Our bodies are amazing! But we often put ourselves through extra stresses and strains in everyday life that can cause us physical limitations. Sports massage therapy is a great way to keep your body working to the best of its ability!
A Therapist Who Cares
My mission is to help you recover and heal. I know how injuries feel having spent many years pounding my own body with training. I want you to leave your session feeling better, but my priority is your overall health. I will always strive to use the best skills and knowledge to get you to a fit and healthy place. Sometimes a combination of physiological treatments and holistic treatments add benefit to your recovery and, where needed, I can offer both.
Experienced Knowledge
My passion lies in getting to the root of the problem, creating solutions and acting on experience to offer you the best treatment and recovery. I have 17 years experience as a nurse in many areas of healthcare bringing additional knowledge to my massage therapy qualifications. I also provide myofascial cupping and functional assessments, deep tissue relaxation massage, Indian Head massage and many skills to treat your conditions.
WHO IS MD SPORTS MASSAGE & HOLISTIC THERAPY?
Qualifications & Background
Welcome! I'm Michelle. Having qualified as a registered nurse in 2009 I embarked initially on a nursing career undertaking roles within cardiology, gastroenterology, neurological rehabilitation and later working in substance misuse and clinical assessments for the DWP and an insurance company.
I have been a qualified sports massage therapist for over four years. Sports massage was initially a side interest due to an enthusiasm in anatomy and physiology and weight training. I decided to embark on a full time career in sports massage and additional therapies in May 2024, having worked part time for two years.
I work from my own home in a fully equipped and purposely allocated therapy room.
I am currently qualified to Level 5 in Sports Massage Therapy; the highest qualification in this profession. In addition, I have undertaken additional courses such as Dry Cupping therapy, Lower Back rehabilitation, Shoulder Complex treatment, Indian Head Massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Pregnancy Massage and Dermo-Neuro Modulation techniques.
