About
Since gaining professional accreditation in 2003 Abi has worked in various settings offering Sport Therapy. Whilst working with rugby teams she has used taping techniques and massage to keep players training and playing, as well as creating sport and position specific training programmes and giving nutrition advice. She provides the on pitch first aid during matches, and referrals to other healthcare professionals as needed, and has written several rehabilitation programmes.
With individuals the service tends to be more focused on rehabilitation or well being, and massage is the most commonly requested service. Abi has treated professional athletes, as well as people who have a fairly sedentary lifestyle but have muscle tightness associated with stress. Other clients have regular treatments in the run up to a competition or event, and less frequent treatments the rest of the time.
