JOB TITLE:
Sports Injury Therapist

JOB DESCRIPTION:
Treating Post-Acute muscular injuries using various massage techniques, either gentle or deep tissue massage where and when necessary. A beneficial treatment for non sport related injuries.

EXPERIENCE:
I have been working in various locations since October 2005, treating a variety of injuries, ranging from ankles, muscular stiffness in legs, back and shoulders on sportsmen and women of varying levels of fitness to help them recover from their injuries.

I've also worked with Essex Country Cricket Club to help a selection of 1st team players recover from muscle fatigue, suffered during the competitive nature of the sport.

QUALIFICATIONS:
After 12 months of intensive studying I qualified from Nature Care College of Complimentary Therapists. Both diplomas are recognised internationally by the Sports Massage Association. I also specialise in massage for pregnant mums.

Treatment Aims:
I have enjoyed many years exercising and keeping fit. Unfortunately I have also spent occasions on a treatment couch due to injury and therefore know just how frustrating it is when you are restricted from enjoying your sporting activities.
Having a full understanding of what it is like to recover from muscular injuries, I aim to get you “back on your feet” as soon as possible using Sports Massage and joint mobility techniques to aid your recovery process.
Taking into consideration your everyday activities, including your working routine and social activities (exercise and hobbies), I will concentrate on your muscular problems by manipulating the soft tissue areas using gentle massage techniques and progressing to deeper tissue massage to encourage blood flow and in-turn regaining the suppleness and tone back into the muscle tissue. THE MORE SUPPLE THE MUSCLE - THE MORE EFFECTIVE YOUR EXERCISE REGIME WILL BE.

WHO IS IT FOR?:
Everyone - you do not have to be an Olympic Athlete to be treated by me. A lot of people think that a Sports Massage Therapist is a therapist that treat injuries only. In fact you can see Sports Massage Therapy as part of your exercise regime to aid the flexibility and to enhance your physical performance. People of all ages can benefit from Sports Massage, not only to treat aches and pains, but also to relax.



BODY CONTROL PILATES®
I am also a fully qualified Body Control Pilates® teacher. Teaching small group classes to help improve core strength and flexibility.

My classes are kept very small, maximum of 10. In Writtle, Chelmsford, maximum of 6 so that I can keep a close eye on eveyone attending to make sure you get the maximum effect from the Pilates exercises.

WHERE TO FIND ME:
Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing Centre, Chelmsford
