Ema Gregory-Scott IIHNT, ACMT, Level 6 Clinical/Sports Massage Degree.
"I am a specialist in chronic pain relief and pregnancy massage. In 25 years of practice I have come to believe that lasting pain relief requires treating the whole person, not just the symptom. Every treatment I give is tailored specifically to you."
Hello, I am Ema Gregory-Scott, owner and sole therapist at Warrington Pain Clinic. I am a specialist in chronic pain relief and pregnancy massage, with 25 years of hands-on clinical experience.
Among a small number of therapists in the UK to hold a BTEC Level 6 in Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage, the highest massage qualification available in the country, I bring a level of clinical knowledge and expertise to every treatment that is genuinely rare.
I trained extensively with Jing Advanced Massage Training, completing 13 specialist clinical courses before achieving the full Level 6 with Distinction Honours. I am also trained by IIHHT, ITEC and VTCT, three of the most respected qualification bodies in the UK.

My Story. Why I Do What I Do.
I have been in pain myself. From shoulder problems as a child, to hip and pelvic pain through my own pregnancies, to going through a major procedure more recently. I understand what it feels like to live with pain, to try different things, to not always find the right help. That personal experience shapes everything I do.
Reflexology was my first love, 25 years ago. I used to treat my grandmother with it because she was someone who found it almost impossible to relax. Just taking her socks off and working on her feet made a real difference. That taught me something I still believe deeply today. You cannot just go straight into the pain. You have to calm the nervous system first. When the body feels safe and relaxed, pain releases so much more effectively. Sometimes that happens in minutes. Sometimes it takes a whole session before someone is ready to let go.
Pregnancy massage became a specialism close to my heart because of my own experience. When I was pregnant I could not find anyone in Warrington with the right skills. I had to travel to Liverpool. That stayed with me. I went on to research pregnancy pain deeply, working closely one to one with midwives and building connections across the region. My Level 6 Distinction dissertation was on pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy. I do not just understand the pain. I understand everything that can happen during pregnancy, when it is safe to treat and when someone needs to be referred back to their doctor or midwife.
I do this job because I know I can help. Not always completely, and not always alone. There are times when the right thing is to refer someone to their GP, their chiropractor or another specialist. But most of the time I can make a real difference, and helping someone understand their own body and how to look after it between sessions is just as important to me as the treatment itself.
My Approach
My approach is rooted in the biopsychosocial model, which means I look at the whole person, not just the area that hurts. Pain is rarely as simple as "something is wrong with your back." It is shaped by your posture, your history, your stress levels, your movement patterns and much more.
I use advanced clinical techniques to get to the root cause of your pain rather than simply treating the symptoms. Most clients feel a significant difference within one to three sessions.
🔍 Assessment first
Every treatment begins with a thorough orthopaedic assessment so nothing is guesswork. I find the root cause before I treat it.
🎯 Root cause not symptoms
I use advanced techniques including myofascial release, trigger point therapy, soft tissue release and deep tissue work to address what is actually causing your pain.
🤝 Self care and exercises
Your care does not end when you leave the treatment room. I give you personalised self-massage tips, postural advice, sleep guidance and rehab exercises to support your recovery between sessions. Self care videos are also coming soon.
💚 Holistic
In 25 years of practice I have come to believe that to truly let go of pain, the mind and body both need to be addressed. I always adapt to your needs on the day.

💆 Chronic Pain Relief
My core specialism is treating people in chronic pain who have often tried everything else.

I hold specialist Jing certification in TMJ, face, headache and jaw pain, a complex area that many therapists are not trained to treat. Clients who have suffered for years with migraines and jaw pain often find significant relief after just a few sessions. Find out more

Why Choose Clinical Massage Over Physio or Chiropractic?
This is a question I get asked a lot and it is a really good one. Physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths are all skilled practitioners and there are times when they are exactly the right choice. But for many people in chronic pain, advanced clinical massage offers something different.
🔍 Full assessment every time
Every session begins with a thorough orthopaedic assessment, followed by dedicated advanced hands-on soft tissue treatment, personalised self care advice and take home exercises. You get the complete picture every time, not just part of it.
🦴 Soft tissue is where chronic pain lives
Chiropractors focus primarily on the spine and joints. Physios focus on movement and rehabilitation. I specialise in the muscles, fascia and soft tissue, which is very often where chronic pain actually originates, even when it feels like a joint or bone problem.
🙌 No cracking or manipulation
My approach is entirely hands-on soft tissue work. There are no spinal adjustments or high velocity manipulations. Many clients come to me specifically because they are uncomfortable with chiropractic cracking but still want effective hands-on treatment.
👤 Same therapist every time
You see me personally at every appointment. I build a detailed picture of your body over time, which makes each treatment more effective than the last. You are never passed between different practitioners.
🔄 Complement not compete
Clinical massage works brilliantly alongside other treatments. Many of my clients also see physios or osteopaths and find that adding clinical massage significantly accelerates their recovery. I am happy to work alongside your existing healthcare team and will always refer you on where appropriate.
📆 Available this week
NHS physiotherapy waiting lists can be many months long. I typically have appointments available within days. You can book online right now and be seen this week.
Still not sure which treatment is right for you? WhatsApp me and I will be happy to advise honestly, even if that means recommending someone else.
