about us
I’m Joel Smith, an Advanced Clinical Sports Massage Therapist based in Shipston on Stour.
I help people dealing with pain, injury and ongoing physical issues, whether that’s from sport, work or everyday life.
My approach is based on the Jing Method of Advanced Clinical Massage.
Each session is tailored to you and may include:
• Assessment
• Hands on treatment
• Movement and rehab advice
The aim is not just to reduce pain, but to help your body move and respond better over time.
why i do this
Before becoming a therapist, I came from an elite sporting background in golf.
I represented my county, won WAGR events and reached a world ranking of 1071. I’ve also worked within professional golf, caddying on both the Clutch and Challenge Tours.
Through this, I developed a strong passion and understanding of how the body performs and what happens when it doesn’t.
My journey into massage therapy started from my own experience with ongoing pain.
I found it frustrating dealing with issues that didn’t fully resolve, or that kept coming back despite treatment.
That experience pushed me to learn more, not just how to treat symptoms, but how to better understand the body and why pain persists.
Now, I focus on helping people who feel stuck with recurring problems, providing treatment that looks beyond short term relief.
qualificatons
I’ve completed the Advanced Clinical Massage Training with Jing and I am currently progressing through the BTEC Level 6 in Clinical Sports Massage. I am also a Level 3 Personal Trainer, allowing me to support clients with both treatment and rehabilitation. My goal is simple: To help people get out of pain, move better and get back to doing what matters to them.
If you’re dealing with something that keeps coming back, or not improving the way you’d expect, I may be able to help. You can book online or get in touch if you have any questions.
