With a background in competitive cycling and then powerlifting, I started my professional journey as a personal trainer back in 2015. Hungry for more knowledge I continued my studies and achieved a 1st class degree with Honours in ‘Sports Conditioning Rehabilitation and Massage’, allowing me to bridge the gap between a Massage Therapist and a Rehabilitation Practitioner. 

I worked alongside a Welsh semi-pro football team, providing pitch side first-aid, sports specific rehabilitation and pre/post event massages. As you can imagine I treated a lot of ankles, knees and hips! In more recent years I have applied my skills to a clinical setting, helping people of all backgrounds return to a pain free life.

There is nuance to being a Sports Therapist and we all need a different approach to achieve our goals, therefore I have no set massage routine; treatment is different for everyone. It’s about justifying the best techniques for you, for your presentation, at the current time. Then, finding ways to challenge movement patterns for a more capable and stronger body. It’s for this reason I qualified as a Biomechanical Specialist, to further my understanding of movement, posture and limitations.

I think critically about function and how that influences the way we move - what structures are compromised, why there is pain and how to get moving better. I want people to walk out feeling looked after, in less pain, and perhaps a little more wise to their own body.
