My Story

I provide skilled massage in Lewes, East Sussex, for people with muscular aches and pain and structured, practical help for people living with persistent pain.  I have used massage to help friends and family with their muscle aches since I was a teenager and for many years have been fascinated in how pain is affected by more that what's happening in your tissues.   I keep up to date with best practice, subscribe to the Better Clinician Project and and Le Pub Scientific​, and am a member of The Sports Therapy Association.

My Approach

In the first treatment I take a detailed case history and hear from you what you want help with and what approach works for you.  We will agree your treatment for that day and as well as a wonderful massage, I will probably give you some simple exercises to do at home.

 

For people who experience persistent pain I will also introduce you to  the science of pain, the many factors at play when we hurt for a long time which offer opportunities to create some change.  It isn't a quick fix but change is possible. Here are some resources you might find useful:
