Why did you choose to study Massage Therapy?

In this day and age so many people suffer from the effects of a sedentary lifestyle, I thought learning a practical skillset such as Remedial Massage would be a great way to help people. Before studying Massage, my professional experience was in the Health and Fitness environment and studying massage offered me a chance to develop my skills in anatomy and physiology. My passion for learning about the human body comes from my passion for fitness and training as I have always done sports and constantly seek to improve my performance.

What conditions can Massage help with and what do you have a special interest in?

Massage therapy complements any injury rehabilitation treatment, training recovery, and injury prevention, and increases sporting performance. Massage is especially good for treating all kinds of conditions that are likely caused by soft tissue restrictions, like muscle tension headaches, back pain, different shoulder conditions like frozen shoulder, hip pain, neck pain, nerve entrapments like sciatica and so on.

My special interest is in sports-focused massage, the goal of which is to improve athletic performance with soft tissue therapy. I also like to focus on joint mobilisations, so my treatments help increase joint range of motion and assist with decreasing joint pain.
