 Barbara Rowell

I qualified as a Sports Therapist in 1997, I have a diploma with The International Institute of Sports Therapy (Dip.IIST) and I am an affiliated member of The Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT)

As a Sports Therapist, I love nothing more than seeing a client leave the treatment room whose pain has been relieved as a result of my treatment. Over the past 17 years, I have worked on all sorts of injuries and musculoskeletal discomfort, applying a range of therapies that I carefully select and tailor for each client’s needs. This typically includes a combination of hands on treatment, exercises and education.

I greatly enjoy the problem solving aspect of my work, always striving to get to the root of the problem so it can be effectively managed. I find spending time with my clients, getting to know their story and ambitions helps me to develop a logical rehabilitation program.

My love of sport and outdoor pursuits has given me a particular insight into numerous sports injuries. Through doing, I have gained significant experience in the bio mechanics of different sports such as running, cycling, rock climbing, surfing, badminton and squash. During my career, I have had experience treating a range of amateur and professional sports people, including footballers, rugby players, cyclists, horse riders, runners, volleyball and racket sport players.

I also have experience working with clients who have back, neck, shoulder, hip, leg and general musculoskeletal discomfort. Amongst other causes, these conditions can be triggered by stress, poor posture, work related conditions or accidents. Using therapies such as Sports and Remedial massage, Swedish massage, Hot stone therapy, Ultrasound, Kinesiotaping, Rehabilitation and Fitness instruction, I help my clients overcome their pain and learn how to stop this from happening again.

Andy Macdonald

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
