November 2015 - England Masters Hockey is here again!
The season is upon us yet again, and I am delighted to be once again
supporting the England Masters as they progress through their selection
process for the 2016 World Cup. Good luck everyone, looking
forward to seeing old faces and meeting new at the trials.8 September 2014 - The Start of Something New......
As you have hopefully seen from the front page of the site, I am
really looking forward to starting at The Wellhead Practice in Bourne,
working alongside Philip Hakim and his team, adding sports massage
treatments to this already popular and well-established clinic.
For my regulars, and those who are unable to see me at The
Wellhead Practice, I will also continue to offer treatments from
home. For further information on The Wellhead Practice, please

15-17 August 2014 - Hockey Masters Home Nations
Hot on the heels of the World Cup saw the squad reassemble in
Belfast for this year's Home Nations tournament. A tight schedule
of 3 matches in 26 hours meant I had my work cut out maintaining the
fitness of the 18 strong squad. As always seems to be the case,
troublesome hamstrings kept me busiest, along with the usual cuts,
bruises, tight achilles' and a smattering of ball vs head contact
wounds! Runners-up this year, but this has made the team even
hungrier to achieve success at next year's European and Home Nation
Tournaments.
5-14 June 2014 - Hockey Masters World Cup
With the training complete, the teams headed over the Channel to
the World Cup, superbly hosted by the Dutch in Rotterdam. I
looked after the team during their 6 matches in 10 days, ensuring we
had 18 fit and strong players for their last match against Germany,
where a fantastic effort saw them secure the bronze medal.
30 May 2014 - England Masters Training Day
Another great day with this year's Masters at Solihull. Glorious
sunshine made up for the lack of opposition, but the guys had a good
run out taking each other on as part of their selection process.
The team are working hard so they can hopefully defend their
title, for the second time, at the forthcoming World Cup, to be held in
The Netherlands during June.February 2014 - Back to Old Haunts!
Just back from Loughborough University after scoping potential
locations and facilities, on behalf of Essentials for Health, to teach
holistic massage at this prestigous location. A particularly special
day for me as I spent 3 happy years at Loughborough doing my
undergraduate degree!January 2014 - Course Director

them over the next 6 months. Looking ahead, the autumn sees me

My work with England Masters Hockey has continued this year,
culminating in the retention of the World Cup in Canterbury. It
was a busy tournament and I was kept busy dealing with a number of
pitch-side injuries as well as keeping tired legs going.20th July 2012 - Moving to a new area
I have now relocated to Bourne in Lincs and would like to take this opportunity to thank all my wonderful clients for their support over the last 2 years.

19th November 2011 - World Masters Hockey Tournament, Singapore
What a fantastic 11 days it has been - the England Team have played exceptionally well, reaching the final where they faced New Zealand. A great game saw the English team come out on top, with a well deserved 4-0 victory to make them 2011 World Masters champions! A fantastic opportunity for me to work pitch-side with the team, keeping them fit and supple for the rigours of the tournament.
