Jing Method™ Massage Therapy in Brighton
Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage with Jemma Jackson
Brighton life can be full-on – long hours, full calendars, the constant buzz of energy that never quite lets your body rest. My Jing Method™ Massage sessions offer space to slow down and reset while addressing pain and movement challenges in an evidence-based, collaborative way.
I work from Brighton & Hove Therapies, just a short walk from Brighton Station, providing an inclusive, body-positive environment where everyone is welcome.
Appointments are available on Monday evenings – ideal for unwinding after work or starting the week with intention.
Evidence-based massage with heart
I’m Jemma Jackson, a Jing Method™ teacher and advanced clinical massage therapist. 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.
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.”

Why Jing Method™ Massage?
Pain isn’t just about muscles – it’s shaped by your whole story: stress, relationships, hormones, sleep, trauma, even beliefs about your body. The Jing Method™ takes all of this into account, blending modern pain science with compassionate, skilled touch.
I teach this approach at the Jing Institute here in Brighton, where it’s been redefining how massage therapy is taught and practised for over two decades.

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 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 a session looks like
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 session begins with a check-in and quick review of what’s changed since your last visit. We’ll reassess your benchmarks and decide where to focus that day.
Your hands-on treatment may include deep-tissue or myofascial techniques, hot-stone work, trigger-point therapy, or assisted stretching. Depending on your goals, we might also bring in breathwork, mindfulness, or progressive strength-based movements to help your body keep adapting and build resilience.
This isn’t a one-hit wonder. Every session is part of an outcome-based treatment plan, designed to move you towards your goals step by step. If things aren’t progressing, we’ll mix things up - and if there’s genuinely no change, we’ll talk openly about other options or onward referrals.
As progress builds, sessions are spaced further apart until you either transition into a maintenance membership or feel ready to finish treatment.
“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”

Packages and Pricing
Lasting change takes repetition, not intensity. Packages create the consistency your body needs and also give space for education, reflection, and practical self-care between sessions.
We’ll track your progress together, adapting each stage to your goals..
Sessions start off a minimum of weekly, and as we move towards your goals the gap increases. Once you have worked through a package you are welcome to move onto a membership or book another package.
You can choose from three packages depending on your needs:
-
4 sessions (valid 4 months)
2x 90 mins + 2x 60 mins (book 90 mins online; others arranged together)
This shorter package is ideal if you’re dealing with a new or relatively low-level issue — maybe something like a stiff neck, postural pain, a recent injury, or general muscular tension. It’s also a good choice if you’re brand new to clinical massage and want to get a feel for how this approach can support you.
Together, we’ll begin by listening closely to your body and your goals. Your first session includes a full consultation and orthopaedic assessment. You’ll receive targeted hands-on work (like myofascial release, hot stones, deep tissue massage, and joint mobilisation) as well as guidance on simple movements or lifestyle shifts to support your progress. The two follow-up sessions allow us to build on what works and begin a clear direction forward.
-
6 sessions (valid 8 months)
90 mins + 4 x 60 mins + 90 min review (book 90 mins online; others arranged together)
Designed for people living with ongoing or recurring pain, whether that’s migraines, back pain, pelvic pain, or movement restrictions linked to stress, hormones, or fatigue. This is a great option if your symptoms are starting to impact your day-to-day life or confidence in your body.
We’ll begin with a detailed assessment and map out a plan together. This package allows us to explore the deeper roots of what’s going on - not just the site of your pain, but how your whole system is responding. We’ll use a combination of hands-on treatment, movement rehab, nervous system support, and education to help you reach your goals.
-
10 sessions (valid 12 months)
3 x 90 mins + 7 x 60 mins (book first 90 mins online; others arranged together)
This is the most in-depth support I offer. It’s best suited for people living with complex, long-term pain, multiple overlapping issues, or those recovering from significant life or body changes: including long COVID, burnout, trauma-related pain, or hormonal shifts like peri/menopause.
Pregnant clients are welcome from the first trimester.
The extended format of this package means we can pace things gently and thoroughly. You’ll have more time to settle in, reflect, and try out what we’re working on between sessions. We can track patterns, reassess what’s working, and adapt our plan together. Alongside advanced massage techniques, we’ll focus on nervous system regulation, movement confidence, and sustainable strategies for living with more ease.
Memberships
After completing a package, ongoing monthly or fortnightly sessions can help maintain progress and prevent pain returning.
Pick a rhythm that suits your life and your budget.
Sessions are monthly and don’t roll over.
You can choose from three membership options depending on your needs:
-
Perfect if you want to keep things ticking over. Maybe we’ve resolved a specific issue, but you know your body feels better when you get regular input. Once a month gives you a chance to check in, notice changes, and stay ahead of tension or pain before it builds up again.
-
Great for managing ongoing symptoms, busy bodies, or times of extra stress. Fortnightly treatments give us the space to work with deeper patterns, support your nervous system, and respond to how your body is doing from week to week. It’s steady support, without being overwhelming.
-
For when you know your body needs weekly input to stay on track. This option offers consistent, focused work with enough frequency to really shift stubborn patterns, stay connected to movement goals, or support long-term regulation. It’s also a solid option for people in active rehabilitation or emotionally demanding life seasons.
Just a few things to know:
Memberships are only available to returning clients who’ve completed a package with me. Sessions don’t roll over, so it’s up to you to get them booked in – I’ll help you stay on track. Think of it as a commitment to yourself, not just your calendar.
