ABOUT paul
In my youth I played many sports, from district, county and up to international level.
After college, I embarked on a career in initially finance and then sales.
Whilst always maintaining an interest in sports and fitness.
After a number of years in the sales industry I became disillusioned with the role and the purpose of it and decided I wanted to do something different. Something which helped people but and was closely linked to my love of sport.
Sports Massage Therapy was the answer. After retraining and gaining my level 3 qualification I began working as a
Sports Massage Therapist,. I then gained my level 4 qualification 18 months later.
​
I love many things about being a Sports Massage Therapist. I love building relationships.
But the best thing about the profession is seeing improvements in clients wellbeing.
