Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist ITEC MISRM CNHC Reg.
I qualified in Massage Therapy in 2002 and then specialised in Sports & Remedial Massage and Massage in Pregnancy. In 2004 I joined the Exmouth Chiropractic Clinic. Since then I have been working alongside the Chiropractors and Spinal Rehabilitation Instructors to provide an integrated approach to the treatment of muscular-skeletal injuries. Working within the Chiropractic Clinic enabled me to grow professionally and to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of neck and lower back problems; areas which I now specialise in. My belief is that minor biomechanical changes which can be caused by numerous reasons are at the base of most muscular-skeletal injuries and often pain is not where the problem is.
I work with elite athletes as well as general members of the public. Each treatment is hugely different according to the need of the client at that given time ranging from treating a sports injury with advanced soft tissue techniques and stretching to giving the most relaxing deep tissue massage experience.
I am also a lecturer in Anatomy, Physiology and Sports & Remedial Massage. I set up The Massage Training School in order to provide higher qulity benchmarks for professional Diploma courses and Workshops for the South West. We are also one of the few training providers for the prestigious BTEC Professional Diploma (Level 5) in Clinical Sports & Remedial Massage.
My clinic was growing organically so in 2008 I expanded into new premises with a bigger and wider concept of integrated health care, pulling together the best practitioners in the South West to create The Massage Clinic in its present form where clients are looked after by a multidisciplinary team in a modern and cutting edge environment.
