Personal Statement
I'm a qualified, fully insured, multi-skilled massage therapist with a physiotherapy background and nearly 20 years of experience both in the U.K and Poland.
After graduation from the Medical Vocational School in 2000 in Warsaw, I gained extensive physiotherapy experience in many hospitals in Warsaw, including working as a physiotherapy technician in a renowned Polish rehabilitation hospital where I worked alongside some of the best specialists in the field of physiotherapy. I was also employed at the prestigious sports club, Okecie Warsaw as masseur.
In 2008, I graduated from the North London School of Sports Massage gaining a BTEC Level 4 Professional Diploma in Sports and Remedial Soft Tissue Therapy
Since 2008, I have been working for a Premier League Football Club, in addition to some of London's top sports clinics, health clubs and health spas including:
• West Ham United Football Club
• Dorchester Collection
• Highgate Private Hospital
• The Laboratory Fitness Club
• Ware Football Club
• Cockfosters Football Club
My area of expertise is sports therapy, but I strongly believe my treatment would benefit not only sports people like gym users, amateur or professional athletes but also individuals with day-to-day soft tissue problems. I use a variety of techniques and personalise the treatment for each client. Depending on indications, conditions and needs, my treatment would include:
• deep tissue massage,
• trigger point therapy,
• myofascial release,
• muscle energy techniques,
• stretching
I'm a dynamic, quickly adaptable and ambitious person. My sense of humour and personality make me a good team player. I am constantly trying to broaden my vocational knowledge and I regularly participate in various conferences and training programs.
