Shan Holistic Massage Therapy

Gerry has supported me with a Wellbeing Programme for more than 900 NHS staff across Leeds and the quality of his holistic approach is exceptional. Gerry is not only a very skilled massage therapist, but also has a range of mind and body therapeutic interventions at his disposal to identify and treat client issues. After experiencing just 20 mins of treatment from Gerry, one of our NHS guests became emotional as she showed me the range of movement in her arm that had been painful and restrictive for many years. I would highly recommend Shan Holistic Massage Therapy.

Booked in to see Gerry last week after an awful weekend of “toothache and sinusitis”. I’m in my third trimester and unable to take most pain relief. Gerry took his time to go through muscle stretches and helped to relax my neck muscles. After seeing him just once, the face/jaw pain had massively reduced. Will definitely be returning should there be an issue in the future (hopefully not!!!)Recommend!!Thank you, Gerry!

More than a review I hope my experience can be helpful for people like me who have struggled with pain,have tried alternative therapies and still feel stuck in the same circle of pain. When I met Gerry I was at a crossroads with my pain. Even though I had been told I had to learn to live with my pain there was a part of me who didn't want to give up, that was fed up of pain being the highlight of my day.From my first session with Gerry my relationship with pain changed, I was able to understand and recognise the big impact my thoughts and feelings have on my pain. With a combination of massage therapy which is by the way unique and the mind work sessions I am finally able to wake up and pain not being the first thing I feel. The circle of pain that I was stuck in is no longer active. It is through a lot of work and dedication to my sessions that I am able to be at this point in my life. Gerry has been a true inspiration to my journey. His professionalism, support, understanding and his true listening nature has made this journey achievable. The first step is wanting to change, the rest of the journey its never giving up.

Gerry has just treated an ankle injury, which 5 months after breaking it, and despite lots of focussed post injury excercises was still causing significant pain if I walked any distance on uneven terrain. Improvement seemed to have stopped - after one treatment and Gerrys advice on additional excercises and support the improvement has been significant. First long walk only a few days later nearly painfree. Its like magic, so glad I had some treatment. Would highly recommend Gerry, really caring and passionate about his work. Thank you :-)

Gerry was really great. He listened to what was going on for me, and then tailored the massage to suit me. He also gave me lots of tips on stretches I can do myself to help alieviate tension. Overall he is very kind, professional and I felt very looked after. I'm sure I'll be back again soon. Thank you Gerry!

I was lucky enough to chance on Gerry one night after years of insomniatic Googling. I came to him struggling with burnout, chronic fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, digestion problems, PMS, carpal tunnel syndrome and TMJ. After seeking help from doctors, osteopaths, chiropractors, nutritionists, acupuncturists, therapists, energy workers, one session with Gerry gave me more respite and hope than the rest put together.I've worked with Gerry for 6 months and I'm delighted to say all my issues apart from the TMJ, which is nearly there, have been resolved. He's helped me realise a better life for myself and I could not be more grateful. In a world that doesn't make time for people, Gerry's skills are a rare gem.

I've seen many osteopaths, chiropractors and physios in my lifetime, and know a good one from bad. So I was delighted to discover how good Gerry is. Very professional and very knowledgeable, he sorted my extreme shoulder pain in one session. I had been taking painkillers for 4 days to cope with the pain, and I've not needed any since. He also found various other niggles in my back that I'd had so long I'd just got used to them or forgotten, and he got to work on those too. I left feeling as light as a feather. Can't recommend enough.

Gerry is friendly and knowledgeable. He has helped me numerous times with shoulder, neck and back issues. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Gerry!

After months of my 12year old son being in excruciating pain unable to enjoy his sports activities & with hardly any help from the Drs, Gerry was highly recommended to me so I made an appointment to go see him. After our first visit to him I’m pleased to say we now know the source of the problem & my son is now pain free back playing football. We’ve been to Gerry a couple of times & will definitely be going back again. Thank you for your help, such a nice friendly gentleman & a very relaxing setting.
