A fully insured, first-aid trained and CRB cleared graduate
of the Oxford School of Sports Massage (BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Clinical Sports and Remedial Massage Therapy) and a registered member of the Institute
of Sport & Remedial Massage and Sports Massage Association.
I am also a Certified Biomechanics Trainer, using proven functional techniques to screen for various dysfunctions that may not yet have caused any injury, to ensure proper operation and mobility of key joints, muscles and nerves to prevent issues developing.
As a Sports Coach with extensive experience of training Junior Great Britain Olympic Target Shooters to International honours, plus over 10 years as a Chinese Internal Martial Arts instructor, I have an in-depth understanding of the physical and mental needs of sports people (especially youngsters) and a detailed working knowledge of posture, balance, breathing and body mechanics. Integrating all of these disciplines - working with sports people and non-sports people alike - I therefore offer an amazingly powerful and comprehensive package of performance development, injury prevention and remedial & therapeutic disciplines.
I don’t just treat your immediate injury; I also try to determine the root cause and, if I can, help you to understand “why” it occurred and possibly reduce the likelihood of reoccurrence.??Specialisms include the Biomechanics of Injury Prevention (especially in young teenagers / adolescents) and also Mental Management Programmes.
If you have any postural pain or a shoulder, neck, back, hip, pelvis, knee, ankle (all of which are biomechanically linked) or any other musculoskeletal disorder or injury (or just body stress and tension) that you would like me to biomechanically assess, treat or just "loosen up" then please give me a call. I can also help with stretching routines and advice for people who engage in multiple sports. If you have consulted a Doctor, Osteopath, Chiropractor or Physiotherapist and have received a formal diagnosis, then I can also work alongside these practitioners to help deliver a unified rehabilitation programme.
I am fully portable, with full-length treatment table, neck and shoulder treatment table, towels, creams, bolsters etc. I can see people at Clubs, at my home or at yours. I will fit around you.
I run through a brief medical history and current state-of-health assessment prior to working with anyone for the first time, to ensure there are no obvious reasons why I should NOT be assessing or treating someone. I also require a signature from a parent of any under 16yo to say that you authorise examination and treatment - having first fully explained what I intend to do and why. All consultations are totally confidential and if treating an under 16, a parent or other responsible adult MUST be present at all times.
I am available to attend events in and around Surrey or the South East.
By way of example, I am currently working with teenagers to help rehabilitate a major wrist injury; a major knee injury and recurring hip/pelvis/lower back issues.
