Wellbeing and Recovery Massage

Wellbeing and Recovery Massage Assessment / treatment of muscular skeletal injury, Sports Therapy, Chinese therapy, pain management

I am a Injury Rehabilitation and Sports Therapist, I assess and treat muscular skeletal pain and injury, member of the Institute of Sports and Remedial Massage, strength and conditioning coach and instructor in the Kung Fu system of Southern Chow Gar Praying Mantis. I also help people with wellbeing using evidence based breath work and mindful movement in clinic and at events. I have enjoyed professional development in chronic pain management, injury rehabilitation and Breathing pattern disorder work and a Sports Rehabilitation and SportsTherapy BSc (Hons)

I am interested in and study pain management of long term chronic conditions, rehabilitation and strength training for all abilities. My hope is that everyone leaving my clinic is stronger and more empowered. About a year into my initial martial arts training I was involved in a car accident, my Kung Fu instructor used Chinese Massage/joint rehab, pain reduction and strength training. With this combination I overcame my injuries and restricted neck movement. Since then and over 20 years later I am pain free and continue professional development, enjoying my work with the civil service and other organisations, assessing and treating muscular skeletal injuries. My 10 year background and previous career delivering and developing cognitive behavioural therapy programmes, I believe has helped me to understand better how to help others. My goal is to help others become happier, healthier, empowered and stronger versions of themselves.

“Woke up with a stiff neck, tension in your shoulders, or a nagging base-of-skull ache? You’re not alone.”Here’s the har...
17/10/2025

“Woke up with a stiff neck, tension in your shoulders, or a nagging base-of-skull ache? You’re not alone.”

Here’s the hard truth:
• Around 4.9% of people in the UK have neck pain at any given time, and up to 50% will experience it in a year.
• Two-thirds of us now deal with monthly back or neck tension — and most don’t realize it can spiral.

Why this matters:
— Poor posture, stress, and long hours at a desk or phone load tension into the neck & shoulders.
— The more it lingers, the harder it is to fully shake off (up to 65% of people have repeat episodes).
— This isn’t “just discomfort” — it can disturb sleep, mood, focus, and movement.

3 Simple Moves You Can Do Right Now
1. Micro-break posture resets — every 30 minutes: roll your shoulders back, tuck the chin slightly, breathe deep.
2. Gentle neck mobility — slow side-to-side turns, ear-to-shoulder tilts (never force it).
3. Heat + light massage — 5 minutes using a hot water bottle or self-massage along the trapezius and skull base.

These habits help prevent stiffness turning into something more stubborn.

But if your pain is creeping in more often — or you feel “stuck” in stiffness — your body is telling you something.

As your local sports therapist & wellbeing coach in Plymouth, I can help restore your full, pain-free movement.
My approach = evidence-based manual therapy + movement coaching, so you not only feel better — you stay better.

💬 To explore whether this is mere tension or a deeper issue, DM “NECK” or call me now.

You deserve to move freely, pain-free.

Your body and mind heal together. Today’s a reminder that looking after one can support the other — and you deserve both. Evidence shows that moving your body and gentle, hands-on therapies can help reduce tension, anxiety and stress, boost mood, and improve focus.

In England, 1 in 4 adults experience a mental health problem each year — you’re not alone, and reaching out early makes a difference.

How we can help (Plymouth)

At Wellbeing & Recovery Massage, I combine sports therapy, remedial massage and breathwork to calm the nervous system, ease pain, and support better sleep and mobility — especially if you’re recovering from injury or surgery. It’s a safe space to pause, reset, and feel looked after. (NHS guidance also highlights being active as a simple, effective way to support mental wellbeing.)

Today’s gentle nudge
• Book a FREE assessment with your first appointment (no pressure, just a plan).
• Or DM me “CHECK-IN” and I’ll message you back personally.

Our Story

I am a Remedial Massage Therapist, and member of the Institute of Sport and Remedial Massage, with a BTEC Level 5 Professional Diploma in Soft Tissue Therapy. I have a level 3 Sports Massage and Swedish massage qualification and have practiced Chinese trigger point massage for 20 years. I am a qualified instructor in the Kung Fu system of Southern Chow Gar Praying Mantis, I have worked with Police, taught self defence to prison staff and social workers after writing a self defence syllabus. I enjoy professional development and learning, keeping up to date with research and publications on the latest sports science from the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

My journey began about a year into my initial martial arts training, I was involved in a car accident, my Kung Fu instructor used Chinese Massage to treat the injuries. Impressed with these techniques I asked to learn, and spent the following 20 years educating myself as much as I could and treating family and friends with injuries or muscular aches and pains, often being told that I have “healing hands.” Previously I worked in the criminal justice arena; in the community and prisons, developing and delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Recovery programmes. In November 2016 I made the decision to start my own company wellbeing and Recovery Massage, doing what I love and have no regrets. I take pride in my role as a professional remedial massage therapist and enjoy maintaining ongoing professional development, I am passionate about recovery and love my job and enjoy helping and empowering. I am very lucky to work with an excellent network of professionals which include a Dietician, Personal trainer and gymnastics coach, Yoga teachers and a Tai Chi instructor. Take care and be well, maybe I can help you and be part of your journey.
