When I was 18 I was in a car crash that left me with whiplash. A few years later, the changes that developed in my cervical spine (neck) caused me such great pain that I had to stop exercising and could not continue my desk job. Every area of my life was soon affected and the tablets the doctor prescribed were not helping. He referred me for x-rays that (worryingly) came back normal. After 4 months of agony, he tried to prescribe me antidepressants. I knew I would not appear depressed if I was not suffering chronic pain so I opted to say no to drugs and look for help elsewhere. I sought help from a Chiropractor who showed me on the x-rays how my spine had lost its curve and explained what effect this was having on me. She advised me to find a sports massage therapist to treat the soft tissue (muscles, tendons and ligaments) alongside her chiropractic treatments for a positive long term result. Not only was I back to work, exercise and my old life in under two months, I learnt how to move, tone and stretch to ensure my problems did not come back. During my treatments I found myself asking a lot of questions. I already had a GNVQ Advanced worth two A Levels in Health and Social care which covered physiology and Anatomy so it wasn’t much of a jump to change careers from debt collection to Sports Massage. Now, 6 years later, I still have all the same enthusiasm I had when I first started with the addition of 6 years experience behind me. Every client gives me a great sense of job satisfaction as I evaluate their needs and deliver accordingly. I have helped people who are having or have had osteopathy or chiropractic treatment for back problems, sufferers of sciatica, headaches, shoulder joint problems, numbness in the extremities, hip pain, tight gluteals, problems and changes after pregnancy / childbirth. I also help people with stress related ailments who wear their shoulders around their ears, cannot sleep, are prone to irritability, have digestive problems, high blood pressure, depression and many more ailments besides. My client base consists of champion Thai boxers, club and marathon runners, cyclists, body builders, football players, office workers and directors, trades people, retired people, mothers, those wanting to relax and indulge, and many many more. There really is something for everyone here. My aim is to get everybody to a point where they know how to prevent their problem from coming back on their own and can use me for maintenance as and when they like. To make my services accessible to all I keep my rates competitive and have many offers running. To see which offers best suit you please see rates and offers. ![]()
