Hydrotherm’s John Holman
At its helm, Hydrotherm has one of the country’s most experienced therapists. With over 30 years experience in the UK massage industry, John Holman, Hydrotherm’s inventor, has contributed to the industry’s continued expansion and improvement.
John began his therapy career in 1990 graduating from the London College of massage and the London College of sports massage in 1992; this was followed by further qualifications in fitness training, weight lifting, Sports therapy, Holistic and Ayurvedic massage. He has paved the way for a more rational, compassionate understanding of massage for those with cancer.
Working with industry experts, friends, and colleagues, John has been instrumental in changing long misunderstood beliefs about massage for those with cancer. 2020 saw a real breakthrough with the launch of the Standards Authority for Touch in Cancer Care (SATCC) of which John is a founder board member and subject matter expert for the organisation.

John is also the director of massage at the game changing business The Massage Company, which is the first franchise model massage business in the UK. At TMC, John presides over all aspects of the massage treatment, as well as the training and ongoing development of all therapists.
He is responsible for the consistent delivery of high-volume, high-quality massages which, crucially, aim to look after the therapists as much as they do the client.
Last but not least, John has worked as a therapist for over 30 years and owns his own Oxfordshire-based massage clinic, Massage Matters which uses the Hydrotherm system in 100% of its treatments. The clinic prides itself in delivering high-quality, well-engineered treatments with a top level of anatomical rigour.
