About me

Donna Back -Jing Method™ Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage Therapist.

Hi, my name is Donna Back—yes, it really is Back! And what’s more, I grew up on Back Lane.

My journey into massage therapy began back in the 90s, sparked by comments from friends and family that I had “healing hands.” Inspired, I qualified in massage therapy and haven’t looked back since.

Over the years, I’ve honed my skills across a variety of modalities, working in settings as diverse as lively festivals, serene retreats, online workshops, and even the comfort of clients’ homes.

I now specialise in back and hip pain, particularly for women navigating peri- and post-menopause, as well as those with busy desk-based work or physically demanding lifestyles like gardening. These are areas where many people hold long-term tension, discomfort, and the cumulative effects of daily life.

In addition to my massage work, I’ve dedicated a significant part of my career to supporting young people who have experienced trauma. This role has strengthened my commitment to serving others with care and compassion while deepening my understanding of how the human body holds onto stress and pain.

Today, my focus is entirely on my passion for massage therapy, where I feel deeply connected to my work with every client I see,

I work from my bespoke garden treatment space, The Teal Room—a calm, private environment I’ve thoughtfully designed, shaped by my years of experience of what clients need to truly feel comfortable and supported, to enable them to fully relax during their treatment.

My mission remains clear: to help you find relief from pain, restore your well-being, get you back to doing what you love and to give you a truly great massage.

Testimonials

I’ve been receiving monthly treatment from Donna, and the results have been remarkable. I initially struggled to bend and walk due to hip pain, but noticed significant improvement after the first session, which continued with each visit. I’m now pain-free and moving freely. Donna is professional, kind, and caring—highly recommended.
I went to see Donna after suffering with a lower back issues. Her space is so lovely, warm and nurturing. Donna is kind and empathic and very qualified and professional. My 90 minute massage was amazing, every time she touched me it was with intention to heal which I have done within days. I highly recommend Donna if you have any part of you that just aches, all the way to injury. Thank you Donna for your expertise and magic hands - I will be back for sure!
I had previously suffered with hip pain caused by a tight Psoas and had seen an osteopath who got it all sorted. The pain returned slightly and I saw that Donna offered Jing massage. Donna used some very similar techniques which my osteopath had used and got rid of my hip pain. The whole experience was relaxing but focussed on treating the area causing pain. It was such a relief.
When I first saw Donna I was in agony. I have now passed all my year's milestones with only one incident of pain and that was sorted very quickly.
I would like to thank Donna for her support and the time taken to successfully treat and resolve a cycling injury. Last year a hip injury from a few decades ago started to cause problems and my ability to cycle was really starting to suffer. Donna worked with me to identify the issue and over several sessions the injury really started to ease up. After a few more sessions the injury issue was resolved and I was back on the bike, pedalling happily over long distances without any pain or restriction. The holistic and gentle approach taken by Donna to treat this problem has really done the trick and I am extremely grateful for her treatment.
Donna Back is such a genuine and kind person and this reflects in the empathic way she approaches therapies. She listens and applies her knowledge and skill with care making sure your treatment focuses on the experience and outcome you need. You're in a safe pair of hands with Donna Back Therapies.
I am so glad I found Donna! I’ve always struggled to find someone who is able to offer a really tailored massage to address my ongoing neck and back problems. My experience has often been that while the massage has been very relaxing, it hasn’t necessarily made much improvement to my aches and pains. That is not the case with Donna - yes I do come away blissfully relaxed - but mainly I love the fact she’s listened to where my discomfort is and worked hard to address these specific areas. Since I’ve been seeing her (almost 2 years) I’ve found my back is in a much better place and I don’t get the same level of pain and stiffness I used to get.
Had the most amazing Ultimate Hot Stone Zen treatment, any tension slipped away, the tidal wave was incredible. If you can treat yourself to 90 minutes of you time, this is perfect!
Donna is intuitive and sensitive and the massage is soo relaxing, it’s heaven. Also had some kind of trapped nerve and some strange sensations in my leg which Donna seemed to have fixed! Amazing!
Donna is a fantastic massage therapist. I have had many massages with Donna at her home studio. The space is so calming and I come out feeling incredibly relaxed, physically and mentally. Much needed, as I am a tired parent 🙂 She offers great value for money and is very easy to communicate with. Thank you Donna. Highly recommended!
