About James

Over the past 25 years I have worked as a lecturer in Sports Science and Personal Training qualifications. The subjects that I teach include Anatomy, Nutrition for Sports Performance, Specialised Fitness Training and (of course) Sports Massage. Teaching has been a fulfilling journey for me, particularly when delving into the intricacies of the human body and how sports and exercise performance can be improved through effective training and positive supporting habits.

In addition, I also coach triathletes in which I develop training programmes to enhance their performance and help them to achieve their goals, whether they be competitive, or simply to enjoy the sport, improve fitness, and reach personal targets.

Beyond my academic and coaching roles, I am a dedicated competitive triathlete and runner. Having faced my fair share of injuries and setbacks over the years, I empathise with the frustrations that can arise and the impact they have on both progression and race preparation. This personal experience alongside my academic background fuels my commitment to providing effective sports massage that aids in recovery, injury prevention, rehabilitation, and the support it can provide to achieving peak performance.

My qualifications include a degree in Sport and Exercise Science, a Certificate in Personal Training, Level 3 and Level 4 qualifications in Sports Massage Therapy, and a Certificate in Acupuncture and Dry Needling.

Get in Touch

I have been to see James after having severe pain in my lower back and hip. I have suffered for many years with severe pain after riding my bike. After a couple of sessions I am moving a lot better and I am almost pain free after riding my bike.

I would highly recommend James.

Matt Cooke
I was referred to James by a friend of mine after suffering a sports injury for several months which had been preventing me from doing my usual daily activities.

James was very professional and completely understood my issue. After only two treatments I am well on the way to being pain free and also able to participate in the sports I love again.

Emily Cocker
I have recently started to see James for sports massage. As an athlete, I am prone to muscle tightness and regular massage helps enormously to prevent injury and allow me to continue training and racing.

James is extremely knowledgeable and as an experienced athlete himself, he understands the needs of an injury-prone athlete like me!

Tessa Jones
James has provided great sports massages to us as a family, both treating specific issues and for maintenance.

This has really helped with both our son competing on his bike at a national level, through to the marathon runners in our family. Highly recommended!

Ellen Ratcliffe
I have experienced lower back pain for years due to the nature of my work.

I have tried different treatments, physios, sports massages but I can safely say James is the best I’ve used. Fully recommended!

Matt Ellis
On my 1st appointment James worked on my back and really loosened it up to allow a greater range of movement and reduced pain. The 2nd visit I had the same result with my back along with working on my legs, this resulted in reduced knee pain and being able to fully squat.

I would fully recommend James, it has been a really positive experience for me.
