Jing Method™ Massage Therapy in Brighton
Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage for persistent pain, Monday evenings in the Lanes
If you've had pain for months, or years, you've probably tried a few things already. Some of it helped a bit. Some of it helped for a week. Maybe you've been told there's nothing structurally wrong, which is reassuring right up until the point where it still hurts.
That's the work I do.
I'm Jemma Jackson, a Jing Method™ advanced clinical massage therapist and Headteacher at the Jing Institute. I work with people living with persistent pain: back, neck, shoulder and knee pain, fibromyalgia, ME, chronic fatigue, hypermobility, and through pregnancy and the fourth trimester.
I work from The Lanes Health Practice, a quiet, light room a few minutes from the seafront. Appointments are Monday evenings, which means you can commit to a course of treatment without taking time off work.
Evidence-based massage with heart
I’ve spent years working with people living with pain, fatigue, or physical change – helping them reconnect with their bodies and find practical ways to move with more ease.
I teach this approach at the Jing Institute here in Brighton (Bond St), where it's been redefining how massage therapy is taught and practised for over two decades.
Jing Method™ Massage isn’t a routine or a “quick fix”. It’s a flexible framework that combines hands-on techniques, movement, and pain-science education to support long-term change. We’ll work together to understand what your body needs and how to help it recover strength, balance, and confidence.
Sessions are suitable for persistent pain, pregnancy from conception to the fourth trimester, and anyone adjusting to life or body changes.
“Jemma is exceptionally knowledgeable and skilled and managed to get to the root on my knee pain and treat the cause of my pain, rather than the symptoms. Giving me a good dose of education and letting me know what is causing my pain and how to manage it and prevent it from raising its ugly head again. Can not recommend highly enough.”

Who I work with
Many of my Brighton clients spend long hours at desks, on their feet, or in creative roles that demand focus but take a toll on the body. Others are managing persistent/chronic pain, fatigue, hypermobility, or hormonal shifts, or are in pregnancy or postnatal stages.
I also work with neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ clients who appreciate a calm, sensory-aware space where they can show up exactly as they are.
If your body feels tense, tired, or simply not your own, this work can help you reconnect and move with more comfort and confidence.
What to expect
Your first session is longer, giving us time for a thorough consultation, assessment, and any special testing if needed. This is where we set out your treatment goals and record our baseline measures - things like pain levels, range of movement, sleep, energy, or anxiety.
Each follow-up begins with a check-in and reassessment, then hands-on work that may include deep-tissue and myofascial techniques, trigger-point therapy, or assisted stretching – woven together with movement, mindfulness or strength-based rehab where it helps. Every session is part of an outcome-based treatment plan, not a one-off.
Programmes and Pricing
I work in programmes and memberships rather than single sessions (from £290), because for persistent or complex pain, what you do consistently over time matters far more than any one treatment.
All programmes, memberships, prices and FAQs are on the Programmes & Pricing page.
Jing Institute students: you can book special student sessions on Monday evenings in Brighton or at my Newhaven clinic
“Jemma is an incredible massage therapist. I have rheumatoid arthritis and her treatments help calm my system down and I always feel amazing afterwards. She really knows her stuff and gives great self care suggestions. If you suffer with any kind of chronic pain I can't recommend her enough”

Clinic Location
Visiting The Lanes Health Practice
Address:
The Lanes Health Practice
9 Bartholomews, Little East Street, Brighton, BN1 1HG
Google Maps: Every Expression Therapies
Finding the door:
Look for the blue door with a sign beside it and the number 9. Press the buzzer and I'll come down and let you in.
You can reach us on foot from two directions: via East Street and Quadrophenia Alley, or via Bartholomews and Little East Street. Both work, pick whichever you prefer.
Please arrive no more than five minutes before your appointment. I'll usually be with another client and won't be able to let you in any earlier. If you're someone who likes to be early (no judgement), there are worse places in the world to sit for ten minutes than the Lanes.
Getting here:
By train: a 10-minute walk from Brighton Station.
By bus: Old Steine is the nearest main stop.
By car: The Lanes Car Park on Black Lion Street, BN1 1ND, is closest. NCP Brighton Theatre is an easy walk too. The JustPark app is often cheaper than paying at the machine, so worth a look before you set off.
Already in the area: we're a 5-minute walk from the Jing Institute.
Access:
The treatment room is on the first floor, up a flight of stairs, and there is no lift. It's an old building and that isn't something we can change. So if stairs are difficult or not possible for you, this room won't work.
If that's you, my Newhaven clinic may suit you better: the therapy room there is on the ground floor, though there are a few steps up a sloped path to the front door. There's free parking on the drive. Do get in touch if you'd like to talk through what would work for you before booking, including any sensory or communication preferences you'd like me to know about.
Once you're up the stairs, the space is quiet, light and peaceful.
