"As a busy individual myself, I know the importance of avoiding injury where possible, and rehabilitating effectively should injury occur.
I like to run (usually in circles after my kids!) so I appreciate both the physical and mental benefit of keeping active.
Stretching, guided-meditations, park run and trail running are my sanity-savers.
I value my own down-time, and manage my stress levels with exercise and by ensuring I get regular hands-on-therapy, so I relish being able to support others by offering these types of treatments alongside the sports therapy."
About Kirsty
Kirsty qualified in 2005, obtaining an SMA (Sports Massage Association) accredited Diploma in Sports Massage & Remedial Bodywork, and the Raworth Reflexology Practitioner Diploma.
After 3 years clinical experience, She went on to obtain a BSc (Hons) Sports Therapy Degree at a leading London University. She has since enjoyed a busy private practise in Brighton and Hove, caring for a cross sectional range of patient for over 15 years.
Treatments with Kirsty therefore have a strong emphasis on clinical reasoning, and come from sound understanding of Functional Anatomy, as well as from a well grounded understanding of how injury can occur. However, Kirsty is uniquely able to bring an intuitive and holistic approach to sessions, in order to offer a fully-rounded treatment suitable to all populations (not just the sporting person), allowing her to work on a physical, emotional, and energetic level, as required.
With a particular interest in the biopsychosocial model applicable to pain management, rehabilitation and wellbeing, her focus is on empowering patients to self-manage their condition as much as possible, to educate people on the reasons for injury & dysfunction, and enabling patients to find the best route to resolution for on-going well-being.
Since graduation, She has undertaken numerous post-grad certificates, and continuously builds on her knowledge base, by undertaking relevant courses, attending industry conferences and keeping abreast with the recent research in relevant areas. Click for full list of qualifications here.
Kirsty provided sports therapy to athletes competing at the Aquatics centre at LONDON 2012 Olympics, and has covered seasons with Horsham & Waldran, and Brighton Blues rugby teams. She is now clinic based.
Kirsty qualified in Sharon Wheelers ScarWork in 2019 and offers treatments for the management of post-operative or post-accident/injury Scars, helping to reintegrate scar tissue for improved mobility and pliability to affected structures.
