ABOUT ME

Jamie Houlihan

Since I can remember I have always been keen on sports and fitness.

Having played to a high standard of football in my younger days, I then embarked on a career in the health & fitness industry. Starting in health club management, I was soon drawn to Personal Training. I built a fantastic client base & reputation as a PT and enjoyed 15 years of training...

...Until one day in 2013 everything changed!

In one movement...Aaargh!! PAIN I've never felt before...excruciating pain from my bum to my neck! To cut a long story (even longer recovery) short, I had split one of the discs in my lower back in half, leaving a piece of my disc floating in my spinal column. OUCH!

After surgery to remove the floating disc, I then had to go through a long rehabilitation programme, in which time I realised the huge benefit and importance of Sports Massage & Therapy for recovery.

So, whilst recovering I took it upon myself to re-train and become a Sports Therapist.

Fast forward to 2023 and 6 years of sports massage therapy, I now have many happy clients benefitting from my experience..
