Paula Edwards

Paula is an experienced sports and remedial massage therapist specialising in postural analysis and treatment of long-term conditions.

Paula qualified in sports and remedial massage in 1997 at the London School of Sports Massage (LSSM) and beauty therapy at Stellenbosch Academy of Health and Skin Care (SA). In 2004 she became a senior tutor at the North London School of Sports Massage (NLSSM). She divides her time one third each between her mobile therapy business, her teaching, and working at the Oakwood Physiotherapy Clinic. Her mobile business enables her to combine her treatment skills with the flexibility for clients of on site or home treatments to suit their busy lifestyles and demanding training regimes. At the Oakwood Physiotherapy Clinic she works as part of the multi-disciplinary team including physiotherapist and osteopaths, which enables her to keep abreast of the latest developments in treatment in allied disciplines.

Treatments include pre and post event massage, body maintenance, muscular-skeletal assessment, specific massage and stretching techniques to improve muscular problems and remedial exercises to start the rehabilitation. When appropriate she uses her extensive network of contacts to refer clients to specialised therapists and instructors to improve the rehabilitation.

Her clients include a variety of amateur and competitive sports people: golfers, cyclists, a premiership footballer, tri-athletes, marathon runners, cricket, tennis and badminton players. She also has extensive experience in treating non-sports conditions like repetitive strain injures, back and neck problems and post-operative rehabilitation following joint surgery.
