Kathy Innes

Senior Sports Massage Therapist and Pilates Instructor

Over 18 years ago, after having my children, I decided to leave my pressurised city job and follow my passion of fitness. This initially led me to training as an aerobics and fitness instructor, I loved teaching and this sparked my interest in how to help my clients overcome injuries so they could continue training. So often, clients would speak to me before class expressing how they were limited in what they could do because of a long standing injury or condition and how frustrating it was to them not to be able to do what they loved doing.

In 2007 I embarked on what was to be a life changing course, I studied for a diploma in Pilates with the renowned Pilates Institute. I fell in love with how simple but effective this exercise regime was and couldn’t wait to start being able to use Joseph Pilates method to help my clients not only recover from injury but to strengthen and create a more balanced body. Over the years I have been given such joy by seeing clients get out of pain, recover quickly from injuries and manage chronic conditions such as arthritis.

As my interest in movement and Pilates continued to grow, I wanted to further develop my knowledge on how and why injuries were caused, and I went on to study with the prestigious NLSSM, The School of Sports Massage and gained a Level 5 BTEC in Sports & Remedial Massage Therapy. Over the last few years I have also gained qualifications in Pregnancy Massage, ScarWork Therapy and Medical Acupuncture. I feel very passionate about providing a professional, friendly and approachable environment where you feel completely confident and at ease in our expert hands.

Anthony Bunce

Sports and Remedial Massage Therapist

My name is Anthony and I graduated from the London School of Sports Massage (L.S.S.M) in November 2018 gaining a BTEC Level 5 in sports and remedial massage therapy. Having always had a keen interest in sports and fitness I played football all through my teens and early twenties. After giving that up and wanting to fill the void left by I watched a friend run in a race for life and that’s where I caught the running bug. As I approached my thirties, I had already been taking part in several 5K & 10K races but always thought that would be my limit.

Then came the idea to run the London Marathon. I ran my first marathon in 2010 and since then I have run all sorts of distances from Parkrun’s to a 63-mile Ultra Marathons and everything in between. During the last 10 years of running, I am also a keen cyclist, often riding in sportives and over the last 3 years I have really been working hard on developing my endurance fitness in the gym which has led me to further training in becoming a Personal Trainer. Being a runner, cyclist and gym user, I understand how you and your body can feel, whether that is training for or post event, so with this mind, I treat the the way that I like be treated as I understand the benefits that can be had from regular treatment before and after event but also during our day to day lives where stress and tension can build up.
