I hold a diploma in therapeutic, sports & advanced remedial massage, hyperton-x, electrotherapy & currently studying for a diploma in treatment of musculoskelatal conditions with the freedom from pain institute.

My interest in massage therapy stemmed from my own experience of successful treatment for severe nerve impingement which seriously affected all aspects of everyday life, a few treatments cured a problem that had been plaguing me for months, and inspired me to change career and train to devlop the type off skills that helped me so i could pass on assistance to others in similar situations.

I have been in the industry for about 12 years now and during that time have treated several professional sportsmen , as well as amateur athletes competing at a high level , this experience in assisting people   with soft tissue , tendon and ligament  injuries , and also using stretching and mobilisation techniques in the rehabilitation after injury has helped me in my continuous learning process of restoring function and mobility in individuals who have suffered an injury or restrictive condition  .

This method of treatment has proved very effective in treating everyday conditions such as sciatic impingement,frozen shoulder, joint problems , muscle strains and tears & tendon and ligament conditions , with the goal of trying to help the client regain normal function and optimum mobility so they can get back to everyday life without pain or restricted movement

I’m a Remedial Massage and Sport Therapist. I’m an affiliated member of Scottish Massage Therpaist Organisation (SMTO). Being a fitness instructor as well helps me in prescribing exercises depending on the client’s needs. Alongside Sport Therapy certificate I also completed my professional training from World Massage Federation qualifying me to perform stages 1 & 2 of Classical Therapeutic Massage, Relaxation, Swedish, Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, Lymphatic drainage and various styles of relaxing treatments like Hot Stones, Chinese Cupping.

In everday practice my goal is to help clients by easing their aches and pains using various techniques available. I apply Muscle Energy Technique, Positional Release Technique, Trigger Point therapy, Cupping, Soft Tissue Release and combine them to treat various musculoskeletal issues. I always look at the client holistically and the treatment is tailored individually. I believe massage is not only medicine for sore muscles but it has a huge impact on reducing the level of stress which is one of the biggest factors in causing illness. My passion is getting to the root of the problem and eliminating it, simple but that’s all we need.
