Personal Profile
Kelly is a qualified Sports & Swedish Massage Therapist who studied at Gatehead College and her aspiration is to become a Sports Therapist involved specifically in rehabilitation.
Kelly is a qualified Sports/Deep Tissue & Swedish Massage Therapist who studied at Gatehead College and also a Bowen Therapist who studied with the European College of Bowen Studies.
Her aspiration is to become a proficient Sports Therapist involved specifically in rehabilitation.
Kelly is a former international athlete who has had her fair share of treatments on the physio table and therefore brings first hand experience to her therapies.
Kelly gained her first international vest at the age of 15 and continued to compete internationally for the next 8 years, travelling all over the world.
Her goal to reach the 1992 Olympics was thwarted when at the age of 20 she suffered a double pneumothorax (collapsed lungs). Fortunately, she was referred to a surgeon in Liverpool who was developing a revolutionary key-hole surgery technique. She was only the 2nd person in the world to undergo this type of surgery and it was the first success story. This technique is now widely used on lung cancer patients.
It was the forced retirement from her beloved athletics and the massive void it left that spurred her on to become a massage therapist. Unfortunately she did not recieve the correct rehabilitation program following her operations and it is this lack of understanding she would like to address so in the future it may prevent anyone else failing to get the correct rehabilitation advice, exercise and support that they need to achieve their goals.
Sports | Swedish Massage and the Bowen Technique
Sports massage is a deep tissue technique and is one of the most effective therapies for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the musculo-skeletal system. Received regularly this may help athletes prevent injuries, which might otherwise be caused by overuse. A constant build up of tension in the muscles from regular activity may lead to stresses on joints, ligaments, tendons, as well as the muscles themselves.
To benefit from a sports massage you do not need to be a sports performer. Office workers, manual labourers and those who like gardening, walking, jogging and many other pastimes will feel the benefit too.
Swedish Massage is one of the oldest forms of treatments in the world and is a lighter and more holistic treatment and is a great stress reliever and helps promote relaxation. It is a good all round treatment for those who feel in the need of a little pampering.
The Bowen Technique is primarily a remedial therapy tool where the technique requires the therapist to make a series of precise moves over, muscle, soft and connective tissue and tendons. The work is very subtle, relaxing and gentle involving no hard or prolonged pressure.
A feature of the work is that between sets of moves the therapist will leave the room and allow the client to rest. This is a key element of Bowen and is a defining aspect of the technique as well as being one of the most important.
The break allows the body the opportunity to create a decision about what action needs to be taken in response to the moves given.
The moves aren't painful and so therefore defence isn't called for. There is no friction or rubbing so no need to increase fluid to the area. The breaks give the nervous system a chance to establish the correct actions.
