The Jing Method™ of Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage is a ground-breaking approach to treating chronic pain — designed and developed by Jing Institute founders Rachel Fairweather and Meghan Mari. At its heart, the method is a unique fusion of the most effective soft tissue techniques from both East and West, including myofascial release, trigger point therapy, acupressure and advanced stretching.
This outcome-based system is designed to help clients find real, lasting relief from a wide range of chronic musculoskeletal issues – from back pain and sciatica, to frozen shoulder, migraines, and systemic conditions like fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis.
More than just massage, the Jing Method™ is a collaborative journey between therapist and client. Working together over a structured six-session plan, the aim is always the same: reduce pain, restore movement, and empower people to take control of their health.
Blending cutting-edge neuroscience with a heart-centred, biopsychosocial approach, the Jing Method™ is transforming lives — and reshaping the future of massage therapy in the UK.
And we teach you how to work smarter with body mechanics when giving treatments – saving wear and tear on your own body.
When you book a session with a therapist trained in The Jing Method™, you’re entering into a supportive, heart-centred partnership focused on helping you move out of pain and into possibility.
You can expect:
A warm, compassionate massage therapist who listens to your story and works with you to achieve real results
A full pre-treatment consultation, often via phone or video call
A personalised treatment plan focused on reducing your pain in six sessions or fewer
A 45-minute hands-on treatment using advanced techniques such as fascial work, trigger point therapy, acupressure and stretching
Reassessment after treatment to track your progress and adjust your plan as needed
Tailored aftercare including stretches, strengthening exercises and mindfulness practices to support your healing
Whether you’re dealing with chronic back pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, whiplash, or long-term injury, the Jing Method™ offers an integrated, empowering approach to recovery – one that recognises both your physical and emotional needs.
Jing Institute’s BTEC Level 6 in Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage is the highest-level massage qualification in the UK, and it’s been revolutionising the industry for for than 20 years.
Written and led by Rachel and Meghan, this award-winning programme is designed to empower massage therapists with the advanced skills, confidence and knowledge to effectively treat chronic pain and complex conditions using the Jing Method™. But it doesn’t stop there.
Each year, our BTEC 6 graduates carry out original, real-world research into the effectiveness of massage therapy. This body of work is building an ever-growing pool of evidence that proves what we’ve always known: massage works.
From case studies on fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s and perimenopause, to research on TMJ syndrome, depression, sciatica and more, our students are making a meaningful contribution to the field of complementary healthcare. Their work not only deepens our collective understanding, it makes Jing a recognised research centre and thought leader within the bodywork community.
This is more than education. It’s a movement – raising the standard of massage therapy and helping to shape the future of integrative, evidence-informed care.
