Are you training for a Spring Event? Playing sport? Training regularly? Sitting in front of a computer all day? Carrying small children all day?

As a Sports and Remedial Massage Therapist I look after a wide variety of patients. From regular exercisers, to marathon runners, Iron-Men and Women, tri-athletes and people participating in everyday activities and sports. I treat their injuries and niggles through Deep Tissue Massage, Myo-fascial massage, Acupuncture, exercises and through Strapping and Taping.

Strapping and Taping is the direct application of elastic and non-elastic tape to support a joint or muscle group, to limit its range of motion, thereby reducing pain, inflammation and promoting healing.

The most common exercise related injuries needing strapping are sprained and strained ankles, knees, wrists and shoulders. Strapping an area allows you to function pain free and gets you back to full fitness more efficiently.

It is not only exercise or sports people involved:  more recently I have been applying strapping to backs and shoulders to help with computer based injuries and aches. This postural correction technique not only relieves the strained muscles of the upper back and neck, but limits the movement of the shoulder blades and shoulders, keeping your back straight and supported.

So in short: Strapping and Taping can help with:

  • Sprains and Strains
  • Muscle Pain
  • Joint Stabilisation
  • Postural Correction

Since swapping the world of acting for a treatment room in the 1990’s, Simon  qualified as a Remedial and Sports Massage therapist, Hypnotherapist, Sports Hypnotherapist, Cranio-Sacral Therapist and is also a Reiki Master.

Simon worked as part of the original Holmes Place treatment suite in Chelsea before setting up in private practice. In 2006 he established Corehealth, a Pilates and Treatment clinic in Crouch End with his wife Lorraine and in 2008 became co-director of Chelsea Natural Health Clinic where he practices two days a week. He works extensively in the sport, leisure and fitness industries, film and theatre and corporate sector, providing treatments, coaching, stress and self-management services, running and sport psychology workshops and most recently provided his relaxation and sleep audio for in-flight services on Lufthansa and Cathay Pacific long-haul.

His most recent health and wellness recordings: Smoke Free, Anxiety Release, Breathe Easy can be heard and downloaded from www.corehealthsuite.com

Remedial (deep tissue) and Sports Massage, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Reiki and Hypnosis, are the modalities Simon employs to facilitate healing, change and balance. He believes and adheres to the principle that where there is a need for change and healing, this will be served better if the ‘whole’ of the person is able to relax deeply. Musculo-skeletal injuries, stress related conditions or psycho-emotional issues can best be addressed and dealt with if the brain and mind is allowed to rest, as during this rest the vital and natural healing abilities of the body can function without interference or hindrance from both internal and external stresses.

As an experienced but not exceptionally fast, (“OK 3.28 is my best”), marathon runner, issues of fitness, diet, nutrition, sports injuries and motivation, have become a core of Simon’s treatment approach. Having recently completed his first ultra-marathon in South Africa, his focus is increasingly tending towards treating running and exercise related injuries and working with various runners issues. He recently qualified in Sports Hypnosis and already treats a wide variety of sports and exercise related psychological issues.

He recently launched his Stretches for Runners on You Tube, go to http://www.youtube.com/user/simonheale#g/u

Simon also teaches Usui Reiki courses at all levels from 1 to 3, including Master Training. He is registered with the National Register of Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists, and is a member of the London and Counties Society of Physiologists. As co-director of Chelsea Natural Health Clinic he is proud to be part of this exciting and developing practice.
