With eight years of clinical experience in sports and remedial massage and over 20 years as a tennis coach, my goal is simple: to get you out of pain, restore muscle resting length, improve your mobility, and keep you performing at your best. I don’t just treat the symptoms; I look for the root cause of your physical dysfunction to build a treatment plan that works for you.

Sports and remedial massage

I specialise in treating sports injuries, frequently working alongside the rehabilitation programmes provided by physiotherapists. By complementing their clinical work with targeted remedial massage, I help clients bridge the gap between initial injury recovery and returning to full physical performance.

Specialist scar tissue therapy

In addition to deep tissue and remedial work, I am a certified Scar Tissue Practitioner. Surgical scars can create hidden restrictions and chronic pain long after the initial healing phase. I work to restore mobility, reduce discomfort, and improve tissue health around major surgical sites, including C-section scars, ACL repairs and hip replacements.

I bring practical, lived experience to my work. As a tennis and padel coach, a regular gym-goer, and a working dad juggling demanding physical jobs, I am constantly learning about my own body and how it adapts to the challenging environments I put it in.

I understand firsthand what it takes to recover from heavy training sessions, manage the physical toll of parenthood, and keep the body moving efficiently week after week. Whether you are an athlete seeking peak performance, recovering from major surgery, or simply dealing with the daily wear and tear of life, my treatments utilise a combination of deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, and advanced remedial techniques to help you recover, get you back to performing at your best and be ready for whatever life throws at you.
