Mahala Gale Dip.(NLSSM), BA(LIPA), Cert.(LCDS)

With 4 years professional experience in massage therapy, and a background as a trained dancer, I am alert to the strains and injuries that can be caused by both acute physical exercise and everyday routine and repetitive activities.

The natural interest I took in anatomy and physiology as a dancer led me to train at the North London School of Sports Massage. I learned not only how to treat sports injuries through massage techniques, but also how to identify the source of the problem and give practical advice and exercises to correct the cause.

I recognise that too many people go through their lives accepting muscle pain without seeking treatment, which results in the weakness becoming more serious and painful.

My regular clients are from all walks of life, including medical professionals, dancers, sports people, entertainers, office and manual workers.

After my initial Sports Massage training I added to my professional experience by training and working at Pure Massage for 2 years, which specialises in a holistic approach to massage for well being. I trained in deep tissue massage, and facial stress-releasing massage technique

I found that the relaxation of the client is vital to the most productive work with the muscles, promoting the release of tension and pain.
