Mr Tristram Davies BTEC (Dip) Soft Tissue Therapy & Sports Massage
Tristram Davies, known as Tris, is a Sports Massage and Soft Tissue Therapist with a practical, hands-on approach to helping people feel better in their body and keep doing the things they enjoy.
Originally a trainee equestrian eventer, he developed a strong understanding of how the body responds to training, physical demand and repeated strain. He went on to complete advanced massage and soft tissue therapy training with the Institute of Sports and Remedial Massage in London, undertaking a more in-depth course than many therapists, with extensive hands-on training, practical examinations and case study work.
As Amanda Marsh’s partner, Tris has long seen how physical therapy can improve people’s quality of life and has found the same through his own client work, using skilled soft tissue techniques to reduce tension, support posture, improve muscle elasticity and help people recover more comfortably.
He works with a wide range of clients, from sporty and highly active individuals to people dealing with everyday tightness, stress and muscular discomfort. He believes sports massage is for everyone, not just athletes, and always adapts treatment to the person in front of him.
How Tris can help Tris supports patients with a wide range of muscular tension, soft tissue discomfort and movement-related issues. Sports massage and soft tissue therapy are commonly used to help with neck and shoulder tension, desk-related tightness, training soreness, reduced flexibility and muscular discomfort linked to daily life or exercise.
He is particularly well placed to help people with postural tension, lower back tightness, shoulder or neck discomfort, lower leg tightness, and trigger points, fibromyalgia, DOMS and the general build-up of stress and tension in the body. His work also suits people looking for regular maintenance, support around training and recovery or treatment to help them feel looser, more comfortable and better supported physically.
Tris also offers hot stones treatment for those wanting a more soothing and calming experience. While sports massage is often the better fit for recovery, maintenance and tighter problem areas, hot stones can be an excellent option for stress, general tension and full-body relaxation.
How Tris works Tris takes an individual, responsive approach to treatment. He uses hands-on soft tissue techniques to help release tension, improve muscle length and elasticity, support posture and enhance comfort in movement.
His work is not just about treating what feels tight on the day. He also considers how the body is coping overall, helping clients recover well, maintain better tissue health and reduce the risk of problems building up over time.
A key part of his approach is comfort and consent. Pressure is always adapted to the individual and clients are encouraged to say if they would like less pressure, need an area avoided or want treatment adjusted in any way. He works with what feels appropriate, useful and manageable for that person on that day.
What to expect At your appointment, Tris will take time to understand what is bothering you, how your body has been feeling and what you would like from treatment. Sessions are tailored to the individual and may focus on specific areas or take a broader full-body approach, depending on your needs and preferences.
During treatment, dignity and comfort are always respected. Tris works using his hands and hands-on massage techniques, sometimes including passive stretching where appropriate. For sports massage, treatment is focused and practical, while hot stones sessions use heated basalt stones to encourage soothing release and relaxation.
After treatment, many people feel looser, calmer and more comfortable in their body. Some may feel a little tired or mildly sore, particularly if muscles were tight beforehand. Gentle hydration, easy movement and rest where needed are usually sensible afterwards.

Ms Kerryn Edmans BTEC (Dip) Soft Tissue Therapy & Sports Massage
Kerryn is a Soft Tissue Therapist and Sports Massage practitioner who supports active individuals and everyday clients through hands-on treatment, recovery work and movement-focused care. Her work includes cupping therapy, which uses gentle suction to help ease muscular tension, encourage circulation and support recovery. Her approach centres on helping people reduce discomfort, improve mobility and manage the physical demands of sport, work and daily life.
She trained in Sports Massage at the Institute of Sport and Remedial Massage, where her ambition to specialise in soft tissue therapy first developed. Since then, she has built a strong foundation of practical skills and clinical understanding, continuing to refine her approach through experience and ongoing professional development.
Originally from New Zealand, Kerryn spent more than a decade working in elite equestrian sport after moving to the UK. She worked as a manager and travelling groom for top New Zealand eventing riders, gaining first-hand experience of high-performance environments, including three Olympic Games. This background gives her a strong understanding of the physical demands placed on the body and the importance of maintaining movement, recovery and resilience.
Kerryn’s approach is grounded and realistic, shaped by both her clinical training and her experience within performance sport. Her focus is on helping people move well, perform comfortably and stay active over the long term.
