A little bit about Derek:
In 2010 I started down a path to bring myself back from a position of poor health, poor mobility and lower back pain to a more healthy and active lifestyle. Along the road I studied lots and picked up some great tips on well-being, health and fitness. I put a huge amount of effort into my training and went from not being able to cycle 5k to cycling 500km from London to Amsterdam in 24 hours. It was an intervention that I did for a friend, to stave off an unnecessary carpel tunnel operation, that started the shift in my thinking and made me realize just how passionate I was about this industry, and a Sports Massage and Neuromuscular Therapy qualification duly followed. My background in Electrical, Mechanical, Construction, Mediation and Project Management served me well as science, listening, observation and problem solving is a huge part of the therapy work. The Anatomy in Motion (AiM), Finding Centre and the Flow motion Model course with Gary Ward and Chris Sritharan elevated my training to a much higher level and brought everything I had learned in the past together. Anatomy in Motion opens old pathways of movement that can help you to heal yourself, perfection is hard wired and sometimes we just need the right direction to open the door and shine light into the dark spaces. I wish I had known about this form of therapy years ago as it would have saved me a huge amount of time in my recovery. On the course I managed to unwind a huge amount of mobility based issues that were holding me back. It is the most amazing form of treatment I have ever come across and I am privileged to be able to offer it.
