High Quality Sports Massage Therapy in Stroud, Gloucestershire
10 years ago, I had a complete change of career, moving from Restaurant Chef to Sports Massage Therapist. Quite honestly, going back to University full time to become a Physiotherapist wasn’t an option for me at the time, with a young family and bills to pay.
So, after qualifying at Level 5 Sports Massage, I have continued to grow my specialist skills alongside getting valuable work experience in the world of soft tissue therapy, fitness and the human body. I have been consistent in expanding my tool box of skills throughout the last 10 years, keeping up to date with scientific and medical advances that affect this industry.
When I turned 40, I wanted to do something memorable, so I ran my first marathon. Crossing the finish line in London was the start of a burning passion for running, which lasted over 10 years and amassed a whole album of finish line photos.
I knew that running was a repetitive and high impact sport, so in 2022, I started training for Triathlon, the type of race that encompasses swim, bike and run within the same race. It has significantly reduced the levels of stress on my body and I am much happier in my sport for longer periods now.
My journey as a runner, and now a triathlete, has taught me the importance of maintaining physical fitness, preventing injuries and effective recovery. This firsthand knowledge fuels my commitment to work together with my clients and empower them to succeed in overcoming their injuries and achieving their personal goals.
The experience I can bring to a session, and my passion for this subject, is reflected in the number of extracurricular courses, webinars and blogs that I participate in. Always trying to improve my current knowledge levels, I have a long list of certificates, which you can see below.
