Hello, I'm Kath.

​

I am a Soft tissue therapist based in Newcastle-under-Lyme and Chester.

​

I qualified as a Level 5 Soft tissue therapist with the Oxford School of Sports Massage (OSSM). I was inspired to train as a Soft tissue therapist after a series of running and cycling injuries. These injuries led me to want to understand my own body better and how I could best support it to get back to doing the activities I loved. Now I do my best to help others do the same, whether your goal is returning to your favourite sport after an injury or being able to move better and stay mobile.

​

Before training as a Soft tissue therapist, I worked in the fields of forensics, musculoskeletal science, and public health. Now I combine my detective skills and love of anatomy to help find the muscular culprits of pain and injury!

​

I have also authored and contributed to a number of research and review articles published in scientific peer-reviewed journals, including the Cochrane and National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

​

Outside of the clinic, I enjoy running and hiking. I have ran five marathons and four half marathons. I have completed several multi-treks in the UK and abroad, including the Camino Frances at nearly 1000km. As someone who is active and enjoys sport and adventure, I understand the frustrations that come with injury and the importance of manual therapy for injury prevention and rehabilitation.

​

I am fully insured member of The Institute of Soft Tissue Therapists (ISRM), a highly reputable professional body for the practice of Soft tissue therapy in the UK.
