My Story
I know what it is like to have pain as part of daily life. This is why I specialise in the study and treatment of pain.
Throughout school I competed in athletics and team sports, and more recently have done lots of hilly cycling and tennis. I know how much skilled massage and simple exercises have helped me when I needed it. I have used that experience to learn more about what's happening in our tissues when we experience pain, and the options we have to change this.
I am a member of The Sports Therapy Association and a member of The Association of Soft Tissue Therapists
I complete training every year to keep up to date with best practice, and subscribe to the Better Clinician Project and Le Pub Scientific.

My Approach
I adapt each treatment to suit you on the day. I will listen to 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 explore with you the many factors at play and where you may be able to create change for the better, and help you along the path to increasing easier movement. It may not be a quick fix but change is possible.
