Dedicated Care for Your Physical Foundation
Discover the story of Alleviate Therapeutic Massage Clinic, where my passion for wellness began and my commitment to your health continues.
About John Psaradakis (MTI &CNHC)
After building and running a successful practice in London, and spending over ten years teaching anatomy and mentoring the next generation of massage therapists, I decided it was time for a new chapter. Trading the rush of the capital for the countryside, I am absolutely loving my recent move to Wiltshire and settling into life in Melksham.
Over the course of my career, I’ve built 20 years of experience treating everyone from chronic pain sufferers to elite athletes—including working as part of a multidisciplinary team supporting Team GB 110m hurdler Julz Adeniran. Now, I am thrilled to bring that expertise to my new local community through my practice, Alleviate. Whether I'm working with clients at the clinic or out enjoying the beautiful Wiltshire scenery, my goal remains the same: providing bespoke, advanced bodywork designed to get your body moving freely and living without pain.
Testimonial
"Throughout my competitive running career, I’ve been treated by countless practitioners, but John remains my absolute first choice. His targeted work at Alleviate is an integral part of my routine—keeping my body maintained, rehabbed, and ready for competition. He perfectly balances top-tier professional expertise with a welcoming, personable approach that enables me to consistently perform at my highest level. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

My Philosophy of Care
Massage is as old as human civilization—from the very first instinct to rub a bumped knee to make it hurt less, we have always known that touch provides relief. My own journey into massage therapy began after a 15-year career in IT, so I know exactly the toll that long hours at a desk, combined with an active lifestyle, can take on your body.
As both a practitioner and an educator, my philosophy is simple: everything stems from a strong physical foundation. It is easy to chase complicated, trendy treatments, but the simple truth is that supporting your basic soft-tissue health is where the most lasting, meaningful results live. When you get the fundamentals right, everything else falls into place—and quite frankly, targeted massage is a fantastic way to get you there. When it comes to your care, I skip the generic spa routines. Every session starts with a quick, friendly chat and an assessment to understand exactly what is causing your discomfort. Using bespoke deep-tissue and remedial techniques tailored specifically to you, we will work together to manage stubborn tension, address your unique aches, and keep you moving comfortably.
The experience
When you arrive at Alleviate Therapeutic Massage inside City Fitness, you can expect a welcoming, adults-only environment focused entirely on your care, complete with convenient on-site parking. Before we begin any hands-on work, we will sit down for a brief, friendly chat to understand exactly what is causing your discomfort. Rather than relying on generic massage sequences, I tailor every therapeutic, deep tissue, and sports massage to your specific needs and movement patterns. My goal is to provide focused, hands-on therapy to manage your everyday aches, ease stubborn muscular tension, and ensure you leave moving comfortably and freely.
