I hold diplomas and certifications in the Hendrickson method, remedial massage therapy, sports massage, sport and exercise science, personal training, nutrition and exercise referral. These qualifications provide me with a great insight into the human body's anatomy and physiology, performance and recovery. Massage Therapy
For thousands of years massage therapy has been used for its therapeutic a
nd healing effects on the body. While it has not always been understood why massage worked, the positive results were recognised and appreciated. From the relief of musculoskeletal pain to the treatment of a wide range of orthopaedic conditions and ailments, massage has proven itself an effective tool for medicinal healing and general body maintenance. Modern advances in science and medicine have brought with them a better understanding of how and why massage works. A better understanding of the biomechanics of the body has also brought important advances in massage itself. This increased knowledge has allowed for the refinement of existing techniques and has allowed development of new approaches. Today, massage has again entered the medical mainstream and is seen by many as an important addition to qualified medical treatment. I am a member of the CNHC (The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council,
