Welcome to Cotswolds Sports & Soft Tissue Massage
My aim is to assist in treating both sport and non-sport specific injuries as well as helping with injury prevention and aiding with recovery. This is done by using a targeted approach with movement focusing on the muscles that are injured, healing or in need of relief.
​
You do not need to be a sports person to benefit from a sports massage.
​
I operate as a mobile therapist so can provide treatments in the comfort of your own home or workspace.
How can a sports and soft tissue massage help you?
In my opinion, the difference between conducting a tennis serve or throwing a ball for a dog, is very minimal. It uses the same muscle groups and can lead to similar types of injury. Whether you injure your back by completing a weighted deadlift or by putting on your socks in the morning, a sport massage can help with your recovery and aid with injury prevention for the future.

Who I Am and What I Do
My Background
I undertook my Level 3 sports massage diploma at the Cotswold Academy in Cirencester in January 2023.
​
I am advanced first aid trained and a fully insured member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT).
I studied Sports Coaching and Physical Education at The University of Chichester where I achieved mt BA(Hons) in this subject. My dissertation was based on the mental placebo effect of isotonic sports drinks upon maximal performance which I gained a first class in and a 2:1 overall.
​
For the past 10 years I have worked within the policing world covering various roles within the police which is still my full time job.
​
I have competed in a variety of competative sports over the years, but most notably as a competative skier where I represented my university, gaining full colours, sponsorship and becoming the president of the ski and snowboard club at the University of Chichester, alongside the race and freestyle team captain.
​
My previous sporting experiences and day to day role, has led me to get various treatment over the years, which grew my interest in the area.
​
I still enjoy taking part in sport whenever possible, cyling, skiing, playing golf and hiking with my fiance and dog in the mountains.
