I have trained, qualified and have been a client of Fire and Earth, so in a way I am a by product of all the good work that takes place at Fire and Earth. I recently qualified in 2023 with a Level 3 Sports Massage Diploma and have been learning and developing my technical skills.I have been shown with time, attention and frequent good practice Sports Massage is a great tool to combat pain and allow free movement. 

 

I have always been active in the more ‘unique’ sports like rock climbing/bouldering, skateboarding, surfing and a few martial arts. All of which have a recurring theme of repetitive strain injuries and general injury and without treatment these can be real setbacks. My interest in a more holistic approach and addressing ineffective biomechanics which can cause an increased likelihood of reinjury and taking the fun out of the sport. Especially if your favoured sport has a session window, you want to be ready at the start of the session. 

 

Massage also benefits the mind as well as the body. Helping to access parasympathetic states that help aid with digestion and recovery. I think this is an area that people can see as selfish, but having a dedicated period of time to relax without distraction is something that is hard to come by in the 21st Century. 

 

My aim is to keep people moving pain free and provide knowledge on injury prevention. Movement and sports can take you to new levels, let’s help you get there.
