Martin Blake

I am a qualified as a Sports Therapist and Fitness Trainer as well as level 5 Soft Tissue Therapist with over 25 years experience.

I’ve spent a number of years working abroad, in The Alps and Pyrenees as well as the West Coast of France – whilst actively pursuing my love of the mountains and sea. During this time, I ran and oversaw a luxury hydrotherapy centre and gym as well as treating top athletes and personalities in the fields of MotoGP and World Superbikes, to professional Football, Skiing, Snowboarding, Enduro, BMX, and downhill mountain biking. This also includes long-distance runners, rugby players, surfers, golfers and those in search of massage for aches and pains from activity, work, or life in general.

As an asthma sufferer, I understand the importance of keeping the muscles involved in respiration in good condition, and can easily relate to the postural difficulties caused by this condition. I am very focused on helping my clients find lasting solutions to their aches and pains and performance. I use a number of soft tissue techniques as well as cupping and taping as required.

I am a level 2 Mental Ill Health First Aider.

Lara Blake

I am a qualified as a Sports Therapist and Fitness Trainer as well as level 5 Soft Tissue Therapist with over 25 years experience. I have lived and worked in The Alps and Pyrenees, as well as the West Coast of France, which has allowed me to make the most of my enjoyment of mountain sports and life on the coast. Formally a ski instructor and swimming teacher, I understand the progression through sport and exercise from beginner to expert.

I have worked with athletes and personalities in the worlds of MotoGP, World Superbikes, Formula One, as well as with rugby, gymnastics, skiing, snowboarding, surfing, and golf – at all levels. Asides from working in the world of sports, I have helped people from all walks of life in search of sports and remedial massage; as a result of the stress and strains of work and day-to-day living.

Until recently I worked part-time at a busy solicitors office and so I have a real understanding of the stresses and strains that the body undergoes whilst sat at a desk for long hours of work and as such focus on helping my clients understand any postural related pain and discomfort with a focus on self awareness.

I am a level 2 Mental Ill Health First Aider.
