About Kerryn
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.
