’. To me this is more tangible than some other treatments that appear to lack the patient connection of feeling the treatment progress.”
