Georgia (Basildon Resident Review)
“I had an incredible assisted stretch session with John that provided immediate relief for my chronic neck pain. He conducted a detailed assessment to understand my concerns and guided the entire session with clear explanations, ensuring I felt at ease. The therapy room was inviting and added to the overall relaxing experience. After just one session, I noticed significant improvement and am excited to continue with future sessions!”

Emma (Hockley Resident Review)
“Can highly recommend for a sports massage! Even in just a short 30m session with John he was very attentive and I feel great. As a first-timer I was expecting to feel a little anxious but this wasn’t an issue at all, very relaxing and welcoming environment and John explained everything thoroughly and was truly faultless. Definitely will be returning and having regular sessions from now on as I had a really good experience.”
Ian
“John is a pro! Constantly let me know what he was doing and we always had an open dialogue as to how my body was feeling and reacting to the stretch/ massage. He was able to tailor a personalised stretch and massage for me that really focused on my trouble areas. Will certainly be going back to continue to work on pliability with him. Thanks so much!“
Megan
“Had my first session with John and it was unbelievable!
At first I wasn’t sure if I needed a deep tissue massage as well as a stretching session but John went through everything from head to toe, and gave his recommendation whilst he was doing my assessment! Also gave me exercises to help maintain what I want to achieve. We spent the hour doing a stretch session and I 100% recommend this to anyone, I didn’t know I had that much flexibility and mobility!
I will definitely be coming back as John made me feel at ease and I know I can reach my goal with John’s assistance”
Stephen
“Went with rota cuff and neck pain after trying a number of different fixes. I have to say that I am more than impressed. The knowledge and attention to detail is far beyond my expectations. Having just completed my first session, I have already booked my next. It is a pleasure to deal with someone who knows exactly what you are describing, and more importantly, what the fix needs to be. Very pleasantly surprised and cannot recommend highly enough “
Tracy
“I have a hip injury that has caused me pain for many years. Went to a chiropractor which helped straighten me up but the rehab side was painful and aggressive. Coming to see John is a completely different experience. There is no forcing things to the point of unbearable, he is very knowledgeable and helps you understand what is going on in terms that means something to you. After just one week, my range and strength of movement has already improved. The exercises he has given me are realistic to do and fit in and I understand exactly how they are helping me. I can finally get a full night’s sleep without pain and that’s after one week, I am very optimistic for my journey ahead. I can’t recommend highly enough.“
Ian
“I really enjoyed my Assisted Stretching session. John uses a simple points system between 5 and 7 to ensure you are completely comfortable on the table. That means you feel completely in control of how much pressure is applied and John is always communicating with you to check where your 5 and 6 is, before very skilfully pushing you a little bit more to reach what is a comfortable but little bit more demanding 7. Great session! I live in London but I intend to return when I’m back in Essex.“
Eileen
“I’m very pleased to post my five star review of Ultra massage and stretch.
I’m at the beginning of a journey with Assisted Stretching with the extremely competent John Martin.
Having tried Assisted Stretching once before (abroad) I was delighted to be able to continue it here. I hadn’t anticipated that John’s Assisted Stretching would be so superior. It’s both beneficial and relaxing as John never goes beyond your natural flexibility and constantly makes minute adjustments maximising your ability to relax into the stretches.
The relaxation element is immediately noticeable and I can foresee extending my home practice into a form of meditation.
Thank you so much John.“
Bernard
“First joint session – we had experienced Stretch in Japan, and John’s session easily exceeded our expectations. We initially had a detailed discussion of what each of us were looking for, then individual therapy sessions. John gives a detailed running explanation of the treatments and our individual strengths and weaknesses. We discussed the best way for each of us to take forward our differing needs. We were highly impressed with the result and will certainly be revisiting.“
Joseph
“Booked a deep tissue massage, arrived at a lovely setting and greeted by John at the door, very professional and knowledgeable.
We went through some history and filled forms in etc (which doesn’t eat into your booking slot, as the time starts once you’re on the table) which was nice.
I’ve wanted a deep tissue massage for a long time and always hoped I’d like it, which I did. John also showed me some stretches and exercises at the end which would build strength around my problem areas.
It relieved some aches and discomforts instantly and felt nice and loose afterward, walked out feeling 2 inches taller.
Highly recommend.”
George (Hawkwell Resident review)
“I had an amazing sports massage and some well needed stretching of my shoulders with John after a tiring week. After a thorough consultation, telling John about the surgery I have had on both shoulders, he got to work and provided an amazing service. I have always been apprehensive about people moving my arms around due to recurring dislocations, but John was extremely diligent, and I felt completely comfortable throughout. He has given me some well needed guidance in rehabbing my injuries, and I look forward to our next session. I can not recommend him enough.”
What Our Clients Have to say

Here’s what our massage and stretching sessions did for them!
Maxine Jupe
I’m a grandmother of four and I suffer from aching muscles and stiff joints. I started having regular massage and stretch sessions at Ultra, and I can’t believe the difference they’ve made. I feel more flexible, energised, and less pain. John, my therapist, is very professional, courteous, and attentive to my needs. He always makes me feel comfortable and relaxed.
Brian Smith
After a few sessions of assisted stretching and massage, my legs felt lighter, my swing improved, and my score dropped.
John, my therapist, is very knowledgeable, friendly, and skilled, and he tailored the sessions to my specific goals.
I would encourage anyone who loves golf to get a massage and assisted stretch session at Ultra.
