My story

I've always been drawn to physical activity. From a young age I tried all sorts of things — mainly running, swimming and basketball through my teenage years. Then, like a lot of young lads, I wanted to build muscle, which led to a shoulder injury that had a domino effect for years, through university and beyond.

That injury left me debating which path to take in life. At its worst, the pain affected my ability to use my hands whenever too much stress was applied. It was a difficult time, but an interesting journey — because as I began to recover, it reignited my interest in health and fitness in a whole new light.

I saw firsthand the difference that massage and stretching could make. It turned out I had a trapped nerve, and once I started stretching out my chest and using a massage ball, the pain began to resolve. That was the moment things clicked. I decided to go down this route to help others keep doing what they love — because massage can support recovery from injuries and help maintain and improve flexibility, which in turn helps prevent injuries from happening in the first place.
