As my Alternative Medicine training progressed I realized my particular interest was in the treatment of chronic pain conditions, sports injuries and musculoskeletal issue. I began to study a wide variety of Sports Massage and Bodywork Techniques to address a wide range of physical problems. I began to focus my work and study on working as a Chronic Pain Specialist, while also refining my skills and knowledge in Sports Injury Treatment. My Advanced Massage & Bodywork training includes extensive study in Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release and Deep Tissue Massage. Most of my specialist massage & bodywork training has been with the excellent, Jing Advanced Massage Training, of Brighton. I was honored to be one of the very first ‘Jing BTEC students’, when they introduced the BTEC level 6 Professional Diploma in Advanced Clinical Massage and Sports Massage, gaining a ‘distinction’ in this degree level qualification in 2013. My BTEC, and further training, gives me unsurpassed knowledge in treatment of soft-tissue (muscular & myofascial) pain and the ‘hands-on’ treatment of muscle, tendon, ligament and fascia pathology. Since my BTEC I have also qualified in Manipulative Therapy with Cameron Reid DO, and Medical Acupuncture with OMT Training; I hope to study Medical Herbalism and Tui Na in the future.
