After working in basic massage, in 2019 Graeme gained his L5 Sports Massage & Remedial Soft Tissue Therapy at NLSSM, the pre-eminent training school, where he met Rachel, a fellow course-mate.
Graeme specialises in helping clients with scars (mainly from cosmetic surgery), hypermobility, scoliosis, and post-natal challenges.
He is passionate about sport, mainly as a spectator these days after picking up injuries as a younger man competing from county to national level in sports ranging from rugby and swimming to weight lifting and the javelin, and he has a black belt in Taekwon Do. Graeme is married with three kids and two Cockapoos, and with any spare time he almost keeps on top of the garden and keeping fit.
Since graduating in Sport & Leisure Management from Loughborough University in 2009, Rachel had fallen into a desk job and knew she wanted to follow her passion and move towards an active sport-related role. In 2018, she decided to train towards her L5 Sports Massage and Remedial Soft Tissue Therapy qualification at NLSSM, where she met Graeme. After qualifying in 2019, she has expanded her knowledge and gained her Kinesiology Taping and Cupping qualification with RockTape.
Rachel has always had a keen interest in sport, including tennis, sailing and skiing – although fitting this in to her hectic family life with two young children and labrador can prove tricky. Instead, she maintains her fitness through running, HIIT classes and Pilates.
