Currently I am a new participant of the first swing golf clinics.

As I am a massage therapist I will be on call at the clinics to assist the other participants with any remedial therapy they need or would like to ask questions about.

I also have my own Mobile Massage Business which allows me to treat clients in the comfort of their own homes outside the clinics.

I am trained in:

• Sports Massage
• Remedial Massage
• Trigger point therapy
• Myofascial Release therapy
• Skeletal Mobilisation

Massage has been proven to help with circulatory problems, phantom pain, muscular pain/soreness, Postural imbalances and is fantastic for relaxation.
