About Vanessa
Vanessa is a Sport Therapy Massage practitioner based at Paula de Lange’s Clinic and the Leander Rowing Club in Henley-on-Thames.She holds a BTEC Diploma in Sport and Remedial Massage from The London School of Sports Massage (LSSM) and a VTCT in Swedish Massage from Thames Valley University.
Sport massage is a hands-on therapy that addresses the root cause of a problem. It relaxes the body, relieves pain from injury and muscle overuse, restores energy levels, and improves flexibility and strength.
Massage is not just for the sports person, it can benefit everyone – from those with physically demanding jobs (builders, painters, gardeners), to the office workers with sedentary jobs and long commutes and mothers straining to carry a baby.
Vanessa believes the body has an amazing capacity to self-heal with the right input: nutritious food, the right exercise for your body type, deep breathing to relax, and body awareness. Massage teaches you to listen to your body.
