HANDS-ON

Your therapist Catherine Holland

I gained a Diploma in Remedial Massage from the Northern Institute of Massage based in Bury, Lancashire in May 2002. I am a member of the NAMMT (RM) National Association of Masseurs and Manipulative Therapists (Remedial Massage) and CNHC, the government body for regulating alternative health professionals.

During the 10 years since I qualified, I have become expert at assessing and treating injuries so that they heal in the optimum time. Treatment is equally effective for recent and old injuries – though the latter generally respond more slowly before reaching complete recovery. I have particular success with injuries that have not responded to previous treatment. Be prepared for tenderness in areas that are being treated, but please tell me about this. I need your feedback to pinpoint the damaged tissue and to regulate pressure so that you benefit fully from the work that I am doing. People often find that it is worth travelling for treatment. Sometimes they have been seeking help for many months. See Running testimonial.
