My name is Sam Ellingham and I am a qualified Sports Massage and Soft Tissue Remedial Therapist.
Prior to having children, I worked in the busy equine world. After gaining my BSAI and Int T along with D32 and D33, I trained students for their British Horse Society career exams. I competed in British Eventing, British Show Jumping, backed and schooled horses, taught clients, studied with Kelly Marks, as well as assessing NVQ candidates through their equine levels for several colleges.
Following the birth of my two children I fitted freelance instructing in around being a full time mum and several years later with a good friend, I opened a small riding centre in my home village in Suffolk, helping children share my passion for horses.
As life progressed, my family’s needs changed and I searched for a new way to help people. Having spent many years working within a tough industry and feeling the pain of muscular, ligament and tendon damage first hand, (including the agony of trying to move first thing in the morning), I embarked on a Sports Massage and Remedial Soft Tissue Therapy BTEC Level 5 Diploma Course.
I trained with the renowned North London School of Sports Massage and passed with the highest qualifications in this field.
Now I enjoy helping to ease other people’s pain using a combination of advanced soft tissue techniques such as Soft Tissue Release, Trigger Point Therapy and Muscle Energy Technique.
