I studied sports massage with a course accredited by the Sports Massage Association (SMA) and have been a full member of this organisation as well as the Institute of Sports & Remedial Massage (ISRM) since qualifying in 2007.  I really enjoy making people feel good about themselves and love seeing people leave my room with a smile on their face and a spring in their step.  I recently moved back to Chedworth and have set up a treatment room in my house.

I specialise in injuries sustained from the more extreme sports (hence the name).  I feel that as I take part in many of these sports I am in a better position to be able to tailor a recovery treatment.  Knowing what was being done when the injury was sustained, what stance is held and which muscles are used means the  treatment can be more beneficial, allowing you to get back to what you love doing as quickly as possible.

Massage is a natural therapy with roots back to the beginning of humankind.  We all know that massage works on an injury as our instinct when we've hurt somewhere is to rub it.  Regular full body massages help prevent injury occurring  by maintaining flexibility and  suppleness of the muscles.

How does sports massage differ from Swedish massage?                                                                                                                 Sports massage is rapidly growing using advanced techniques to prevent and manage injuries sustained during sports and active recreation.   It doesn't just work on the muscles, it also works on the tendons and ligaments by getting deep into the muscle fibres, enabling the body to realise the issue and begin the healing process.
