THE FACE BEHIND THE BUSINESS

Hi, I'm Emily Sherwood and welcome to Sports Massage and Movement.

I've always had a serious passion for sport & fitness. I have been participating in both team & individual sports throughout my whole life. I have experienced first-hand the impact physical activity can have on both your physical & mental well-being & how picking up an injury affects more than just the physical.

I am a firm believer that when it comes to injuries, pain, discomfort, & general aches, the best medicine is prevention. I work with people to help them manage their bodies in a way that lowers their risk of injury, using a multitude of techniques from deep tissue massage to dry needling.

I also provide Personal Training services, designed to help busy people fit in their workouts around their schedules. One of my favourite things about my work is seeing the positive impact on clients’ all-round well-being & learning that exercise benefits other aspects of their lives; I love the feel good factor that exercise gives my clients!

PERSONAL

A little more about me!

I love participating in, watching & discussing all things sports. From a young age I played netball, football, rounders, danced & even dabbled in a bit of kickboxing. Football was my main focus for a long time, and I played as a Goalkeeper.

More recently, I have switched my own training to a hybrid focus - so far competing in female doubles Deka Fit, female doubles Gym Race, female double Gym Race Heavies, solo Deka Mile & solo Deka Strong! Next up is a mixed doubles Deka Fit! I love how this type of training has made me feel, even the running - which is something I never thought I'd say!!

Aside from work, I love walking & getting out in nature, spending time with family & friends, holidaying & exploring new places, a smidge of golf, & as a huge foodie, I am always finding new places to brunch, lunch & dine!
