About
Here at Waves Sports Massage Therapy my aim to to keep you moving freely and pain free.
Sports and remedial massage – Also known as soft tissue therapy, requires an in-depth anatomy and physiology knowledge and involves an understanding of range of movement. The massage element basically consists of deep tissue techniques, plus some others such as myofascial release. In addition, I use a range of other techniques that help to target problem areas, particularly various types of stretches to stretch and relax muscles, help to tackle fibrotic tissues and potentially improve posture. These stretches include soft tissue release, post-isometric relaxation, reciprocal inhibition and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). These all sound very technical, but basically they each have a slightly different approach, often involving the neurological receptors in the muscles.

I have gathered extensive sports and remedial therapy experience in home, clinic and sporting environments. All my treatments are bespoke and use a variety of different techniques to suit your individual needs.
I'm an ex-member of the Parachute Regiment and have worked as an instructor/mentor at the UK survival school. More recently a founder member or Northstar Adventures a charity supporting to help young adults to build their life skills through the medium of sport and nature. My past experience in the military gave me understanding of the strain, pressures and exertions we can put on our bodies and how far we can push ourselves.
Recently I have felt I had more to offer and decided to retrain to help people through the medium of massage. Callisthenics and balancing have helped gain a deeper understanding of the body’s mobility, stretches and relaxation.
I work with a number of sporting groups a number of which I take part in from Gig Rowing to Freediving.
AdditionIy in the research and development for Waves Massage the knowledge of anatomy and physiology and treatment modalities to support soft tissue repair help me to give practical and informed advice when needed.
