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 Physical Training services, designed to help busy people fit in their workouts around their schedules. It’s one of my favourite things to do as you can really see the positive impact on clients’ all-round well-being; 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 - competing in my first female doubles event in September 2025 - Deka Fit! The aim is to complete a Hyrox event & go from hating running to loving it, or at least let's hope to mildly enjoy it!
​
Aside from work, I love walking & getting out in nature, spending time with family, a smidge of golf, cooking, as a huge foodie, I would never recommend cutting carbs from your diet & I am always finding new places to brunch, lunch & dine!
