and owned by Paul Martin. Paul has been trained by some of the top
educators in the fields of Sport Science, Exercise Physiology and
Sport & Remedial Massage Therapy at the ISRM approved London

the School of Sport & Exercise Sciences, Bangor. He
began his education in Sports Massage while undertaking a degree
in Sport,
Health and Physical Education at the prestigious University of Wales
Bangor and
continues to participate in high level further study in order to
remain at the forefront of Health Education.
Paul
is a registered member of the Institute
of Sport & Remedial Massage and
is required to obtain a certain level of CPD (continued professional
development), education and experience each year in order to remain
a member of this professional body. The ISRM logo is your assurance
of a competent and well educated practitioner working safely and
effectively within your community. To find out more about the ISRM
please click on the logo below. Paul is also a member of The Complementary
& Natural Healthcare Council - an organisation formed with backing
from the Department of Health for the purpose of regulating complementary
therapies.
Paul
works closely with Chiropractors, Osteopaths and other Health Care
Professionals and has built up an extensive referral network that
includes; GP's, Yoga therapists, physiotherapists, personal trainers,
podiatrists etc.. ensuring that you are always being cared for by
the appropriate practitioner.
Paul
works alongside dedicated athletes during adventure races, has supported
the London Marathon, and regularly works with Fire Fighters, Police
and Milatary athletes participating in The
Fire Service Charity Three Peaks Challenge,
Ironman and similar events. Additionally Paul works closely with
a Motorcycle Enduro Race Team at extreme events such as the Welsh
Two Day Enduro and provides well appreciated support at the White
Rose Challenge Cycle Race and local road cycle time trials.
Pauls
experience with professional athletes has extended to Karate
world champions, professional
dancers (including
performers from High School Musical and on location on
the set of the Holywood production of Mamma Mia),
Mountain Bike Areal Display Trials Riders and world champion Downhill
Mountainbike racers. Paul
also regularly works with rowers, local running clubs, fell runners,
and climbers and provides clinical and home support for people suffering
with MS, ME, Fibromyalgia, stroke rehabilitation, Dystonia and Hemiplegia.
As
a climber and cyclist himself Paul has experienced how it feels
to train to a high standard, become obsessed with performance and
consequently is well aware of the agony of sports injuries and enforced
rest. Paul has climbed worldwide and completed an epic solo rock
climbing tour of Europe on a mountain bike and, (perhaps to be expected),
has had first hand experience of over training leading to chronic
illness and the subsequent rehabilitation proccess. Paul will shortly
be training as a yoga teacher and has been practicing yoga for over
9 years.
More
recently Paul has volunteered to play a key role in the education
of blind Nepalise students in Pokhara, Nepal and currently assists
as a tutor at The London School of Sports Massage and The Welsh
School of Sports Massage. Additionally, Paul Martin has been recognised
by the SRTC to provide
Sport & Remedial Massage to members of
the British Athletics Commission and the Elite Athletes Club.
