Hi, I'm Emily!
I am a professional, fully qualified and insured Soft Tissue Therapist based in Henley-on-Thames. I work from my home and on a mobile basis so also cover the surrounding areas in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire, such as Marlow, High Wycombe, Maidenhead, Reading, Caversham..
I studied Thai Massage in Chiang Mai, Thailand, before qualifying with a Level 5 Diploma in Soft Tissue Therapy from the Oxford School of Sports Massage. Since then, I have worked with the world renowned Leander Rowing Club, Henley Cricket Club and Crossfit Wycombe as well as treating many private clients who vary in size, shape, fitness and have a range of issues. This has given me in-depth experience and knowledge of soft tissue therapy treatments which I have further developed by undertaking a number of Clinical Professional Development (CPD) courses, including:
- Acupuncture Techniques
- Pre and Post Natal (Pregnancy) Massage
- First Aid
- Kinesiology Taping
- Oncology Massage
Having rowed at a high level for 7 years, and completed the UK Ironman in 2011, I continue to train everyday and therefore understand the aches and pains resulting from training.
I’ve also seen how other aspects of life; driving, working at a computer, flying regularly, etc, affect the soft tissues and a persons comfort.
Whether you drive to work, sit at a desk all day then drive home and sit in front of the TV/computer or run a marathon ever week I can help release the tension caused by your lifestyle.
I work to improve the quality of the soft tissues within the body. Soft tissue treatment causes an increase in blood supply which releases tension, flushes through lactic acid and realigns scar tissue. I work to correct imbalances built up through training and everyday activities, allowing my patients greater freedom of movement and consequently, better quality of life.
