James qualified in soft tissue massage in 2016 and since then has been able to supplement his extensive personal training career to offer the full package. Being a keen sportsman himself, he knows the importance of staying pain free on a regular basis.

Unfortunately, James suffered a serious knee injury which left him unable to play sports from a young age, spending lots of time on the treatment table. That wasn’t going to beat him though and rather than dwelling on the injury, he took the positives and decided he should use all the knowledge he had learnt about his own injuries and start helping others recover from theirs.

He now focusses on both the strength and fitness of clients through their rehabilitation and beyond as they look to maintain healthy lifestyles, supplementing this with soft tissue work to help them stay pain free. At the same time he is a firm believer that soft tissue therapy is not just for those sportsmen and women out there but for everyone going through everyday life, where he also aims to keep people pain free and mobile.

In his spare time, you will find him mainly on the cricket pitch in the summer. Otherwise it’s in the gym or following his beloved Man United.
