Qualified in 1996 and since then continued to gain a wealth of experience of working with professional sports men and women including footballers, equestrian event riders, semi-professional netball teams, professional body-builders, tennis players, cyclists and long distance runners. I worked as the first team Massage Therapist attached to both the Essex Cricket Club between 2002 and 2012 and Brentwood Town Football Club between 2008 and 2011).
So, I have more than 20 years’ experience as a qualified ITEC Sports Therapist and I am a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) and continually learn and develop new healing and relaxation techniques.
Being a very keen golfer and distance runner myself, I completely understand the impact of being side-lined because of injury. I understand the overwhelming need to return to your sport but also understand that returning too quickly will ultimately keep you away longer than if you wait until things have had the chance to heal properly.
To understand better how injuries can sometimes happen, I have studied and also become certified as a level 3 Personal Trainer allowing me to provide my clients with tailor made programmes and can demonstrate the correct way of training in a safe and effective way.
