... for a fitter, healthier, happier you



Sports Massage Therapy is available to all my personal training clients. It is a
discipline which includes the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of the
body’s soft tissues (muscles, ligaments and tendons.) Whilst as the name suggests
there is an emphasis on sports and exercise participants, anyone with a soft tissue
condition that limits what they can do will benefit from sports massage.
Sports massage can:
- Reduce muscle stiffness, tension, pain and fatigue
- Promote recovery after exercise
- Promote balance between muscle groups and postural awareness
- Increase flexibility and range of movement
- Prevent injuries associated with muscle tension and overuse
- Improve the speed and quality of soft tissue repair after injury
Whether you have neck and shoulder pain from sitting at a desk all day, are recovering
from an
injury which limits your movement, or need to restore optimum performance to an
overtrained
muscle group, sports massage may have something to offer you.





You can be an OptiMUM too!
Whether you have previously been a regular exerciser or not, why not take the opportunity
to look after yourself during this important time by training one to one with a specialist
in exercise and pregnancy. I am a member of the Guild of Pregnancy and Postnatal
Exercise Instructors.
Expectant mums, I can help you improve posture & lessen back ache, reduce pregnancy
symptoms such as constipation and leg cramps, control excess weight gain, prepare
your body for childbirth, boost energy levels helping you feel better about yourself,
and lay the foundations for a faster post natal recovery.
As your body changes throughout the pregnancy, so the sessions will be adapted to
suit you, whilst all the time ensuring the safety of you and your baby.
New mums, following your 6-week post-partum check-up you can begin a structured exercise
programme. I can help you re-tone your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, correct
posture, regain your figure, develop good techniques in your daily tasks - essential
in back care, and enhance that feel good factor with some all important ‘you time’.
With Optimum Personal Training you get the support you need to achieve a body that
protects and supports you during pregnancy and beyond – and one that feels great
too!
Personal Training should be exactly that – personal to you. Everyone who employs
a personal trainer starts from their own level of fitness and has their own very
specific goals. That is why I offer all my clients unique training programmes, tailored
to individual needs and constantly monitored. I take the time to understand what
my clients want to achieve and I have the skills to deliver.
You may want to train for a specific event or sport, lose some weight, make postural
changes, increase your muscle mass, begin an exercise programme for the first time,
get better results than with your current training, or simply improve your overall
fitness for a healthier, happier lifestyle.
Whatever the reason, having your own dedicated specialist on hand to make your training
safer, more effective and fun is worth it. It helps you stay motivated and see real
progress towards your fitness goals.
With Optimum Personal Training you can train at home, work, or outside in the fresh
air, at a time to suit you and your schedule.
I employ a holistic approach including diet and lifestyle factors, but one which
is supportive, non-intimidating and realistic to the pressures of work and home life.

You may prefer to train with a partner or a small group of people, whether it be
family, friends or work colleagues. This is a unique way for you to benefit from
the quality of service that personal training offers, with the added motivation and
support that training and achieving results together can bring.
The ‘train with a friend’ and small group rates can also be a way to make your training
more cost effective with the session rate shared between the group.
Group training is most effective when it brings together people at similar fitness
levels and with the same health and fitness goals in mind. Perhaps you’re looking
to complete a new running challenge together, are targeting weight loss, or you’re
new mums – exercising together is a real motivating force, its morale boosting,
and can make your exercise a lot more fun!
Programmes are designed to allow you to work at your own speed, maintaining much
of the quality of individual attention that personal training brings, whilst working
towards your individual and group goals. You can train in someone’s house or garden,
your workplace, or out in the local park.