How Kerryn can help Kerryn supports patients with a wide range of muscular and movement-related issues. Soft tissue therapy and sports massage are commonly used to help with muscle tightness, post-exercise soreness, tension linked to posture and discomfort arising from repetitive activity.
She is particularly well suited to working with active individuals, those returning to exercise and people managing the physical strain of desk-based work or daily life. This includes support for restricted movement, ongoing muscular tension, recovery between training sessions, early-stage niggles and general maintenance.
Her work also benefits those who are increasing activity levels and finding that new aches or tightness are limiting progress, as well as individuals looking to stay mobile, comfortable and injury-aware.
How Kerryn works Kerryn takes a hands-on, individualised approach, adapting each session to the needs of the person in front of her. She considers not only where discomfort is felt, but how movement patterns, training load and daily habits may be contributing.
Treatment may include targeted soft tissue work, broader massage techniques and practical guidance around movement, recovery and activity levels. Pressure and technique are always adjusted to suit the individual, with the aim of achieving effective treatment without unnecessary discomfort.
Her focus is on improving movement quality, reducing tension and supporting recovery, while helping clients better understand how to look after their bodies between sessions.
What to expect At your first appointment, Kerryn will take time to understand your lifestyle, activity levels and any areas of concern. This is followed by an assessment of movement and muscle tension, allowing treatment to be tailored to your needs.
Sessions may focus on specific areas or take a more general approach depending on your goals. Some discomfort during treatment can be normal, but this is always kept within a manageable level and adapted to suit you.
After treatment, it is common to feel looser, more mobile and sometimes slightly sore or tired, similar to the feeling after exercise. These effects typically settle within 24 to 72 hours.
Kerryn’s approach is calm, practical and responsive, helping clients feel at ease while supporting them to move and function more comfortably.

Mrs Kathryn Nurse
Kathryn is an experienced McTimoney Chiropractor with more than 20 years in private practice, offering whole-body care for patients of all ages. She supports a remarkably wide range of people, from babies just days old through to older adults in their nineties, with treatment focused on restoring movement, reducing pain and maintaining healthy function through every stage of life.
Her work is broad and general in scope, while also drawing on extensive experience in sports and performance care, including work with swimmers and military personnel. She offers McTimoney chiropractic, but that is only one part of her work. Through years of ongoing professional development and hands-on clinical experience, Kathryn uses a range of chiropractic techniques and selects the most appropriate approach for each individual.
Her focus is not simply on symptoms in isolation, but on the wider causes of discomfort, restriction or imbalance in the body. Kathryn is passionate about helping people move more freely and function more comfortably, whether they are managing a recent issue, a recurring problem or the physical demands of sport, work or everyday life.
How Kathryn can help Kathryn supports patients with a wide range of musculoskeletal aches, pains and movement issues. Chiropractic is commonly used to help with back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain and some joint or muscle pain, including pain linked to osteoarthritis.
She is particularly well placed to support people looking for help with posture, stiffness, reduced mobility, recurring tension, sports-related strain and general biomechanical problems affecting comfort and movement. Her whole-person style makes her a good fit for patients who want care that looks beyond the immediate area of pain and considers how the body is functioning more broadly.
How Kathryn works Kathryn takes a personalised and whole-body approach. She listens carefully, assesses thoroughly and uses a combination of techniques according to what is most suitable for the person in front of her. While some people associate chiropractic only with cracking or forceful adjustment, Kathryn’s approach is broader than that, with gentler techniques used where appropriate and all treatment tailored to the individual.
Her treatment may include chiropractic adjustments alongside soft tissue and neuromuscular techniques, with the aim of easing pain, improving movement and supporting the body’s normal function. She works to identify the underlying drivers of a problem where possible, helping patients move beyond short-term symptom relief towards better overall function.
What to expect At your first appointment, Kathryn will take time to understand your symptoms, relevant health history and lifestyle factors before carrying out a physical assessment. The initial consultation allows time for a detailed discussion, examination and treatment planning, helping you understand what may be contributing to your problem and how chiropractic care may help.
Patients can expect a thoughtful, tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment. Kathryn works with people across the age range and adapts her techniques according to need, comfort and presentation. Her focus is on helping people feel at ease, informed and confident about their care.
