The treatments will be shaped to suit your needs and will stretch and mobilise your body, helping to loosen muscular tension and increase joint mobility. My name is Sara and I have been a fully qualified massage therapist specialising in deep tissue and Swedish massage for years. I am currently studying sports injury management and I also have a degree in sports science — from Hertfordshire University. I am fully qualified in all the treatments I have listed and am insured with FHT. When I went travelling in several countries to Australia, Malaysia and South East Asia was when I really started to take an interest in massage and the benefits of pain relief. I was involved in a car crash in Australia where i was the passenger and a lorry hit the back of the car I was in. The lorry was travelling at 80 miles an hour! I sustained severe whiplash so I have to have regular sports massage treatments to ease my pain. After the first month of the injury, I was relying on using strong painkillers to help me deal with the pain. I had to have so much time off work, where I was working as a fitness consultant at Fitness first and teaching swimming, before I received the treatments from a sports therapist. Then I discovered a very good sports massage therapist who was extremely talented and not only fixed my pain instantly, psychologically he made me feel stronger in order to help me through the emotional pain and the traumatic shock I had experienced. I was suddenly able to move my neck again after all the months I had been in so much pain, I felt so thankful and inspired. From that day on I thought I would love so much to have a job which is that rewarding and satisfying.
