ABOUT US

Fortis Mane Sports Therapy, originally known as Jo Heseltine Sports Therapist was established in 2017 offering mobile sports massages. In 2018 a small room was acquired, located in the Old Town of Bridlington, which allowed me to focus on prevention of injury and rehabilitation.


In 2020, a rebranding was needed alongside relocating to a larger premises which enabled me to expand my services and treatments offered to the public.


From the meaning 'be strong' in our ancestral language the Latin name was born...'Fortis Mane'.

"Went to see Jo for first time 3 weeks ago as I have arthritis in top of my neck, after Jo had worked her magic I could move my neck more easily and now have just had 3rd treatment and the difference is amazing! I'm sleeping at night and can move my neck without pain. I cant thank Jo enough and would highly recommend her."
