Where does it hurt?
Symptoms do not always exist in isolation. Movement, physical loading, work demands, recovery, sleep or stress may be relevant — depending on the person. Understanding that context helps make treatment more individual, without assuming that every factor causes pain.
“Two people can arrive with similar symptoms and still need very different sessions.”
The principle behind WholePerson Bodywork
One coherent approach
Understand your symptoms, relevant history, movement, activity and goals.
Use purposeful hands-on treatment for relevant tension, sensitivity and restriction.
Where useful, support comfort, slower breathing and a calmer treatment experience.
Build practical movement, recovery or self-management into what comes next.
“Release” is a clear description of the hands-on stage — not a claim that tissues are forcibly lengthened, realigned or permanently changed.
How I can help
For ordinary bodies, active bodies and people who want more thought than a standard massage routine.
Assessment-led bodywork exploring relevant muscular, movement and loading factors associated with your symptoms.
Support around prolonged sitting, repetitive tasks, limited movement variation and demanding schedules — without blaming posture.
For runners, gym users and active adults seeking support around muscular loading, comfort, mobility and recovery.
Hands-on care that may include slower breathing, pacing and relaxation strategies where appropriate.
For stiffness or movement limitations, with practical guidance to build confidence, variation and physical capacity.
The core service
Professional hands-on treatment remains at the centre. Other approaches are selected only when they suit the individual.
Acupuncture and cupping may be incorporated when appropriate, suitable and consented to.
Strength, mobility, graded movement and yoga-informed guidance can support the Integrate stage.
Gentle breathing may be included. Dedicated breathwork or hypnotherapy is distinct and offered only within appropriate scope.
Treatment may draw from Level 5 soft-tissue therapy, sports and remedial approaches, muscle energy techniques, soft-tissue release, neuromuscular and trigger-point techniques, myofascial approaches, assisted stretching, movement, appropriate joint mobilisation, breathing strategies, acupuncture or cupping.
Tony’s movement background includes Level 4 Referral Personal Training and 200-hour yoga teacher training. His complementary training includes acupuncture, cupping, breathwork facilitation and hypnotherapy. Not every approach is relevant to every client.
Your first appointment
Treatment should never feel like something being done to you without explanation.
Discuss what brings you in, relevant history, activities, goals and preferences.
Where appropriate, use movement, range of motion, palpation and relevant physical assessment.
Choose hands-on approaches in response to the assessment and your comfort.
Where useful, check movement, comfort or relevant findings to understand what changed.
Agree practical movement, recovery, breathing, self-care or next steps.
Clear pricing
The introductory appointment is longer so there is time to understand you before treatment. Individual sessions always remain available.
Available once to new clients.
Time to discuss what brings you in, assess what is relevant, begin individualised treatment and agree useful next steps.

[GOOGLE RATING]About Tony
Tony developed WholePerson Bodywork from a simple observation: knowing more techniques matters less than knowing how to choose what is relevant for the person in front of you.
His background includes Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapy, sports and remedial hands-on work, Level 4 Referral Personal Training, yoga teaching, breathwork facilitation, hypnotherapy, acupuncture and cupping training, an MSc in Transpersonal Psychology and continuing professional development.
Tony is undertaking formal university education in osteopathy. He is not currently a registered osteopath and does not advertise or practise osteopathy.
Years spent in demanding corporate and finance environments also give him first-hand context for long screen hours, deadlines, commuting, workplace pressure and the challenge of making time for movement and recovery. That experience is human context, not a healthcare qualification.

Practical questions
Clear answers before you decide whether the approach is right for you.
It is individualised hands-on bodywork and soft-tissue therapy. Your session is guided by discussion and appropriate assessment, then adapted to your symptoms, activities, goals and preferences.
There is no standard sequence applied to everyone. The aim is to understand enough about you to decide what may be useful, explain the reasoning and tailor the treatment accordingly.
Sports and remedial soft-tissue approaches may be used, but you do not need to play sport. The same principles can be relevant to work demands, repetitive activity, exercise and everyday muscular tension.
We begin with a consultation and relevant history. Where appropriate, Tony may observe movement, assess range of motion, palpate tissues or use relevant physical tests. Treatment, reassessment and practical advice follow, with your consent throughout.
Comfortable clothing is helpful for discussion and movement assessment. Depending on the treatment, Tony will explain any options for clothing or draping so you can decide what feels comfortable.
Effective bodywork does not need to be brutal. Pressure should be purposeful, tolerable and responsive. You can ask for pressure to change, decline a technique or stop at any time.
There is no universal number. Frequency depends on the individual, their goals, presentation, progress and response. The aim is to support confidence and independence, not unnecessary treatment dependence.
Yes. Sessions can consider prolonged sitting, repetitive tasks, limited movement variation, workload and recovery without blaming a single posture or prescribing a mythical perfect one.
Bodywork may support comfort, mobility, relaxation and recovery for active people. It does not guarantee performance improvements or prevent injury, and advice is adapted to your training and current presentation.
Sixty minutes suits many ongoing appointments. Ninety minutes allows a slower pace, more assessment, multiple areas, or time to include movement or breathing strategies where useful.
No. It may be incorporated only when appropriate, suitable, within professional scope and with informed consent. Response varies between individuals. Cupping is also optional and may leave temporary skin marks.
Yes, gentle breathing or pacing strategies may sometimes support relaxation, comfort and body awareness. They are optional and are not presented as a cure or a way to ‘reset’ the nervous system.
That depends on the session, your response and the activity you have planned. Tony can discuss sensible options with you; medical advice may be appropriate in some circumstances.
Please share relevant conditions, medication and recent changes before treatment. Screening may identify contraindications or occasions when medical assessment or another professional is more appropriate.
Seek appropriate medical help for severe, unexplained or worsening symptoms, recent significant trauma, new neurological symptoms, systemic illness, or anything that concerns you. Emergencies require urgent medical care.
