Lorraine Strudwick

Lorraine Strudwick is a Sports and Remedial Massage Therapist, gaining her BTEC Professional Diploma in Clinical Sport & Remedial Massage (Level 5) qualification from the renowned and highly respected London School of Sports Massage.

 

Sports and remedial massage therapy is not just for participants of regular sporting activities. While professional competitive sporting pursuits may take the body to limits of endurance, we all subject our bodies to a range of different stressors everyday, both through work and recreational activities, which can lead to muscle and soft tissue imbalances and eventually to chronic aches and discomfort.

 

Sports and remedial massage therapy can identify areas of dysfunction and muscle tension and treat these effectively to reduce restriction and pain, increase restorative blood and lymphatic flow and restore balance and function of the body. Whilst specific sporting injuries can benefit from sports massage, decreasing rehabilitation time and allowing a faster return to training, sports massage can also identify and work through areas of restriction which contribute to a pattern of compensatory movement and increased risk of future injury.

 

Common presenting symptoms which benefit from remedial massage include tension, aches and pains through the lower back, neck and shoulders. Prolonged periods in seated postures such as in an office environment can contribute to muscle and soft tissue imbalances which can lead to chronic tension and muscular imbalance leaving the body susceptible to injury. Treatment for these areas of discomfort can relieve pain and help to restore balance while creating a greater awareness of the body for future health and wellbeing.

 

As a kickboxing instructor I am also familiar with many common sites and patterns of muscular pain and injuries arising from sporting activities. I have worked with all levels of athletes from those competing regularly at home and internationally to those just starting out on a new track to improve fitness and achieve personal goals.
