Trained at NLSSM, London. Fully qualified practitioner and member of The Sports Massage Association. Trained at NLSSM - North London School of Sports Massage. As a professional dancer and choreographer, I know the trials and tribulations of maintaining optimum health and fitness. It can be the most frustrating thing in the world to be unable to do, pain-free, what used to be effortless. Knowing th
is battle of body maintenance and fending off injury, and having - throughout my career in dance and in my wider experience of illness and dysfunction - seen the benefits of massage in rehabilitating and preventing injury and reducing symptoms and pain, I sought to train in Sports And Remedial Massage Therapy at the highly regarded North London School of Sports Massage (NLSSM). I have worked with runners, cyclists, field athletes, dancers, aerial artists, actors, puppeteers, musicians, singers, arthritis sufferers and those simply wanting to reduce stress levels and offer their body a regular dose of care and attention for their overall improved well-being. Soft Tissue Therapy can help in a multitude of contexts and can be of great benefit to a lot of people! Just some of the ways in which sports and remedial massage could benefit you:
Preparation for competitions, events and performances
Pre- and post-event treatments
Rehabilitation from injury
Prevention of injury and body maintenance throughout training
Optimising sporting/athletic performance
Post-surgery recovery and rehabilitation
Addressing postural and bio-mechanical dysfunction
Stress relief and reduction in anxiety
Restoring and developing proprioception
Restoring range of motion and flexibility
Improvement to lymphatic system and fluid exchange
Aiding digestive complaints
Pain relief and management
Optimising health of soft tissue and the musculoskeletal system
Reducing symptoms of arthritis
Rebalancing of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
Every good soft tissue therapist will listen carefully to your needs and reasons for seeking treatment - they vary a lot! There is no one-size-fits-all way to manage a specific complaint, injury, condition or dysfunction. In order to tailor your treatment to suit your goals, treatment includes a range of assessment and planning, including appropriate home care advice and exercises to help you continue improvement and maintain the benefits of treatment beyond the clinic.
