Charlotte Softly
I am an Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage Therapist and a full member of the Sports Therapy Association.
I was inspired to train in clinical and sports massage as I am a keen runner and over the years have suffered from many different running injuries. I have always turned to sports massage to keep me running. In 2017, I completed the Jing Institute BTEC level 6 professional diploma in Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage, which is the highest level of massage qualification currently available in the UK. As part of this training, I completed a research project on the effects of IT Band Syndrome in long-distance runners.
I have a particular interest in working with runners and have taken specialised training in treating running injuries through massage, exercise rehabilitation and gait retraining. I know what it’s like to be injured and unable to do the thing you love! I also know first-hand the benefit of massage in aiding recovery and the importance of proper rehabilitation and maintenance in order to recover properly and to stay healthy and perform well.
I originally began my journey into bodywork in 1993 with a diploma in Shiatsu and Traditional Oriental Medicine from the Shiatsu College.
I am always looking to add to my skill set so that I can continue to learn how to help my clients more effectively and have also taken training in various modalities including Myofascial Release, Pregnancy Massage and Hot Stone Massage. I am currently working on a Level 4 Strength and Conditioning coaching qualification.
